How did each business segment (PC, gaming, peripherals, services) contribute to the revenue decline?
Answer
The Acer press release you referenced provides only the headline‑level figures for July 2025 and the year‑to‑July period:
| Metric | Amount (NT$) | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| July 2025 consolidated revenue | 22.06 billion | ‑5.9 % |
| Year‑to‑July 2025 consolidated revenue | 149.93 billion | flat‑to‑slightly down |
The release attributes the July decline primarily to foreign‑exchange effects (the NT$‑denominated revenue fell even though the same amount expressed in U.S. dollars rose 4.8 % YoY).
What the release does not disclose
The article you quoted does not contain a breakdown of how each of Acer’s four primary business segments performed:
| Segment | Reported revenue change (¥/USD) | Comments in release |
|---|---|---|
| PC (desktop + notebook) | – | No figures or qualitative comment |
| Gaming | – | No figures or qualitative comment |
| Peripherals (monitors, accessories, etc.) | – | No figures or qualitative comment |
| Services (managed services, cloud, warranty, etc.) | – | No figures or qualitative comment |
Because the press release does not list segment‑level numbers, we cannot quantify the exact contribution of each segment to the overall 5.9 % decline.
What can be inferred (and what cannot)
- Foreign‑exchange impact: The note that revenue fell “due to foreign exchange factors” tells us that the decline is largely a currency translation effect rather than a pure drop in unit sales or pricing. This effect would apply to all segments proportionally to the amount of revenue they generate in foreign currencies.
- No segment‑specific decline mentioned: If a particular segment
