Hon reported 2Q26 results and hosted an analyst meeting on 30 July. GM at 56.1% was

broadly in line with our and Bloomberg consensus estimates (Fig.1), while OPM was

lower at 48.5% due to one-off expense from the transfer of treasury shares to employees. Research Analysts

We view our 2026-28F operating assumptions intact and thus maintain 2026-28F EPS Semiconductor

estimates and our target price of TWD11,100, based on 40x average 2027-28F EPS of Eric Chen, CFA - NITB

TWD277. The stock is currently trading at 26x 2027F EPS of TWD219, which we believe eric.chen@nomura.com

is attractive after a 32% correction from the peak in late May (vs. TAIEX down 11%) and +886(2) 21769965

the overall AI/HPC semi testing structural growth story remains intact (see our Anchor Aaron Jeng, CFA - NITB

Report). Maintain Buy. aaron.jeng@nomura.com

CSP’s next-generation TPU slated for production in 2H27-2028 which might bring the

thermal requirement to ~10kW, with CPU+TPU under test simultaneously. Also,

management noted it is still working on the engineering of an SLT handler for a US GPU
