Foxconn posts record Q1 sales on AI server demand
Foxconn reported $66.62 billion in first-quarter sales, up 29.68% from $51.33 billion a year earlier. The Taiwan-based manufacturer attributed the jump to strong demand for AI-related products, particularly AI server racks for cloud computing and networking.
The company controls roughly 40% of the global AI server market. Its cloud and networking division drove most of the growth, while electronics components and consumer electronics also expanded. The computing division declined slightly.
March alone generated $25.17 billion in sales, a 45.57% increase year-over-year and 34.90% higher than February. This marked the strongest monthly performance in the company's history.
What's next for Foxconn
Foxconn expects the second quarter to show growth despite it being traditionally slower for the technology industry. The company said AI server rack shipments will drive revenue gains in the April-to-June period, based on current orders.
Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said in March that the company's AI server rack shipments could double in 2026 compared to 2025. He also projected that Foxconn's overall AI portfolio will gain market share.
The company cautioned that global political and economic conditions could create headwinds.
