ASE Technology will purchase WIN Semiconductors(稳懋半导体)’ factory and ancillary facilities in Luzhu District, Kaohsiung, for NT$6.5 billion (approximately RMB 1.56 billion). ASE Technology Investment Holding stated that this move aims to expand advanced packaging production capacity to meet growing market demand in areas such as AI and high-speed computing.

WIN Semiconductors(稳懋半导体) expects to realize approximately NT$1.939 billion in profit from the transaction, or approximately NT$4.57 in pre-tax earnings per share, with related gains expected to be recognized as early as the end of 2024.
