Earning Review: Price hikes to continue in 3Q26, despite the decelerating risk in 4Q26; remain Sell

2Q26 beat on strong QoQ revenue growth on accelerating price hikes

ITEQ's 2Q26 core business (OPI) was 113%/52% higher than GSe/BBG consensus and 2Q26 GM beat GSe by 6.9ppt, primarily due to accelerated pricing hikes followed by product mix improvement. OPEX was lower than expected (NT$691mn in 2Q26 vs. GSe at NT$747mn). For earnings, ITEQ's 2Q26 net income was 105%/71% higher than GSe/BBG consensus, mainly due to the GM expansion driven by better pricing.

Going into 3Q26, we expect the company's revenue growth and GM expansion to sustain

We expect a 26% QoQ revenue increase in 3Q26, given the sustained strong general server demand and a better product mix. We expect ITEQ to continue to bene fi t from CCL pricing hikes in 2H26, where price increases continue to be driven by rising material costs (including E-glass and RG/RTF copper foil). Moreover, we expect the company's GM level to improve to 23.7% (vs. 22.0% in 2Q26) as we believe the higher pricing and better product mix will continue to drive the margin improvement, despite rising materials costs and material shortages remain key risks.

Furthermore, ITEQ announced a new Rmb2.1bn (~NT$10.3bn) CAPEX plan for the Wuxi plant expansion , with spending to be phased over 2026-29. The expansion will add 2.85mn sheets/month of high-end capacity (M7 and above) throughout 2027-29E (~53% of capacity increase by 2029 end vs. current capacity of 5.4mn sheets/month). The expansion is mainly focused on high-end CCL products for new ASIC customers as well as supporting general server demand. Based on the newly announced CAPEX plan, the company also raised its 2026 CAPEX guidance to ~NT$4bn from NT$1.5-2bn (~129% upward revision from the midpoint), and expects 2027/28 CAPEX to reach ~NT$3.8bn/~NT$3bn.

ITEQ also announced its July revenue at NT$4,749mn (+13% MoM, +97% YoY), monthly revenue reaching another historical high, mainly driven by better pricing and the continued strength in general server demand. However, we continue to see pressure from rising material cost and potential material shortage despite the continuous pricing increase, while the revenue growth is tracking behind other CCL leaders (EMC and TUC, see here). For August, we expect revenue to rise by 3% MoM to NT$4,892mn (92% YoY), mainly driven by the improving ASP and sustained general server demand.

Investment view

We will continue to see solid revenue/pro fi tability for the company in 2H26, while low-end CCL price increase (1) continues to re fl ect material costs increase (especially E-glass, which has surged 80%+ in 1H26), and (2) supported by tightening low-end CCL supply, as some CCL suppliers continue to shift capacity toward high-end CCL (see here). We expect the low-end CCL price increase to sustain in 3Q26, but will decelerate from 4Q26 as E-glass shortage will gradually ease as consumer-related CCL demand (accounted for ~90% of E-glass demand per GSe) will enter the low season. Moreover, the low-end CCL industry remains weak and will likely only grow at 2% 2025-28E TAM CAGR, as consumer-related applications account for 50%+ of total low-end CCL demand (we expect smartphone to see -10%/3%/1% YoY growth and PC to see -14/-5/0% YoY growth in 2026-28E, see here and here). ITEQ's revenue growth should outperform (23% 2025-28E CAGR) overall low-end CCL industry TAM, but is still tracking slower than high-end CCL market growth (96% 2025-28E CAGR), where high-end CCL pricing is supported by strong AI demand and continuous supply shortage throughout 2026-28E.

We continue to expect a solid outlook for general servers (we now expect general server volume to increase by 14/6/6% YoY in 2026-28E, see here), which is the key driver for ITEQ's revenue growth since 2025. However, key CPU material shortages remain a key risk (we expect ABF substrate shortage ratio could reach 14/34/51% in 1H26/2027/2028, see here), which could result in slower product mix improvement for ITEQ.

For ITEQ's latest Wuxi plant expansion, this is primarily to serve new ASIC customers and for some general server CCL demand. However, we expect EMC to maintain a leading share for these clients (see here), as EMC maintains a technology leadership in high-end e92c7a75ab8b4efbba794e6b187208c8

CCL, and is also more proactive in high-end capacity expansion (with 3.15mn sheets/month of new capacity to be out in 2027, signi fi cantly ahead of ITEQ's planned 600k sheets/month capacity addition in 2027). Given ITEQ's relatively slower technology migration and continued focus on the mid- to low-end market, we believe it will take time for the company to gain meaningful share in the AI CCL market and see sustainable pro fi tability. 0.87 306% 1.16 204% 2.26 56%

Earnings revisions

We revise up our 2026 revenue and GM estimates to factor in 2Q26 results and better pricing environment. We revise up our 2027/28 revenue by 11/8% to factor in the latest capacity expansion plans. Moreover, we revise up our 2027/28E GM estimates by 0.2/0.8ppt to re fl ect improvement in product mix due to the new expansions. Overall, we revise up our 2026E earnings estimates by 73% due to better-than-expected general server demand, revise down our 2027E earnings estimates by 9% with a higher tax rate assumption, and revise up our 2028E earnings estimates by 4% with more contribution from the new capacity.

Also, we introduce our 2029 estimates within this report.

Investment Thesis & PT methodology and risks

ITEQ is a key high-end CCL player, mainly focused on the server market (15-20% global share as of 2024). While we are positive on its long-term outlook given promising growth in the server CCL and automotive high-speed CCL markets, we continue to see a weaker than peer revenue/pro fi tability outlook, considering the company's lagging technology. Further, we believe the mid- to low-end CCL market oversupply issue will continue in the coming years, weighing on ITEQ's pro fi tability in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, the company is trading at a 2026E P/E that is much higher than the average peak valuation and Taiwan peers. We are Sell rated on the stock. Key upside risks: (1) stronger-than-expected demand from server/switch segments in the coming years; (2) stronger-than-expected CCL pricing hikes in the coming quarters without component cost increases; and (3) stronger-than-expected 5G BTS demand globally in the coming quarters.

Valuation methodology: Our 12m TP of NT$134 is based on a 4Q26E-3Q27E P/E multiple of 13.5x (-0.5x s.d. lower than past 10-year average valuation).

Key upside risks: (1) stronger-than-expected demand from server/switch segments in the coming years; (2) stronger-than-expected CCL pricing hikes in the coming quarters without component cost increases; and (3) stronger-than-expected 5G BTS demand globally in the coming quarters.
