Passive component leader Yageo has全面 raised the prices of capacitor products, and on the same day, a breach of contract case involving 38.8 million New Taiwan dollars was revealed
According to Taiwan's Economic Daily, passive component leader Yageo has notified customers that starting from July 1, it will comprehensively increase the prices of its entire line of capacitor solutions, covering MLCC, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, and polymer aluminum capacitors, marking the largest increase in recent years. Industry insiders pointed out that this move mainly reflects the continuous rise in global manufacturing costs due to geopolitical factors, energy, raw materials, and international freight rates. As capacitor products account for about 50% of Yageo's revenue, the market expects this round of price increases to significantly boost its revenue and profits.Driven by strong demand for AI servers and automotive electronics, Yageo's stock price hit the daily limit yesterday, reaching 1,140 New Taiwan Dollars. However, due to recent volatility in the Taiwan stock market, the market reported a significant default settlement event involving Yageo's stock last night, with a total declared amount of 38.8 million New Taiwan Dollars, marking the 15th major default settlement case accumulated in Taiwan's listed market this year.
