The main board market has been well-known in recent years. However, with a wave of mining boom, there are still people who have earned a lot of money.
In 2017, ASRock achieved a net profit of 469 million Taiwan dollars, a return of 4.02 Taiwan dollars per share, a record high for three years. With stable income, ASRock expects US revenues of up to 6 Taiwan dollars in 2018.
In the first quarter of 2018, ASRock achieved a revenue of 2.636 billion TWD, an increase of 33.9% year-on-year, an increase of 3.1% from the previous month, and a net profit of 189 million TWD soared by 60% from the previous quarter, more than double the year-earlier period, and its earnings per share also reached The quarterly high of 1.56 Taiwan dollars over the past four years.
ASRock can have such a dazzling performance. A major driving force is the strong shipments of mining boards. In addition, the server orders from US customers are very stable. The profits of industrial PCs are also very stable.
Although the mining boom began to decline from April, the overall sales of PCs are also in general. However, ASRock's revenue and profit in the second quarter are expected to remain flat year-on-year, mainly due to the high selling price and high interest rates of high-end motherboards.
In addition to seeing the timing of mining, ASRock has been rewarded with five years of hard work in industrial PCs, servers, and barebones.
Currently, the motherboard business has fallen to 70% of ASRock's total revenue. In 2018, shipments of motherboards are expected to surpass 4 million. In addition, server business revenue accounts for about 15%, and industrial PCs account for 10%.
ASRock has begun to make AMD graphics cards, and contributed 5% of revenue in April. If the next video card performance exceeds expectations, it will also bring greater push to the company's performance.
