MediaTek (ISIN TW0002454006) is heading toward its October 30 results after Citi reaffirmed a Buy rating and set a TWD 6,800 target on October 22, 2026, according to TechNews. The call puts MediaTek's data-center strategy alongside its established mobile-chip business.
Citi raises the AI stakes
Citi's TWD 6,800 target rests on stronger AI application-specific integrated circuit demand, improved product mix and an expected acceleration in fourth-quarter revenue, as reported by TechNews on October 22, 2026. The same report said Citi expects MediaTek's 2026 AI ASIC revenue to exceed USD 2.00 billion.
Three milestones shape the story
On October 8, 2026, MediaTek posted third-quarter revenue of TWD 168.06 billion, up 10.43 percent from the prior quarter and 18.27 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to C114. On October 9, 2026, DBS Bank initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a TWD 6,200 target, according to MarketScreener. Citi's TWD 6,800 target followed on October 22, 2026.
What does the target mean for growth?
The central test is whether the new AI business can offset the uneven smartphone cycle. C114 reported that MediaTek's first data-center AI accelerator is slated for mass production in the fourth quarter of 2026 and that data-center revenue is expected to exceed USD 2.00 billion for the year. The opportunity is material, but execution and customer adoption remain the operating variables.
The next reporting date is October 30
MediaTek's investor notice dated October 16, 2026 scheduled the 2026 third-quarter financial presentation for October 30, 2026, with fourth-quarter guidance due at the same event, according to MediaTek. That date should clarify how much of the reported revenue strength is repeatable.
