Advantech Co., Taiwan’s leading industrial computer maker, reported a 25% jump in first-quarter revenue to NT$17.35 billion ($528 million), with net income surging 37% to NT$2.73 billion as the company’s Edge AI market expansion gains traction.
The industrial computing firm posted earnings per share of NT$3.17, maintaining a 40.5% gross margin and 16.9% operating margin. Advantech’s book-to-bill ratio reached 1.08, with Europe and China showing improved ratios of 1.10 and 1.07 respectively, while North America dipped slightly to 1.05.

Despite robust performance, Advantech cautioned that geopolitical tensions and tariff issues could affect order visibility and delivery times in coming quarters. The company says it has adjusted shipment structures and strengthened supply chain resilience to mitigate these uncertainties.
