A Taiwan-based PCB and semiconductor automation equipment maker, Symtek Automation Asia Co., Ltd. (SAA, 6438.TW), reported second-quarter 2025 revenue of NT$1.631 billion, up 30.56% year-on-year, with net income rising 61.9% to NT$141 million and EPS of NT$1.72. Both revenue and profit outpaced the previous quarter and the same period in 2024.

Gross margin reached 27.3%, up 3.32 percentage points from the prior quarter but down 0.69 points from a year earlier, as PCB business margins faced pricing pressure from Chinese competitors. Stronger contributions from the semiconductor segment helped maintain healthy profitability.

Looking ahead, analysts expect Q3 revenue and earnings to improve further, supported by ongoing expansion in advanced packaging, rising demand from PCB customers in Southeast Asia, and new product sales. SAA has secured advanced packaging automation orders from a leading wafer foundry across multiple fabs (AP5–AP8) and continues to win business from major OSAT providers. Semiconductor-related revenue, including ABF substrate equipment, accounted for over 40% of first-half sales and is projected to exceed 50% for the full year.

In Q3, the company also launched an overhead hoist transport (OHT) system, initially targeting PCB and packaging applications, which could provide a new growth driver. With product mix optimization and steady semiconductor momentum, SAA is expected to achieve double-digit revenue growth in 2025 and deliver earnings above last year's level.
