Lite-On approved a TWD 8.85 billion capital-expenditure budget for its Kaohsiung branch on October 2, 2026, according to TradingView. Lite-On stock stood 9.30 percent below its TWD 328.00 52-week high on October 8, 2026.

Capex supports power expansion

The approved budget targets Lite-On's Kaohsiung branch and adds a concrete investment figure to the company's broader infrastructure strategy. The company website also highlights a US$919 million investment in McKinney, Texas, linking its manufacturing footprint to data-center and energy applications, per Lite-On.

That combination matters because the spending is aimed at capacity and operations rather than a purely financial measure. Lite-On describes products spanning power management, optoelectronics, networking, surveillance and automotive electronics.

Revenue keeps the comparison strong

Lite-On reported August 2026 revenue of TWD 19.6 billion, up 25.2 percent from August 2025, while revenue was 3.1 percent higher than in July, according to AlphaPort. The first-eight-month total reached TWD 134.7 billion, up 26.7 percent year over year.

The monthly comparison gives the capex decision a measurable operating backdrop. Revenue growth remains the clearest numerical support for Lite-On's investment in power and infrastructure capacity.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Lite-On Technology traded at TWD 297.50 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. TST, down TWD 2.50, or 0.83 percent, from the prior close of TWD 300.00. Its 52-week range was TWD 139.50 to TWD 328.00, and market capitalization was TWD 675.1 billion on the same date.

The reference point for investors is therefore the distance from the yearly high alongside the company's 25.2 percent August revenue growth. The business has a measurable growth signal, while the share price remains below its October 8 high-water mark.
