Hon Hai (2317.TW; Buy, on CL): New AI server racks and Foldable phones to drive 4Q26E

We expect Hon Hai's monthly revenues to continue sequential growth through Dec 2026, leading 4Q26 revenues to grow at +39% QoQ, driven by: (1) AI data center: The next-generation AI server racks and CPO switches ramp-up, with higher ASP and early delivery. We expect Hon Hai to be the first to deliver the latest model, around 2-3 months ahead of peers, driving its Oct and onward revenue growth. Followed by GPU-powered AI server racks, the LPU-powered AI server racks should fuel the growth in Dec and onward, supporting the YoY increase in 1Q27. As our Global Server TAM update shows, we expect the AI server rack global value TAM to grow at 163% CAGR in 2025-28E to US$1tn, or 63% of the global server value TAM by 2028E. And (2) Smartphone: riding on the major brand customer's latest model launches along with the new form factor to attract more end users. As we highlighted in September (report link), we reduced our global smartphone volume estimates by 1m/ 8m/ 0.2m units to 1.1bn / 1.2bn/ 1.2bn in 2026-28E, or -10% / +2%/ +2% YoY on high memory costs; however, we remain positive on the potential for global leading brands to outperform the market given their strong brand awareness, large procurement power, and customers' stronger consumption power. We remain positive on foldable phones and expect premium models to continue to gain market share, which should be positive to Hon Hai. Maintain Buy (on CL).

3-month revenues preview: We expect the company's 4Q26E revenues to be +61% YoY/ +39% QoQ to NT$4.2 trillion. 3Q26 delivered strong revenues YoY growth of 47%, or 5% / 7% ahead of our / Bloomberg consensus, and we expect to see both YoY and MoM growth throughout Oct-Dec, driven by new AI server racks, new smartphone models, and CPO switches. Management noted that AI-related products remain on track to maintain solid growth momentum through 4Q26, while ICT products continue to benefit from typical 2H seasonal tailwinds, which should support overall operational performance in line with current consensus expectations.

Price Target Risks and Methodology - Hon Hai

Valuation methodology: We are Buy rated on Hon Hai. Our 12-month target price of NT$400 is based on an 17.9x 2027E P/E multiple, which is set in line with peers' PEG&M ratio (i.e., P/E vs. forward-year earnings growth and OPM).

Key downside risks: (1) slower-than-expected ramp-up of the AI server business; (2) weaker-than-expected EV total solution performance across EV assembly, design, software, and semis; (3) slower-than-expected ramp-up of capacity globally; and (4) fiercer-than-expected competition in the consumer electronics EMS business.

Quanta (2382.TW, Neutral): AI servers ramp-up to drive growth ahead; model transition and PC shipment slowdown could weigh on 4Q26

Quanta Sep revenues declined by 23% MoM, which we attributed to AI servers model transition, while PC entered quarter-end at a strong MoM of +62% MoM. Looking forward, we expect monthly revenues to resume sequential growth in Oct to Dec, riding on a reducing impact of AI servers model transition as new racks ramp up, along with growing general servers on agentic AI, and ASP increase on better specification and high raw material costs. We expect 4Q26E revenues to decline by 4% QoQ, considering the high base in 3Q26 and the gradual ramp-up of new AI server racks. As we highlighted in Oct (Global Server TAM updates), we expect global AI server racks (powered by NVIDIA and AMD) shipment at 63k / 110k / 164k in 2026E-28E along with the specification upgrade to drive the ASP; we raised leading US CSPs aggregate capex by 4% / 17% / 22% in 2026E-28E to US$1,397bn by 2028E, reflecting our positive view on AI spending.

Price Target Risks and Methodology - Quanta

We are Neutral rated on Quanta. Our 12-month target price of NT$300 is based on a 10.7x 2027E P/E, which references PC/server peers' EPS growth vs. P/E multiple correlation. We see EPS growth as a major factor for the stock's performance. Key upside/downside risks include: 1) stronger-/weaker-than-expected PC market recovery; 2) faster-/slower-than-expected AI server ramp-up; and 3) stronger-/weaker-than-expected demand for general servers.

Wiwynn (6669.TW, Buy): New ASIC and GPU AI server racks in expansion

Wiwynn delivered strong Sep revenues, which were 19% ahead of our estimates, reflecting strong general server demand from US leading CSPs, and its major customers' new ASIC AI server ramping up. We expect revenue YoY growth to remain strong at mid double-digit through Dec 2026, leading 4Q26 revenues to grow at +60 YoY / +8% QoQ, driven by (1) major customers' new ASIC AI servers ramping up, across air-cooled and liquid-cooled, (2) general servers end demand remaining solid on agentic AI, (3) new GPU-powered AI server racks entering mass production in 4Q26 across NVIDIA and AMD platforms, and (4) potential new customers in ASIC AI servers. As we highlighted in Oct (Global Server TAM update), we raised AI servers implied AI chips shipment by 9% / 19% in 2027 / 28E with ASIC penetration rate increasing to 58% by 2028E, and our US internet team forecasts that leading US cloud service providers (CSPs) in aggregate will grow their capex budgets by 84%/ 52%/ 13% YoY in 2026-28E, with our US CSP capex estimates raised by 4% / 17% / 22% in 2026-28E to US$1,397bn by 2028E, supporting our positive view on Wiwynn. Maintain Buy with an unchanged 12m TP of NT$4,000

Price Target Risks and Methodology - Wiwynn

We are Buy-rated on Wiwynn with a 12-month TP of NT$4,000. Our target price is based on 20.3x 2027E P/E, which is derived from PC/server peers' EPS growth vs. P/E multiple correlation. We see EPS growth as a major factor for the stock's performance.

