Regarding the outlook for the fourth quarter, MediaTek also expects revenue from flagship smartphones, GB10 projects, and automotive chips to grow in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter. The growth of these businesses is expected to offset the seasonal revenue decline of consumer electronics products in the fourth quarter.

As for the full-year outlook for 2025, based on the midpoint of the fourth-quarter revenue target, the full-year revenue is expected to reach a new high, reaching a scale of more than 19 billion US dollars, of which flagship smartphone revenue in 2025 is expected to exceed 3 billion US dollars, with an annual growth rate of more than 40%. There will continue to be good growth opportunities in 2026. In the face of tight production capacity, prices will be strategically adjusted and production capacity will be allocated to various product lines to reflect rising manufacturing costs.
