1Q26 Outlook
▪ Stainless Steel Business
-
In Taiwan, the stainless steel market is expected to experience a meaningful recovery, supported by the sharp rise in metal raw material prices and China’s export controls. .
-
In China, steel capacity restrictions under the government’s “anti-involution” policy, together with rising nickel prices, have driven customer inventory restocking. However, overall manufacturing momentum remains weak, and end-user demand still warrants monitoring.
-
In Europe, the EU will implement CBAM in 2026 and has introduced new steel safeguard measures. The related benefits have gradually begun to emerge since the beginning of the year and are expected to become more pronounced from mid-year onward.
-
Overall, as global supply chains continue shifting from globalization to regionalization, Walsin’s strategic footprint across Europe and Asia provides a competitive advantage.
▪ Resource Business
- Indonesia’s tightening of nickel ore policies has constrained nickel pig iron (NPI) production, driving up both nickel and NPI prices. However, given the ongoing policy adjustments in Indonesia, nickel price volatility is expected to increase going forward.
▪ Wire and Cable Business
- Cable shipments have grown steadily, supported by Taipower’s Grid Resilience Strengthening Construction Plan. Residential wiring demand has softened amid the cooling housing market, while AI-related industrial projects have boosted construction wire demand. However, due to the Lunar New Year holiday, first-quarter shipment volume is expected to be slightly lower than that of the fourth quarter.