Key downside risks: 1) weaker-than-expected AI server demand growth; 2) slower-than-expected recovery in general server demand; and 3) more severe competition in the server ODM market.

Wistron (3231.TW, Buy): AI server racks to see strong ramp-up with customer expansion and specification upgrades

Wistron's Sep revenue was up 87% YoY to NT$381bn, or 18% lower than our estimate, which we attribute to the impact of shipment timing volatility in higher-ASP AI products. We expect sequential revenue growth ahead through Dec 2026, driven by new GPU AI server racks ramp-up in 4Q26, which should drive up the ASP, along with strong AI spending and expansion of the company's customer base. The new GPU AI server racks have various racks across GPU, CPU, and LPU, supporting ODM growth in coming quarters. Sep PC shipment was up 7% MoM but down 32% YoY to 1.5m units, reflecting the slow PC demand amid the consumption pull-in under the high memory cost. Despite PC shipments growth likely being negative HoH considering the strong pull-in since late 2025, we expect the strong AI server rack ramp-up to offset the impact, driving 2H26 revenue up +41% HoH. Maintain Buy with an unchanged TP of NT$291 (12.6x 2027E P/E vs. 30.4% NI YoY in 2027-28E).

ASUS (2357.TW, Neutral): AI server racks in expansion along with PC product mix upgrade

3-month revenues preview: We expect sequential revenues decline in 4Q26 at 6% qoq, considering the PC consumption pull-in under high memory costs along with AI servers model transition. We remain positive on the company's expansion toward AI servers and expect the upcoming new models carrying higher ASP to further drive its growth in late 2026 / early 2027. We continue to expect double-digit revenues YoY in 4Q26E at 27% YoY driven by PC product mix upgrade and AI server racks ramp-up. The company retains strong commitments on capacity expansion and diversification, with issuance of US$0.5bn of convertible bonds and US$1bn of exchangeable bonds, supporting the expansion. Maintain Neutral on fair valuation.

Price Target Risks and Methodology - Asus

We are Neutral-rated on ASUS with a 12-month target price of NT$1,115. Our target price is based on 14.8x 2027E P/E, which is derived from brand makers' average ratio of 2027E P/E to 2028E NI YoY and OPM. We see EPS growth and OPM as major factors for the stock's share performance.

Key upside/downside risks include: 1) stronger / weaker-than-expected PC market growth; 2) faster / slower-than-expected AI and gaming PC growth; and 3) faster / slower-than-expected AI server ramp-up.

Compal (2324.TW, Neutral): AI servers to fuel 4Q26E/1Q27E growth

3-month revenues preview: We expect sequential revenues growth in 4Q26, considering the company's rising AI server shipments, AI server capacity expansion, and PC product mix upgrade towards high-end model (e.g. AI PC). Overall, we expect Compal's 4Q26E revenues to grow at 46% yoy/ 15% qoq, riding on AI server racks ramp-up and the company's expansion from motherboard (L6) to system (L10 / L11). We remain positive on Compal's business diversification, supported by global capacity expansion in the US, Taiwan, Vietnam and China, while consumer electronics still e92c7a75ab8b4efbba794e6b187208c8

Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

Compal's Sep revenue was up 35% YoY / 40% MoM to NT$94bn, or 3% higher than our estimate, reflecting strong AI server racks shipment ramp-up. Sep PC shipments were up 21% MoM but down 32% YoY to 1.7m units, reflecting the sluggish demand amid the rising memory cost and weak consumer electronics demand.

Inventec (2356.TW, Neutral): Components tight supply weighing on growth

Inventec's Sep revenue was up 63% YoY / 18% MoM, or 20% higher than our estimate, and we attribute the MoM growth to the strong AI server growth momentum. We model sequential revenue decline in Oct, considering the impact of the high base, components short supply and sluggish PC end demand post the demand pull-in in 1H26, leading our 4Q26E revenues up 47% YoY. We remain positive on Inventec's AI server business

3-month revenues preview: Overall, we project Pegatron's 4Q26E revenues to grow +62% YoY, driven by: (1) a continuing ramp-up in AI server shipments, across rack-level and baseboard-based, riding on the growing demand in Neocloud and enterprises, and

Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

Pegatron's Sep revenue was up 87% YoY / 143% MoM to NT$215bn, or 64% higher than our estimate. This reflects a strong ramp-up in AI servers in Sep. Sep PC shipments were up c.8% MoM but down 44% YoY to 0.46m, reflecting the weak PC demand under the high memory costs. Prior to September, the company suffered from model transition (i.e. declining demand for older models while new models were in a slow shipment ramp-up phase).

Price Target Risks and Methodology - Pegatron

We are Sell rated on Pegatron with a 12-month target price of NT$73.3. Our TP is based on a 9.7x 2027E P/E, which is derived from PC/server peers' EPS growth vs. P/E multiple correlation. We see EPS growth as a major factor for the stock's share performance.

Key risks: 1) stronger-than-expected smartphone market recovery, 2) faster-than-expected AI server ramp-up, and 3) stronger-than-expected demand on consumer electronics.
