MediaTek's performance in the fourth quarter of last year was in line with expectations.

Billions of dollars, therefore, this quarter's revenue due to weak mobile phone demand, coupled with the traditional off-season effect of working days, revenue will be reduced by more than 15%.

Although the whole year is optimistic about new products such as P90 chips, the legal person also expects that MediaTek can maintain market share in 4G APs, but mobile phone customers still conservatively view market demand. It is estimated that AP shipments this year will fall by 5-10% compared with last year, and new business For example, AI and car chips have contributed little to the performance this year. It is estimated that MediaTek's annual revenue may have a single-digit decline compared to 2018, and the profit is the same as last year.
