MediaTek reported mixed April 2025 earnings, with monthly revenue dropping 13% to 台币48.75 billion ($1.5 billion) compared to March. Year-over-year sales, however, rose 16%, while cumulative January-April revenue hit 台币202.07 billion ($6.22 billion), up 15% from 2024.

　The chipmaker expects Q2 revenue to stay flat with Q1’s 台币147.2–159.4 billion ($4.53–4.9 billion), citing "market uncertainties" like longer production cycles. Still, gross margins are forecasted at 47% (±1.5%), with operating expenses around 29% (±2%).

　Long-term optimism stems from AI and custom chips (ASICs), set to boost revenue by 2026. Analysts note MediaTek’s edge in high-end smartphone processors, where its AI-powered designs could capture over 20% of Android flagship sales.

　Despite tariff concerns and a shaky second half, the company remains bullish on emerging sectors like automotive tech and AI-driven devices. “Short-term bumps won’t derail our momentum,” a spokesperson hinted, pointing to R&D bets on next-gen silicon.

　No pricing details for new chips were shared, but with rivals scrambling, MediaTek’s gamble on AI might just pay off—if the tech lives up to the hype.
