Asustek leads motherboard makers in 1Q EPS

By

Major Taiwan-based motherboard makers recently announced their financial results for the first quarter of 2007 with Asustek leading Micro-Star International (MSI), Gigabyte Technology and Elitegroup Computer System (ECS) in terms of earnings per share (EPS).

Asustek performed the best among the top four motherboard makers in the first quarter of 2007 with a net profit after tax amounting to NT$6.73 billion (US$30 million), translating into an EPS of NT$1.97. Since electronic manufacturing services (EMS) accounted for a large proportion of orders in the first quarter, the company found it hard to increase revenues substantially, noted sources at Asustek, adding that with the portion of EMS orders to drop in the second quarter, the company is confident about its revenue outlook in the second quarter.
