GlobalWafers (環球晶, stock code 6488) recorded August 2026 revenue of NT$4,764,363 thousand, equivalent to roughly NT$4.764 billion (stated by the company as NT$47.64 billion in the original 億元 figure) CITE:E1. This represents growth of 7.61% compared with the same month last year CITE:E2, a figure the company also reported as 7.6% year-on-year growth CITE:E7. The August 2026 revenue figure was separately confirmed at NT$47.64 billion (億元) CITE:E5.
GlobalWafers' August 2026 revenue declined 4.3% from July 2026 CITE:E6. This month-on-month contraction occurred even as the same August revenue rose 7.61% versus the year-earlier period CITE:E2, meaning the year-on-year gain was driven by comparison against a weaker August 2025 base rather than sequential momentum.
GlobalWafers' cumulative revenue for January through August 2026 totaled NT$38,941,229 thousand CITE:E3, equivalent to the NT$389.41 billion (億元) figure the company reported CITE:E8.

What this means: GlobalWafers' August 2026 revenue grew 7.61% year-on-year, yet fell 4.3% from July, and the cumulative eight-month total remains 3.11% below the same period last year. The single-month year-on-year gain has not yet offset the cumulative year-on-year shortfall, and the sequential decline from July to August shows the monthly trend moving in the opposite direction from the annual comparison.

The headline number here is a split verdict: August revenue grew 7.61% year-on-year but fell 4.3% from July, while the eight-month cumulative total is still down 3.11% against 2025. That combination points to a recovery that shows up in year-on-year comparisons but has not yet produced sequential (month-over-month) momentum, and has not been enough to erase the year-to-date shortfall. The number worth watching next is September's month-on-month change — a return to sequential growth would signal the year-on-year gain is becoming a trend rather than a base-effect artifact, whereas another MoM decline would keep the cumulative -3.11% gap the more relevant read on GlobalWafers' 2026 trajectory.
