Foxconn moves beyond Apple as AI servers drive growth in Taiwan tech sector
Taiwan's Foxconn, which rose to become a global tech manufacturing juggernaut by assembling millions of iPhones, can now say its main business is no longer Apple AAPL-Q as it takes advantage of the AI-boom to diversify its income. Its revenue from making AI servers and other cloud and networking products, including for major customer Nvidia , surpassed smart consumer products such as iPhones for the first time in the second quarter, marking the culmination of a shift that began years ago and has swept through Taiwan's tech industry. Foxconn's heavy reliance on the smartphone business has long been viewed by investors as a significant risk, as demand growth for new iPhones has gradually weakened since they were first introduced nearly two decades ago, leaving the top iPhone assembler grappling with slowing sales momentum, analysts said. Wary of the risk, Foxconn Chairman Young Liu has been championing new businesses such as AI servers, electric vehicles and semiconductors since taking the top job in 2019. While its expansion into EVs and chips has yet to show a meaningful contribution to its topline, Foxconn's success in AI server manufacturing - the company is Nvidia's NVDA-Q biggest server maker - is the result of its early bets before the technology was thrust into the limelight with the advent of ChatGPT in late 2022. Consumer electronics accounted for 35 per cent of Foxconn's total revenue in the second quarter, while cloud and networking business represented 41 per cent. In 2021, consumer electronics represented 54 per cent of its revenue. The firm's prudent wagers years back helped it cultivate a now-prized relationship with the U.S. AI chip firm and other major AI players, analysts said. 'The company has been in the business for years, meeting higher quality requirements, diversifying assembly and operations across sites, and pursuing vertical integration,' said Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities. Opinion: Investors beware: The AI revolution could be a dud Foxconn began producing reference designs for Nvidia's graphics cards around 2002 and started making general-purpose servers for cloud service providers' data centers as early as around 2009. Its AI server business with Nvidia is in many ways the culmination of that history, analysts said. Foxconn says it is now one of the world's largest suppliers of both general-purpose and AI servers, with a market share of nearly 40 per cent in each. The company has also shown a willingness to commit investment to a project at an earlier stage than other companies, Kuo said, citing its past investments for Apple and similar moves for Nvidia. 'In long-term partnerships, Foxconn is more willing to take the initiative,' he said. Foxconn's plan to build factories in Houston, Texas – part of Nvidia's $500-billion U.S. investment plan – and in Mexico to produce AI servers for the U.S. client underscores this strategy, analysts said. Foxconn now expects its AI server revenue would grow more than 170 per cent in the third quarter year-on-year. Foxconn and Nvidia declined to comment. Apple did not respond to request for comment. The shift at Foxconn mirrors a broader trend in Taiwan's technology sector, where companies once centered on consumer electronics – such as Foxconn with iPhones, and Quanta Computer and Wistron Corp with notebooks – are now investing heavily in AI servers. Nvidia partner Wistron's revenue for January to July rose 92.7 per cent, while Quanta's grew 65.6 per cent in the same period. Cohere raises US$500-million, hires former Meta AI expert Joelle Pineau 'The monthly sales jump for Taiwan ODMs in the first half of 2025 is evidence of this trend,' said Robert Cheng, head of Asia technology hardware research at BofA Global Research, referring to original design manufacturers like Foxconn that contract manufacture products for their clients. Their fast transition into AI servers is also the result of Taiwanese tech supply chain working closely with U.S. tech giants on data center infrastructure work for a decade now, according to Chris Wei, industry consultant at Taiwan's Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute. He estimates Taiwan accounts for about 80 per cent of global server shipments and more than 90 per cent of AI servers. Cheng agrees. 'We think this shift toward AI servers, whatever form it takes, is good for Taiwan's tech industry,' he said, noting Taiwanese firms' ability to rapidly shift to cater to changing needs from their customers.

Asian shares are mostly higher after a mixed finish on Wall Street
Dealers talk near screens showing the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), left, and the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollar and South Korean won at a dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025. (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man) MANILA, Philippines — Asian shares were mostly higher on Thursday after a mixed finish on Wall Street, where shares in Nvidia, Palantir and other superstar stocks pared their earlier steep losses. Traders are looking ahead for cues about U.S. monetary policy from a meeting of central bankers that begins later in the day in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is due to speak to the conference on Friday. The Fed has kept its main interest rate steady this year, primarily because of the fear of the possibility that President Donald Trump's tariffs could push inflation higher. But a surprisingly weak report on job growth across the U.S. may be superseding that. Still, minutes from the Fed's July 29-30 meeting released Wednesday showed most Fed officials felt the threat of higher inflation was a greater concern than the potential for job losses, leading the central bank to keep its key rate unchanged. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 fell 0.6% to 42,610.17 after a survey showed Japan's factory activity remained in contraction for the second month in August. The S&P Global flash Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) increased to 49.9 in August from 48.9 in July, just below the 50 level that delineates between growth and decline. Regional manufacturers have been feeling pressure from Trump's higher tariffs on exports to the United States. In Chinese markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index edged 0.3% lower to 25,079.55, while the Shanghai composite index rose 0.1% to 3,771.10. South Korea's Kospi added 0.4% to 3,141.74 after shedding some its morning gains. Australia's S&P ASX 200 index added 1.1% to 9,019.10. Taiwan's TAIEX climbed 1.4%, while India's Sensex added 0.3%. 'Asian markets walked into Thursday like a card room still heavy with last night's smoke — muted, watchful, waiting for the next cue out of Jackson Hole,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 dipped 0.2% to 6,395.78 after trimming a 1.1% loss earlier in the day. It is still near its all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added less than 0.1% to 44,938.31. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.7% to 21,172.86. The day's action centered again around stocks caught up in the mania around artificial-intelligence technology. Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world's move into AI, sank as much as 3.9% during the morning and was on track to be the heaviest weight on Wall Street following its 3.5% fall on Tuesday. But it clawed back nearly all of Wednesday's drop and finished with a dip of just 0.1%. As it pared its loss, so did broad market indexes because Nvidia is Wall Street's most influential stock by being its most valuable. Palantir Technologies, another AI darling, fell 1.1% to add to its 9.4% loss from the day before, but it had been down as much as 9.8% Wednesday morning. One possible contributor to the swoon was a study from MIT's Nanda Initiative that warned that most corporations are not yet seeing any measurable return from their generative AI investments, according to Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, global head of equities at UBS Global Wealth Management. But the larger factor may be the simple criticism that prices for such stock have simply shot too high, too fast amid the furor around AI and became too expensive. In other dealings Thursday, US. benchmark crude gained 53 cents to US$63.24 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard added 51 cents to $67.35 per barrel. The U.S. dollar rose to 147.55 Japanese yen, from 147.29 yen. The euro slid to $1.1640 from $1.1659. Teresa Cerojano, The Associated Press
