The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.During the interim period, revenue increased as a result of a significant rise in average selling prices driven by strong demand from data centers, primarily for generative AI applications, higher shipment volumes and improved foreign exchange rates. For the third quarter, although demand from data centers is expected to remain strong, the company anticipates adverse foreign exchange movements and therefore expects earnings to remain at the same level as in the second quarter.
