Phison has posted record breaking financial results for the second quarter. The Taiwan based flash controller maker reported revenue of NT$ 67.888 billion (approximately $2.11 billion) and net profits of NT$ 26.219 billion (approximately $814.7 million), both setting single quarter highs. Shareholders will benefit directly as the company approved a historic H1 cash dividend of NT$ 60 (approximately $1.86) per share.
The financial surge represents a massive 65.7% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 279.5% jump from the same period last year. Gross margins climbed to 65.3% while operating margins reached 38.8%. These figures represent the highest single quarter performance in the history of the company. This brings total H1 revenue to NT$ 108.855 billion (approximately $3.38 billion), with total profits reaching NT$ 41.394 billion (approximately $1.29 billion). The earnings per share for the first half of the year reached NT$ 187.43 (approximately $5.83), earning the company more than 11 times its capital stock in a single quarter.
With profits soaring, the board of directors decided to pass these gains directly to investors. The payout ratio sits at roughly 32% for the first half of the year, setting a new record for both individual dividend value and total payout volume. Phison management pointed out that the current boom in artificial intelligence inference is fueling massive demand for structural storage. To stay ahead of competitors, the company is accelerating its footprint in enterprise solid state drives, AI storage, and machine learning infrastructure platforms.
