ASE Technology's stock surged 5.62% in pre-market trading, reflecting strong investor confidence driven by significant corporate developments.
The rally was fueled by a dual catalyst of major expansion and robust financial performance.

The project involves a total investment exceeding NT$108.3 billion (approximately US$3.3 billion) and is expected to generate annual revenue of approximately NT$177.3 billion at full capacity, while creating over 1,000 jobs.
Concurrently, ASE Technology reported impressive first-quarter results, with March consolidated net revenue reaching NT$61.58 billion, marking a 14.6% year-over-year increase. The company's core ATM (Assembly, Testing & Materials) segment showed particular strength, with Q1 revenue of NT$112.43 billion representing a 29.7% year-over-year increase.
