Qisda's Q2 earnings witness a 7.2% upward trend
In the second quarter of 2021, Qisda Corporation, a leading player in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, experienced an increase in sales, as did the networking and communications sector. However, the Taiwanese company did not publicly report detailed breakdowns of its revenue growth by specific business sectors for Q2 2021.
Historically, Qisda and its subsidiaries have operated across several sectors, including display and monitor products, embedded systems and industrial PCs, other technology solutions, and medical applications. One of Qisda's subsidiaries, DFI, focuses on industrial automation, defense, smart cities, and networking solutions.
The impact of tariffs on Qisda's production and capacity in Q2 2021 was not directly disclosed. However, based on industry trends and Qisda's business model, which often involves global supply chains, tariffs can potentially increase production costs, affect pricing competitiveness in export markets, and disrupt supply chains, leading to underutilization or the need to adjust production schedules.
Despite the lack of detailed sectoral breakdowns for Q2 2021, Qisda's recent performance suggests an ability to adapt to external pressures such as tariffs. The company's resilience and growth were highlighted in recent reports, with consolidated revenue up 7.75% year-over-year in June 2025 and accumulated revenue growth of 6.65% for the first half of the year.
Qisda has leveraged its R&D and production scale, particularly through DFI, to remain competitive and adapt to market changes, which likely helps mitigate the impact of tariffs or trade barriers. The company is considering expanding capacity at its Ha Nam plant in Vietnam due to the recent US-Vietnam trade deal, which could lead to a reduction in tariffs on Vietnamese goods from 46% to 20%.
The increase in revenue was mainly due to rising sales in the business solutions and medical applications sectors. The medical applications division, which delivers the highest gross margin among Qisda's product lines, primarily sells to Asian customers. The networking and communications division was boosted by rising sales in data center switches by its subsidiary Alpha Networks Inc.
In conclusion, while Qisda has not provided detailed sectoral breakdowns for Q2 2021, its current growth and strategic moves—like leveraging DFI’s industrial automation and embedded systems—suggest an ability to adapt to external pressures such as tariffs, focusing on cost-competitive manufacturing and expanding into high-growth sectors. Qisda's major production bases are in Taiwan, China, Vietnam, with some assembly lines in California and Mexico. The company aims to triple production by the end of the year.
Qisda Corporation, with its subsidiaries focused on various sectors such as technology solutions, has shown an ability to adapt to external pressures like tariffs. For instance, the company's medical applications division, which delivers the highest gross margin, primarily sells to Asian customers. Moreover, Qisda's expansion into high-growth business sectors, like industrial automation and embedded systems, indicates a strategic move to counteract potential cost increases due to tariffs in the technology sector.
