Foxconn,Hon Hai Precision Industry,Profits

Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, achieved strong profits in the last quarter of the year. The company's CEO credited the boost to the growing demand for generative AI and announced plans to enter the AI technology market by partnering with Nvidia to create 'AI factories'.

Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, enjoyed a second successive quarter of surging profits in October-December. The firm is the world's biggest contract electronics manufacturer and assembles devices for several companies, most notably Apple's iPhones. CEO Young Liu said the company's overall performance was 'better than expected', pointing to full-year revenues reaching Tw$6.16 trillion dollars as 'the second-highest' after 2022.

He credited the boost to the growing demand for generative AI, a technology that has skyrocketed in popularity since ChatGPT was introduced to the public in late 2022. With ambitions to move beyond electronics assembly, Foxconn has invested significantly to be a part of the AI technology market. Most notably, it announced last October it would team up with US chip giant Nvidia to create 'AI factories' -- powerful data-processing centres that would drive the manufacturing of next-generation products
