Hon Hai Technology Group, better known as Foxconn, reported record third-quarter results on Thursday, November 12, as demand for AI servers lifted revenue and profitability. In its financial release, the company said its outlook for all four major product segments had improved.

Revenue for the July-to-September quarter reached NT$3.02 trillion, up 46 percent from a year earlier. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company rose 34 percent to NT$77.5 billion, while operating profit increased 64 percent to NT$115.4 billion. Earnings per share reached NT$5.51.

AI leads the earnings expansion

Cloud and networking products, including AI servers, were the main source of the record performance. The segment exceeded Foxconn's most optimistic initial expectations, and Chairman Young Liu described AI servers as the group's most important growth engine.

Foxconn expects strong sequential and year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. New-generation AI server racks should support cloud and networking revenue, while the seasonal peak for information and communications technology products is expected to lift smart consumer electronics shipments.

Management also raised its full-year outlook across all four major product segments. Computing products remain exposed to tight memory supplies, although higher prices for certain components are expected to support significant year-over-year growth.

Supply remains the main risk

Liu said Foxconn was optimistic about continued operational growth in 2027, supported by customer demand and further investment in AI infrastructure. At the same time, chips, memory and other key components remain in tight supply. New production capacity should ease bottlenecks gradually, but demand is expected to continue exceeding supply next year.

The company said AI expansion is improving capital efficiency as well as revenue. Return on equity reached 10.44 percent in the first nine months, while operating profit increased 65 percent year over year. EBITDA reached NT$369.2 billion in the same period, up 50.3 percent from a year earlier.
