Pegatron chairman TH Tung said the company is seeing improvements in operations and expects to achieve better profits in 2014 compared to 2013.
Tung pointed out that the PC industry has been significantly impacted by tablets for the past two years, but the situation has started improving recently as tablets and notebooks have both found their appropriate market positions. Tung believes that the PC market will see a better recovery in the second half of 2014 than in the first.
Pegatron is also set to raise its employee salaries by 4-7% in 2014, double the percentages of 2-3.5% in 2013. |
