Foxconn Reports Record Quarterly Profit Fueled by AI Server Demand

Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn reported a record first-quarter net profit of NT 49.9 billion (US$1.6 billion), a 19% increase from the previous year, driven by strong demand for artificial intelligence servers, electric vehicles, and robotics. Despite geopolitical uncertainties and a recent cyberattack on its North American factories, the company expects continued robust AI server growth in the second quarter. Foxconn and chipmaker TSMC both remain cautiously optimistic about supply chain stability amid global tensions.
