E Ink, a prominent manufacturer of electronic paper displays, announced record-breaking financial results for the first half of 2026. The company achieved its highest-ever revenue, operating profit, and net profit during this period, with earnings per share (EPS) standing at NT$5.65. This strong performance was bolstered by the consistent development of its core e-paper business and a significant boost from foreign exchange gains.
In the second quarter alone, E Ink reported consolidated revenue of NT$10.22 billion, a 4% decrease year-on-year. However, net profit attributable to the parent company surged by 26% to NT$3.73 billion, resulting in an EPS of NT$3.23 for the quarter. For the entire first half, consolidated revenue increased by 1% year-on-year to NT$18.85 billion, with operating profit margin at 34% and net profit growing 26% to NT$6.52 billion.
Looking towards the second half of the year, E Ink projects continued steady growth across its e-paper business segments. The demand for electronic shelf labels (ESLs) within Internet of Things (IoT) applications remains robust, and the electronic paper signage business is also meeting growth expectations. However, the company noted that demand in consumer product applications has seen a temporary slowdown due to rising memory costs.
E Ink is also benefiting from increased capital expenditure by semiconductor packaging and testing plants, which are significant clients. As these clients expand their advanced packaging, testing, and overseas production capacities, the demand for E Ink's verification, analysis, and testing services is expected to rise. The company has established a presence in Malaysia and Singapore to support these clients' expansion into Southeast Asia.
