Asia Pac Wire &Cable ( (APWC) ) has issued an update.
Asia Pacific Wire & Cable reported first-quarter 2026 results on May 14, 2026, showing revenue of $130.8 million, up 30% year over year but down 2% sequentially, and earnings per share of $0.05, up 171% from a year earlier yet 71% lower than the prior quarter. Growth was broad-based across North Asia, Thailand and the rest of the world, supported by higher copper prices, a favorable product mix and a recovery in Australia, while gross margin expanded to 8.2% and operating profit swung sharply higher from a loss a year ago.
Segmently, Thailand led with 41% year-over-year revenue growth and North Asia rose 26%, while rest-of-world sales climbed 23% annually but fell sequentially due to project timing, and copper tonnage sold increased 5% from a year earlier. The company’s balance sheet strengthened as cash rose to $73.2 million, largely from a $34.1 million rights offering, operating cash flow turned positive, and a $1.0 million one-time investment gain and stable inventories highlighted improving financial flexibility despite higher selling, general and administrative expenses tied to research and development and sales efforts.
Spark’s Take on APWC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, APWC is a Neutral.
The score is held back mainly by weak financial performance: thin margins and notably inconsistent operating/free cash flow (negative again in 2025), despite an improved leverage profile. Technicals are moderately constructive in the near term (above 20/50-DMA with positive MACD) but still below longer-term averages, while valuation is somewhat supportive with a low P/E.
