Laster Tech (3346.TW) reported self-assessed August consolidated revenue of NT$779 million, approximately $24.7 million, up 28.36% from July and 9.59% from a year earlier. The result marked the company’s strongest monthly performance in nearly 16 months and its highest monthly revenue since May 2025, reversing the weakness seen in recent months. Revenue for the first eight months reached NT$4.999 billion, or approximately $158.7 million, still 12.76% below the same period last year, although the decline has narrowed substantially from the first half. The rebound was supported by stronger restocking from Tier 1 customers including HASCO Vision, Hella and Guangzhou Koito, as well as increasing production of new vehicle programs including Tesla’s affordable car and Xiaomi’s SUV. North American headlight controller shipments also remained steady. Laster Tech expects its Mexico plant to begin volume production and shipments in the second half of the year, with its Thailand plant also moving toward production. The company is separately developing AI robotics applications, with robot joint control modules already in small-volume shipment. Analysts say customer destocking is largely complete and new-model production could support further year-over-year improvement, but the automotive recovery still requires validation in coming months and robotics remains a limited near-term revenue contributor. The stock was NT$20.1 at 10:42 a.m., up 8.65%, with volume of 997 lots.
