What changed
ATM set a revenue record and margins improved; LEAP remained a growth driver. Management kept a modest Q4 outlook, cited a more stable NT dollar, and plans further capacity investment.
Guidance delta
Maintained overall direction; Q4 guidance calls for 1–2% revenue growth, margin expansion, and 3–5% sequential ATM growth.
Key takeaways

- LEAP advanced packaging remained a core growth driver, with management targeting continued expansion.
- FX volatility still pressures margins, while management expects a more stable NT dollar in Q4.
- Capacity investment is rising for wafer probing, advanced packaging and testing, increasing execution and capital-allocation risk.
Management priorities
- Scale LEAP services and full-process CoWoS offerings.
- Expand wafer-probing and test capacity for AI chips.
- Evaluate US investment opportunities based on economic viability.
- Maintain capex momentum into 2026 to support leading-edge demand.
