Global semiconductor assembly and testing leader ASE Technology Holding announced on Thursday that it anticipates its advanced packaging business will double in scale by 2026, reaching $3.2 billion.

The projection was made by Chief Operating Officer Tien Wu during the company's quarterly earnings call. Financial results revealed fourth-quarter revenue reached NT$177.9 billion (approximately $5.62 billion), a 9.6% increase year-over-year, while net profit surged 58% compared to the same period last year.

A key subsidiary of ASE, Siliconware Precision, serves as a primary packaging provider for NVIDIA's artificial intelligence chips.

Chief Financial Officer Joseph Tung stated that the company plans to increase its equipment capital expenditure by $1.5 billion this year, on top of the $3.4 billion spent last year. Meanwhile, investments in plants and facilities are expected to remain near last year's level of approximately $2.1 billion.

Tung added, "We will continue to ramp up capital expenditures to support the strong business outlook for 2026 and beyond."
