Overview
A major US-based outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider, ASE Technology's primary global competitor in advanced chip packaging — an increasingly critical bottleneck for AI chip supply. Amkor posted record Q1 2026 revenue of $1.68 billion (EPS beating estimates by 50%), with advanced packaging products supporting AI accelerators growing 29% year-over-year to $1.37 billion (81% of total sales); the company reiterated a $2.5-3.0 billion FY2026 capex budget, its most capital-intensive phase to date.
