UPDATE 1-Foxconn Q2 revenue beats market forecast on AI server demand
04:27:06 AM ET, 07/05/2024 - Reuters
(Recasts and adds details)
TAIPEI, July 5 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker and Apple's biggest iPhone assembler, posted on Friday better-than-expected quarterly revenue on AI server demand, and forecast continued growth in the current quarter.
The third quarter is traditionally the start of the season for Taiwan's tech companies to race to supply smartphones, tablets and other electronics to major vendors such as Apple for Western markets' year-end holiday period.
Foxconn is also powering ahead due to strong demand for servers for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and its customers include AI darling Nvidia.
This year's third quarter is expected to see revenue grow both year-on-year and compared with the previous quarter, Foxconn said in a statement.
"Entering the peak season of the second half of the year, we anticipate our operation to gradually gain momentum," it said.
The company does not provide numerical forecast.
Foxconn, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, said revenue last month reached T$490.7 billion ($15.12 billion), up 16.1% year-on-year and at the second-highest level for the same period.
For the second quarter, revenue soared 19.1% year-on-year to T$1.55 trillion, beating a T$1.51 trillion LSEG SmartEstimate, which gives greater weight to forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate, and a record high for the same period.
Second-quarter revenue in its cloud and networking products segment showed strong growth year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter benefiting from strong AI server demand, it said.
However for smart consumer electronics products, including smartphones, revenue was flat year-on-year, Foxconn said, without providing an explanation.
Foxconn's shares have surged 105% so far this year, outperforming a 31% jump for the broader Taiwan market.
In line with the overall market, Foxconn's shares closed flat on Friday ahead of the revenue data release.
The company will report its second-quarter earnings on Aug. 14.

Is anyone still following this company, and if so, do you have any thoughts on, is it better, if shares of this company are purchased as HNHAF, purchased directly on the TWSE for US folks, or purchased through The US OTC with ticker symbol HNHPF? Thank you.

WSJ: "Foxconn Shrinks Plans for Wisconsin Plant"
"Electronics maker signs new deal with state to invest up to $672 million, instead of up to $10 billion"
"Foxconn is scaling back plans for a liquid-crystal-display plant in Wisconsin, saying it expects to invest a fraction of the $10 billion promised nearly four years ago, according to a new contract with the state.
The electronics maker, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. 2317 -1.64% , negotiated a new economic-development deal on Tuesday with the state of Wisconsin that was a shadow of the record-setting incentives package announced in the summer of 2017.
Foxconn, the world’s biggest electronics contract manufacturer, now plans to invest as much as $672 million and create 1,454 jobs by the year 2025 to qualify for $80 million in incentives, according to the contract.
The company previously agreed to invest as much as $10 billion and hire 13,000 people by the year 2032 to qualify for $2.85 billion in incentives.
The Foxconn deal was originally struck by the company’s former chairman and founder, Terry Gou, and former Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who lost his post in 2018 to Democrat Tony Evers. The deal was announced at the White House and touted by then-President Trump as a pillar of the administration’s plan to boost U.S. manufacturing jobs."

Manufacturer for hire: China's Geely sets out to become a force in electric cars
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/manufacturer-hire-chinas-geely-sets-230135336.html
"The chairman's attitude towards contract manufacturing is clear: he is embracing it and actively pursuing it," a Geely executive told Reuters.
Outsourcing production of some models through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) deals is common in the auto industry, but Geely's plans represent the most aggressive attempt yet by an automaker to build up a contract manufacturing business.
Of the four deals announced, a venture with Taiwan's Foxconn to provide electric vehicle (EV) contract manufacturing, is the most important, said the sources, who were not authorised to speak to media and declined to be identified.
