What Happened
Operational Outlook: MA-tek Chairman Liu Chi-lun announced that the company is hitting new revenue records in August, driven by growth in AI and advanced process node analysis. The company remains optimistic about its 2027 outlook, with the first quarter of next year potentially marking a new profit peak.

MA-tek aims to ship two to three units by year-end and is currently negotiating patent licensing and joint development with several international industry leaders.
AI Market Expansion: Demand for MA-tek’s AI-focused testing zones is accelerating, with the third phase already contributing to revenue. The company is actively planning for the fourth and fifth phases to accommodate the rapid influx of research and development projects from major AI clients.
