Insights

Financial Analyst

ChipMOS's Q3 2024 results show mixed signals. The 8.7% YoY revenue increase to NT$6,068.0 million (US$191.7 million) is positive, indicating overall growth. However, the 1.2% YoY decrease in September 2024 revenue suggests some softening in the most recent month.

The company's DDIC (Display Driver IC) business is performing well, driving healthy supply and demand. This is important as DDIC is a key segment in the semiconductor industry, particularly for display technologies.

The 4.4% QoQ increase in Q3 revenue compared to Q2 2024 shows sequential improvement, which is encouraging. However, the 10.7% MoM decrease from August to September 2024 warrants attention, as it could indicate a potential slowdown if the trend continues.

For investors, these results suggest ChipMOS is maintaining growth in a challenging semiconductor market, but with some signs of potential headwinds. The company's performance relative to the broader OSAT industry and its ability to sustain growth in its DDIC segment will be key factors to watch in the coming quarters.
