Taiwanese AI hardware suppliers remain confident in demand despite the US midterm elections, citing severe capacity shortages as the main constraint. Companies like King Yuan Electronics plan substantial US capacity expansions, while supply chain bottlenecks in equipment procurement are causing long lead times and cautious capacity commitments.
