Yi Zhang Achieves Record-High Gross Margin of 27.59% in First Half of 2026, EPS Reaches NT$3.94

Global commercial storage equipment manufacturer Yi Zhang (8342-TW) announced its latest financial results for 2026 today (10th). In the first half of 2026, the company achieved a gross margin of 27.59%, benefiting from sustained strong shipments and effective cost management, marking a new record high for the same period in history. Post-tax net profit reached NT$132 million, a year-on-year increase of 67.44%, with earnings per share (EPS) reaching NT$3.94.

Yi Zhang's Q2 2026 revenue was NT$443 million, with a gross margin of 28.96%, up 2.99 percentage points quarter-on-quarter and 1.95 percentage points year-on-year. Quarterly post-tax net profit reached NT$83.39 million, increasing 71.57% quarter-on-quarter and 2.23 times year-on-year, with EPS reaching NT$2.49.

In the first half of 2026, Yi Zhang recorded revenue of NT$819 million, with a gross margin of 27.59%, the highest in the same period historically, up 0.47 percentage points year-on-year. Post-tax net profit was NT$132 million, up 67.44% year-on-year, with EPS reaching NT$3.94.

Company executives noted that first-half 2026 revenue increased 5.4% year-on-year, primarily driven by higher shipments to North America, continued growth in special metal material shipments, and contributions from the domestic self-branded 'OGEE Mobile Storage' series.

In recent years, Yi Zhang has deepened its focus on the commercial storage equipment sector, benefiting from increased U.S. manufacturing infrastructure demand. The growth of higher-value special metal materials and self-branded product lines enabled the company to achieve simultaneous growth in both revenue and gross margin during the first half.

Looking ahead to the second half, with ongoing product mix optimization, raw material inventory secured at relatively low cost levels, and the New Taiwan Dollar exchange rate remaining stable, the company maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for operations.

Yi Zhang stated that it has maintained strong long-term partnerships with key customers and a deep understanding of their functional needs, enabling steady operational growth. The self-branded product series has been adopted by domestic semiconductor packaging and testing leaders, financial institutions, medical facilities, and transportation sectors. The company believes that through customized solutions and comprehensive service offerings, it can expand into more industry applications.
