- Wistron stock jumped about 5% in early trading on strong shipments from its new US plant.
- Big North American cloud companies posted solid quarterly results, which the market read as a good sign for the manufacturers building their servers.
- Wistron expects AI server business to grow in the second half, with some orders already visible into 2027.
- New enterprise and cloud customers are signing on, some starting with Nvidia's GB platform.
