The company attributed the upward revision to robust first-quarter order intake exceeding initial assumptions, coupled with accelerating demand in electronic components and semiconductor-related markets fueled by artificial intelligence investment. The revision also reflects advance orders incorporating anticipated raw material price increases. However, management expects demand normalization from the third quarter onward and has factored in margin pressure from elevated raw material costs, signaling a cautious outlook for the second half.
The revision underscores near-term momentum in AI-driven semiconductor demand but reflects management’s prudent stance on sustainability. Investors should monitor third-quarter results closely for signs of the anticipated demand adjustment and any further raw material cost pressures that could constrain profitability in coming quarters.
