Taiwan-based notebook maker Pegatron Technology, the spun-off manufacturing arm of Asustek Computer, has reportedly landed desktop orders from Apple, according to sources from market watchers.
The sources noted that Pegatron's major objective currently is to retrieve its lost Apple MacBook orders and if the rumors about Pegatron landing desktop orders is true then Pegatron is one step closer to achieving its goal.
Due to declining orders from Asustek, Pegatron's revenues dropped slightly by 3.1% on month and 19% on year to only NT$31.61 billion (US$986.55 million) in June, while second-quarter revenues also dropped 3.5% sequentially; however, the company's revenues in the first half still grew 20.4% on year and reached NT$208.02 billion.
In June, Pegatron shipped 1.5-1.6 million motherboards and desktops combined, 1.1-1.2 million notebooks, and 339,000 graphics and TV cards combined.
Pegatron recently approved plans to expand its treasury stock by buying back 75 million shares from July 12 to September 10 with a buy-back price set between NT$21.8-41, but the total amount will not exceed NT$66.2 billion.
