Taiwan tech giant Foxconn's Q1 profit soars
Taiwan tech giant Foxconn's Q1 profit soars

Taipei (AFP) May 14, 2025

Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn said Wednesday its first-quarter net profit soared 91 percent, beating expectations, on strong demand for artificial intelligence servers.

The world's biggest contract electronics manufacturer has been moving beyond assembling devices such as Apple's iPhones into areas ranging from electric vehicles to AI servers.

The company said net profit in the first three months rose 91 percent year-on-year to NT$42.1 billion (US$1.4 billion).

That compares with an average forecast of NT$35.5 billion, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts.

Revenue in the three-month period increased 24 percent from a year ago to NT$1.6 trillion.

Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, has been riding a wave of global demand for generative AI technology in recent years.

The earnings announcement covers the period before US President Donald Trump's global tariff blitz sent global markets into freefall.

Trump announced hefty tariffs against US trade partners on April 2 before pausing them for 90 days, including a 32 percent duty on Taiwanese imports, but excluded semiconductors.

While Foxconn has plants around the world, the bulk of its operations is based in China, which were hit by 145 percent US tariffs until the two countries agreed this month to drastically reduce levies for 90 days.

New Multimodal Transistor Promises Cheaper, Greener Display Technology
London, UK (SPX) May 13, 2025
A new type of electronic component developed by researchers at the University of Surrey could significantly reduce the cost and environmental impact of display screen production. Known as the multimodal transistor (MMT), this innovation aims to cut manufacturing costs in half while delivering brighter, more energy-efficient screens for devices like smartphones, smartwatches, and medical equipment. Traditional display screens rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) to control each pixel's brightness a ... read more
