Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Growth in demand for AI servers and data centers against a backdrop of increased investment in AI infrastructure, strong performance in semiconductor packages, modules and memory, increased demand for connectors used in industrial equipment, and a significant increase in demand for lead frames used in data centers. On the other hand, demand for consumer equipment slowed due to soaring memory prices, while growth in automotive demand was limited by the US review of its electric vehicle policies and a slowdown in domestic demand in China.
