PC slump hits Darfon, but MLCCs, green energy keep 2026 growth on track

Affected by weak notebook and PC demand, Darfon Electronics reported third-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of NT$7.011 billion (US$214 million), up 7.8% year-over-year but down about 6.7% quarter-over-quarter. The company said notebook and PC demand weakened after higher raw material and component costs pushed up end-product prices, dragging down its IT peripherals business, which accounts for about 40% of revenue. Although its green energy and integrated components businesses maintained year-over-year growth, they were not enough to offset the decline.
