The whole world is in a crisis that seems difficult to overcome. The great crisis generated by COVID-19 is now joined by another on which we have not yet reached its ceiling, the energy crisis. All this greatly influences the ability of companies to manage day to day. In Taiwan, the European problems of war between Russia and Ukraine are a bit far away. However sooner or later it will affect. Quanta Computer is waiting to see how the events unfold in order to be able to take one measure or another because it does not want a repeat of what happened in past years where because of the virus they have entered up to 50% less.

However, this company is currently in some indices that its managers do not like. Having generated half the profits of previous years, the company advises that This situation cannot continue in the same way.

In the Asian country, the authorities have zero tolerance for any outbreak or case that arises and that is why temporary closures and restrictions are common. They may serve for health (which is the most important thing) but for the economy it is not by far the best option.

The company does not want and should not suffer a similar setback. What happens is that external agents are the ones that cause these situations and thus it is difficult to deal with them. At the moment it seems that it is not affecting shipments of the MacBook Pro that have immediate delivery. The Air models are delayed a little more but it does not seem to be due to this situation either. However, it is likely that if external agents continue in the same way, it could cause greater delays in the short and medium term and even out of stock, which would also mean less profit for Apple.
