Yageo's Q2 revenue exceeded expectations due to rising demand for high-end MLCCs and tantalum capacitors, which are critical components for AI servers.

AI server demand is directly translating into pricing power and increased capacity utilization for passive component suppliers, tightening the supply chain for critical hardware.
