In this article:

ASE Technology Holding ASX is scheduled to report its first-quarter 2023 results on Apr 27.

ASE expects ATM segment revenues between flat and high-single digits year over year.

Factors to Note

The ATM segment’s first-quarter revenues are likely to reflect solid momentum across all product categories (wire bond and advanced packaging, test solutions, consumer, communications, and computing). Its first-quarter 2023 gross margin is expected to have grown 18.6% from its second-quarter 2019 gross margin.

ASE’s building infrastructure expansion and smart manufacturing are expected to have been positive in the quarter under review.

The company’s continuous investments in geographical expansion are likely to have aided it in acquiring customers. This is anticipated to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

Further, ASE’s global footprint in the current geopolitical environment is likely to have benefited the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, continued pandemic-led supply-chain disruptions across supplies and components are anticipated to have acted as headwinds in the to-be-reported quarter.
