Morgan Stanley reaffirmed its constructive stance on Wistron Corporation (3231.TW) following management discussions at the 2026 Asia AI Summit. The report highlights Wistron's robust growth trajectory in AI servers, with revenue from this segment expected to increase by over 50 percent year-over-year in 2026. AI server revenue already accounted for more than half of total server revenue in the first quarter, and management projects further upside for the full year.
The company is maintaining its capital expenditure plan, primarily directed toward expanding AI server capacity. Liquid cooling solution penetration is anticipated to rise, and Wistron has developed the necessary technical capabilities to capture this shift. Additionally, its GPU substrate business is benefiting from the transition to new platforms. General server demand is also recovering, adding supplementary growth.
Wistron's expansion across Southeast Asia is progressing smoothly, helping to mitigate geographic concentration risk. Management noted that AI servers command healthier gross margins compared to legacy server products. The outlook for the second half of 2026 appears increasingly positive as new customer projects ramp up. The report does not specify an exact rating or target price but emphasizes strong structural momentum supported by technology leadership and capacity expansion.
