ASE Technology reports third-quarter growth: ASE Technology stock sits 0.72 percent below its high

ASE Technology (ISIN US00215W1009) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 7.64 billion, up 34.90 percent year over year, while ASE Technology stock stood at EUR 41.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026, 0.72 percent below its EUR 41.60 52-week high. The revenue update was published on October 12, 2026, and the market is now weighing rapid growth against the next earnings milestone.

Third-quarter revenue accelerates

According to FT on October 12, 2026, unaudited consolidated revenue reached USD 7.64 billion in the third quarter, compared with USD 5.66 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Revenue also rose from USD 6.05 billion in the second quarter of 2026, a 26.30 percent sequential increase.

The September 2026 monthly figure added momentum: revenue was USD 2.78 billion, up 39.20 percent from USD 2.00 billion in September 2025. The assembly, testing and materials business generated USD 4.74 billion in third-quarter revenue, up 40.70 percent year over year, according to the same company announcement carried by FT.

What does the growth mean for margins?

ASE Technology's second-quarter 2026 operating profit was USD 21.13 billion in the reported financial data, equal to an 11.10 percent operating margin. The second-quarter revenue base was USD 191.06 billion in the same reported currency presentation, up 27.00 percent year over year, according to Financial Filings in its July 30, 2026 earnings-release coverage.

The margin question matters because the latest growth is concentrated in semiconductor assembly, testing and packaging, where capacity, pricing and utilization can alter profitability faster than revenue. The third-quarter revenue increase therefore gives investors a stronger operating signal than the monthly percentage alone, but it does not establish the final quarterly margin.

BofA raises its target

Markets Insider reported on October 12, 2026, that BofA raised its ASE Technology price target from USD 800 to USD 900 and maintained a Buy rating. The note linked the view to third-quarter sales that exceeded company guidance, with strength in integrated-circuit assembly and a ramp in the LEAP business.

The next scheduled reporting date is October 29, 2026, before the market opens, according to MarketBeat. Its estimate puts third-quarter earnings at USD 0.34 per share and revenue at USD 7.21 billion, creating a direct test of the strong revenue trajectory.

Stock stays near its yearly high

ASE Technology stock was at EUR 41.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026, at 11:01 a.m. CEST. That price was EUR 0.30 below the EUR 41.60 52-week high, a gap of 0.72 percent based on the same euro quotation.

For investors, the key issue is whether the third-quarter revenue acceleration converts into sustained operating leverage when ASE Technology reports. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of ASE Technology stock.
