Gross margin is expected at 12.0% to 12.5%, up from the previously guided 10.4% to 10.8%.
The company attributes the beat mainly to higher demand for AI platforms, while the margin gain reflects a shift in customer and product mix toward higher-margin offerings. The figures are preliminary, unaudited and subject to revision. Final results and an earnings call are scheduled for November 3, 2026. The release does not provide operating income, net income or adjusted diluted EPS.
