AUO (AUOTY) News Today

AUO Co. (OTC: AUOTY) shares moved today as investors digested a range of U.S. auto‐sector policy shifts and industry data that could influence demand for the company’s automotive display panels.

• U.S. determination that auto tariffs are not “safeguard” measures—and thus unlikely to trigger new WTO disputes with India—lowers near‐term risk of fresh import levies on vehicles, supporting stable display orders. (LiveMint)
• Thai central bank plans to bring non‐bank auto‐leasing firms under supervision, which may stabilize financing conditions without materially altering vehicle sales growth. (MSN)
• Moves to roll back California’s auto emissions standards could prolong conventional vehicle production volumes, sustaining demand for dashboard and infotainment screens. (MSN)
• Industry reports on auto insurers shifting focus from survival to service—and a potential buyers’ market in 2025—are unlikely to directly affect display module demand. (ConsumerAffairs; MSN)
• President Trump’s statements hinting at higher auto tariffs in the near future raise concerns over increased costs and reduced U.S. vehicle output, potentially trimming display panel orders. (MSN; Reuters)
• Record‐high delinquent auto loan levels in Q1 2025 signal softer consumer financing conditions and may dampen new vehicle purchase volumes, weighing on display shipments. (MSN)

Investors will watch whether these auto‐industry developments accelerate or curb orders for AUO’s in-car display solutions.
