Bloomberg reported on October 14, 2026 that MediaTek (ISIN TW0002454006) was in advanced talks with ByteDance to supply customized data-center chips.

The same report said September revenue was TWD 55.40 billion, down 13.69 percent from August but up 1.97 percent year over year.

What does AI add to revenue?

MediaTek expects its first data-center AI accelerator ASIC to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2026 and targets more than USD 2.00 billion in data-center revenue during 2026. The company is also targeting a 15.00 percent to 20.00 percent share of an USD 80.00 billion serviceable market in 2027, according to EffectStory. Those targets give the ByteDance talks strategic importance, but they do not yet establish contract revenue.

Next dates for MediaTek

MediaTek's investor-relations calendar lists its October 2026 monthly sales update for November 10, 2026, while the first data-center AI accelerator is scheduled for mass production in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to MediaTek. These dates provide the next checkpoints for sales momentum and the AI expansion.

MediaTek was last at TWD 4,165 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 15, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. CST. Its market capitalization was TWD 6.6 trillion on the same date. The figures place the revenue beat and the ByteDance talks against a company already valued at a large scale, making execution on data-center targets the central test.
