Thursday, Aug 14, 2025 3:04 am ET1min read

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer and partner of Nvidia, reported a 27% rise in quarterly earnings, exceeding projections, driven by strong demand for AI servers. The company navigates geopolitical uncertainty and a moribund consumer electronics market, with AI servers becoming its main growth driver. However, an appreciating Taiwan dollar and potential US-China trade war fallout weigh on its financials.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., known as Foxconn, reported a 27% rise in quarterly earnings, surpassing projections. The company's strong performance was driven by robust demand for artificial intelligence (AI) servers, according to its earnings report for the June quarter [2].

Foxconn's net income for the period was NT$44.36 billion ($1.5 billion), significantly higher than the average projection of NT$36.14 billion. The company, which also manufactures servers for Nvidia Corp., has seen AI servers become its main growth driver, despite navigating a challenging global consumer electronics market [2].

The company's earnings come amidst geopolitical uncertainty, including potential fallout from a US-China trade war. Foxconn has been diversifying its manufacturing footprint to mitigate these risks, expanding its presence in countries like India, Mexico, and Texas. However, the appreciation of the Taiwan dollar and the ongoing trade tensions are weighing on its financials [1, 2].

Foxconn's earnings call, scheduled for Thursday at 0700 GMT in Taipei, will provide further insights into the company's outlook for the year. The company's shares have risen 7.9% so far this year, outperforming the broader Taiwan index's 5.8% gain [1].
