Largan Precision Co Ltd (大立光), which supplies camera lens modules for Apple Inc’s iPhones, yesterday posted a deeper-than-expected 37 percent decline in revenue for last quarter from the previous quarter — to NT$10.57 billion (US$337.7 million) — on seasonally weak demand.

That was despite a strong increase of 50 percent in revenue last month to NT$3.92 billion, from February’s NT$2.62 billion, after customers began shipping new products, according to Largan’s filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

In the fourth quarter of last year, Largan generated NT$16.89 billion in revenue.     [FULL  STORY]
