Foxconn Reports 52% Rise in August Sales Driven by AI Demand
Taiwan-based manufacturer Foxconn reported a 51.98% year-on-year rise in August sales to NT 921.77 billion (USD 29.14 billion), marking the second-highest monthly sales in its history. Growth was driven by strong global demand for AI applications, particularly in its cloud and networking divisions. While some divisions saw month-on-month declines, overall sales for the first eight months rose nearly 40%. Foxconn expects continued momentum in the third quarter amid the ICT peak season but noted global political and economic uncertainties.
