Apple is set to announce its fiscal second-quarter earnings on May 1 (Pacific Time). Analysts anticipate the company will hit revenue targets, supported by stronger-than-expected iPhone sales and steady demand for MacBooks and iPads. However, rising geopolitical tensions and seasonal softness are casting a shadow over its near-term outlook.

Etron Technology is making bold moves into the burgeoning edge AI market with the launch of its AI vision solution, eYs3D, under its subsidiary eYs3D Microelectronics. The solution has already secured 12 customers, including a major Taiwanese parking lot operator, with expectations that over a thousand parking lots will adopt the technology by the second half of this year. This growing demand is set to fuel Etron's growth trajectory through 2026. Additionally, its other subsidiary, DeCloak, has unveiled new applications for its robot dog technology, integrating AI-powered privacy systems into military and law enforcement operations, with orders already overflowing into the year-end.
