CHPT Shareholders Approve NT$15.3 Dividend; Capacity Expansion to Meet AI Demand

Semiconductor test interface manufacturer Chunghwa Precision Test Tech (CHPT) held its shareholders' meeting today at its R&D headquarters in Pingzhen, Taoyuan. The meeting approved the 2025 earnings distribution plan, with a cash dividend of NT$15.3 per share, and successfully elected seven directors (including three independent directors). In response to the strong demand for high-end AI chip testing interfaces from the artificial intelligence industry, CHPT has launched a construction project for a third plant, which is expected to break ground in the first half of the year and be completed by 2028. CHPT previously estimated that this year's performance would show clear quarter-by-quarter growth. While production capacity is expected to double by the end of August, it is still expected to fall short of demand, and the company will continue to evaluate further expansion plans in the first half of 2027.
