Summary
MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai stated in the Q2 2026 earnings call that as supply chain costs rise across the board, the company is taking necessary price adjustments to reflect these cost increases in product pricing. Mobile business revenue fell 14% quarter-over-quarter and 20% year-over-year, mainly due to weak demand from rising smartphone material costs. The company expects global smartphone shipments to decline 15% in 2026.
