Net profit for the quarter reached $1.2 billion, beating analyst expectations, according to company figures released on Thursday. Revenue also climbed 18% year-over-year, with AI servers now accounting for a significant portion of the company’s overall sales.

Looking ahead, the company projected strong growth through 2026, citing robust orders from hyperscale customers. "We are optimistic about the AI-driven momentum, which is expected to sustain our performance over the next two years," said a Foxconn spokesperson. The firm also highlighted its efforts to diversify manufacturing across Southeast Asia and the Americas to mitigate geopolitical risks.

Despite global economic uncertainties, Foxconn’s upbeat outlook reflects a broader industry trend, as chipmakers and hardware suppliers benefit from the AI boom. Analysts note that the company’s ability to secure long-term contracts with leading tech giants positions it well for continued expansion. Foxconn’s shares rose 2.3% in Taipei trading following the earnings release.
