June pricing appears steady, driven by pull-in demand

In June, panel ASPs across most applications/sizes are likely to remain largely flat MoM,

slightly better than our prior expectation of softening. Demand seems to be holding up

more steadily than expected, supported by ongoing pull-in orders. Notably, monitor ASPs

may still edge higher, albeit with a narrower hike, as higher component costs—including

but not limited to ICs—continue to be reflected in pricing. Overall, pricing resilience

suggests effective supply discipline and improved cost pass through mechanisms.
