Foxconn has made an optimistic assessment of the full year after reporting a 17% increase in net profit to NT$57.7 billion (US$1.9 billion) for the third quarter of the 2025 financial year.
The contract electronics manufacturer, whose formal name is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, said gross profit rose 14% to NT$130.8 billion and operating profit surged 29% to NT$70.5 billion on revenue, which gained 11% to NT$2.06 trillion
“Revenue and profit – on a gross, operating and net basis – for the third quarter and the first three quarters of this year all reached record highs for their same periods,” the company said in a press release.
Foxconn said that artificial intelligence (AI) and smart consumer electronics were expected to show significant growth momentum in the fourth quarter.
Chairman Young Liu said he still expected significant growth for the full year, except for smart consumer electronics products, whose full year outlook had been upgraded to flat from a slight decline.
Among the four major product categories, cloud and networking products remained the main growth driver this year.
“Looking ahead to the final quarter of 2025, significant growth is seen on-quarter and on-year. The company maintained its significant growth target for the full year, while offering for the first time, optimism about performance in 2026,” it said.
Liu said the development of the AI industry, the political and economic situation and monetary policy would be the most important influences in 2026.
“The company is optimistic about the AI field, expecting closer collaboration with major customers, expansion into more diverse AI solutions, and securing more orders,” he said.
Foxconn shares (TPE: 2317) closed NT$4.50 (1.83%) higher at NT$251.00 on Wednesday, capitalising the company at NT$3.51 trillion.
The world’s largest electronics manufacturer, Foxconn, manufactures servers for Nvidia and iPhones for Apple.
