Taiwan-based chassis maker Catcher Technology expects its revenue performance to start picking up in the third quarter due to new smartphone orders from an old client, according to company chairman Hung Shui-shu. Some market watchers believe the orders Hung mentioned are Apple's new iPhone products.
However, Catcher declined to comment further about the orders.
The market watchers also expect Catcher's revenue performance to grow 5% sequentially in the third quarter.
Catcher has announced earnings per share (EPS) of NT$10.07 (US$0.34) for the first half of the year, up from NT$5.67 in the first half of 2012.
Currently, Catcher's notebook business only contributes 40% of the company's revenues, down significantly from 55-60% in 2012. The rest of the revenues was contributed by handheld devices with smartphones already accounting for more than 40%.
