Price Objective Change

Raise PO on EMC, TUC and Shengyi 13 May 2026

We raise PO on EMC, TUC and Shengyi in this report, anticipating a lengthening under- Equity

S/D – supply/demandleads us to 1) expect 27% revenue QoQ growth in 2Q26; and 2) raise 2026-28E EPS by

9-10%. As such, we lift our PO to NT$6,100 (from NT$5,600), based on the same 34x

2H27-1H28E P/E. We reiterate our Buy rating on EMC, given its leading position in the

high-end CCL space, with structural demand boosts from AI (artificial intelligence)

server-related applications. Exhibit 1: Summary of PO changes
