Taiwan's Asustek Computer Inc., the world's largest motherboard maker by shipments, posted Wednesday its lowest quarterly net profit in eight quarters for the April-June period.
The company said at an investors' conference that its net profit in the three months to June came in at 5.64 billion Taiwan dollars (183 million US), down 17.6 percent from 6.85 billion in the same period a year earlier.
The result, Asustek's lowest since the second quarter of 2006's 2.9 billion Taiwan dollars, missed the average 5.99 billion forecast of five analysts surveyed earlier by Dow Jones Newswires.
Asustek said it expects shipments of Eee PCs, its popular low-cost notebooks, to soar more than 50 percent in the three months to September.
Shipments of its conventional notebook lines will likely grow more than 30 percent in the third quarter, it said.
