Realtek sees broad 2026 growth despite cost pressure and uneven demand

Taiwanese IC design house Realtek said on July 29 that it expects all of its product lines to grow year-on-year in 2026, even as tight supply in memory, substrates, and mature-node manufacturing continues to weigh on costs. The company said pricing actions, product mix improvements, and demand in automotive, networking, and AI-related applications should help offset margin pressure.
