Wistron shipped 1.1 million notebooks, 800,000 desktops, 500,000 monitors, 300,000 LCD TVs and 130,000 servers in February, while fellow maker Inventec shipped 1.25 million IT devices including notebooks and all-in-one PCs, in the month, up from 1.2 million units in January.

Wistron's notebook shipments in February were flat compared to January's. But it expects its March notebook shipments to increase by a few hundred thousand units or a double-digit percentage from a month ago. The company's shipments in the first quarter are expected to be inferior than the same quarter a year ago, but shipments in 2016 will be flat from 2015.

Inventec's notebook shipments are expected to grow in March and its non-PC product shipments are also expected to perform strongly thanks to smartphone orders from China-based Xiaomi.

As for revenues, Wistron had NT$40.84 billion (US$1.24 billion) for February, down 2.12% on month and 10.06% on year, while Inventec had NT$28.77 billion, down 4.42% on month, but up 12.28% on year.

Wistron will host a web investor conference on March 25.
