Wistron (ISIN TW0003231007) approved NT$6.5 billion of additional capital expenditures for its Kaohsiung facility and NT$591.6 million for Hsinchu on October 12, 2026. The board also proposed acquiring a Tainan factory building for no more than NT$1.0 billion, according to Wistron.

Expansion follows faster revenue growth

The spending decision extends a capacity push tied to Wistron's server and artificial intelligence manufacturing business. The company reported September 2026 revenue of TWD 380.81 billion, up 87.19 percent from September 2025, while January through September revenue reached TWD 2.89 trillion, up 97.25 percent, according to EffectStory.

The latest quarterly result provides the operating baseline for the investment. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue was TWD 895.44 billion, 5.80 percent above the first quarter, while net income attributable to owners was TWD 14.83 billion, 54.00 percent higher quarter on quarter, and earnings per share reached TWD 4.72, according to EffectStory.

What does the expansion change?

The figures point to a capacity question rather than a simple demand story. Wistron's second-quarter net margin was 1.66 percent, calculated from TWD 14.83 billion of net income and TWD 895.44 billion of revenue. That leaves execution and utilization important as new equipment and facilities come online.
