Earnings per share in the first quarter hit NT$3.56. Looking ahead to the second quarter, although it is traditionally a slow season for the ICT industry, the Group expects to maintain an uptrend due to strong AI demand, with significant quarter-on-quarter growth and strong year-on-year growth. The full-year outlook remains unchanged, maintaining strong growth and providing greater visibility.In the first quarter of 2026, revenue reached NT$2.12 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 29%; gross profit was NT$131 billion, up 30%; operating profit was NT$75.6 billion, surging 63%; and net profit (attributable to the parent company's owners) was NT$49.9 billion, rising 19%. The gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin were 6.18%, 3.57%, and 2.36%, respectively, compared with 6.11%, 2.83%, and 2.56% in the same period last year, showing an increase in both gross profit margin and operating profit margin. EPS reached NT$3.56, an increase of NT$0.53 compared with NT$3.03 in the same period last year.Faced with sustained, strong demand for the Group’s AI business, Foxconn Rotating CEO Michael Chiang said that with the ICT industry entering the traditional off-season in the first quarter, coupled with rapid growth in AI server demand, the Cloud and Networking product segment now accounts for nearly 50% of revenue. This demonstrates that the Group’s AI strategy has already brought about a structural transformation, helping to mitigate the seasonality of the ICT industry. At the same time, with a more diversified AI customer base, the Group’s product portfolio has become more balanced.Looking ahead to the Group’s second quarter performance, although the quarter is traditionally a slow season for the ICT industry, expectations are for maintaining an uptrend, with significant growth quarter-on-quarter and strong growth year-on-year, thanks to strong AI demand. The full-year outlook for strong growth remains unchanged. Visibility is higher.The Group's main product segments are Cloud and Networking, and Smart Consumer Electronics. In terms of the former, strong growth is expected both on a quarterly and yearly basis. In terms of the latter, with overall demand better than last year, significant growth is expected.During the investor call, the Group shared how it is building a moat through a sound financial constitution, while at the same time expanding investment and spending. Last year, capital expenditures increased about 27% on-year to NT$174 billion, and should rise more than 30% this year. The investments are primarily focused on regional manufacturing deployment, automation implementation, and upgrade of core capacity.Taking the first quarter as an example, the Group’s EBITDA rose to NT$102.4 billion. This indicates that as the Group actively invests in future growth, its overall financial health is staying robust. Capex is gradually translating into revenue and profit growth ahead.In addition, in terms of enhancing corporate value, the Group’s ROE for the first quarter reached 2.88%, representing a clear improvement compared to the same period over the past two years. This reflects ongoing progress in optimizing the Group’s profitability structure and operational efficiency. As AI-related business grows, as well as benefits materialize from a global footprint and vertical integration, there is further upside potential for ROE.Regarding recent market focus on co-packaged optics (CPO), rotating CEO Chiang said that CPO switches are scheduled to enter mass production in the third quarter, with annual shipments expected to reach tens of thousands of units. Based on current visibility, shipments are projected to grow multi-fold next year.CPO and 1.6T high-end switch products are currently being developed and prepared for mass production in cooperation with major cloud and AI data center customers, with shipments expected to begin in the third quarter. In addition to switch design and assembly, the Group continues to strengthen its capabilities in key components such as optical modules, optoelectronic integration, cables, connectors, high-speed transmission, and power management. By increasing the proportion of in-house production and integration, the Group aims to further enhance system performance, delivery efficiency, and supply chain control.For AI rack shipments, the Group expects to keep high double-digit growth in the second quarter. For the full year, AI rack shipments are projected to more than double, with quarterly volumes increasing sequentially as customer projects progress. In the area of high-speed switches above 800G, driven by growing demand for high-speed networking architectures in AI data centers, related product shipments and revenue this year also have the potential to double.In robotics, one of the key areas in the Group’s “3+3+3” strategy, humanoid robots and collaborative robots have already been introduced in US manufacturing sites in the second quarter.

Quobly and Hon Hai Research Institute release an open-source toolbox to explore Quantum Phase Estimation for fault-tolerant quantum computing
Grenoble (France) and Taipei (Taiwan) – 12 May 2026 - Quobly, a French pioneer in silicon-based quantum computing, and Taiwan’s Hon Hai Research Institute, the R&D arm of Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), today announced the release of an open-source numerical toolbox, jointly developed by the two partners, dedicated to the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) algorithm, a cornerstone of fault-tolerant quantum computing with major applications in quantum chemistry and materials science.QPE is widely regarded as a key algorithm for computing ground-state energies of molecular systems on future fault-tolerant quantum computers. While its theoretical properties and asymptotic cost scalings are well understood, practical resource estimates and realistic performance trade-offs remain largely unexplored, due to the difficulty of simulating QPE beyond toy models.The newly released toolbox aims to bridge this gap by providing researchers with a practical environment to explore QPE implementations and their resource implications, with a strong focus on understanding algorithmic building blocks and their practical implementation constraints.From theory to practice: exploring the full QPE pipelineThe QPE Toolbox is designed to give quantum algorithm practitioners a hands-on, numerical understanding of the full QPE workflow, from chemistry preprocessing to phase estimation, in a regime that challenges classical simulation while remaining computationally tractable.Built on advanced tensor network techniques, the toolbox enables users to:• Prepare physically motivated initial states using DMRG and matrix product states,• Encode molecular Hamiltonians into quantum circuits via trotterization or block-encoding / qubitization methods,• Compare textbook QPE with single-ancilla Robust Phase Estimation (RPE),• Analyze circuit depth, gate counts, and error sources without necessarily executing the circuit.The toolbox relies on the open-source quimb library and interfaces with standard quantum chemistry tools such as PySCF, ensuring compatibility with established workflows.The first release is designed as an educational and exploratory framework, enabling researchers to build intuition around the practical implementation of QPE and its variants.A modular tool for realistic numerical experimentsRather than attempting to simulate early fault-tolerant quantum computers,ith which are by nature beyond classical reach, the QPE Toolbox focuses on practical, interpretable numerical experiments in regimes accessible to classical computation, where algorithmic choices, initialization fidelity, and Hamiltonian encoding strategies can be explored in detail.Illustrative use cases enabled by the toolbox include (non-exhaustive):• Full circuit executions for ~10–20 qubits and circuits ranging from <1,000 to ~100,000 gates,• Ground state preparation for systems up to ~20–30 qubits,• Hamiltonian encoding for systems up to ~20–30 qubits,typically within a few hours or less on a standard laptop.These capabilities allow researchers to study trade-offs between precision, circuit depth, and resource requirements, and to build practical intuition about the behavior of QPE building blocks. The toolbox is therefore designed primarily as a pedagogical and exploratory platform, helping bridge the gap between theoretical proposals and their concrete implementation constraints.Open, collaborative, and evolvingThe QPE Toolbox is released as open source and is intended to evolve with the community. Future developments will include variational circuit synthesis, compressed fermionic encodings, and larger-scale tensor-network simulations.The toolbox is available on GitHub: https://github.com/quobly-sw/qpe-toolboxDocumentation and example workflows are provided to help researchers explore the different components of the QPE pipeline.“Our goal is to provide a practical, numerical playground for QPE, one that helps researchers move beyond purely theoretical cost models and develop realistic intuition for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms,” said Thibaud Louvet, Quantum Algorithms Scientist at Quobly.“By combining state-of-the-art quantum algorithms with advanced tensor-network techniques, this toolbox offers researchers a structured environment to explore and better understand the practical requirements of future quantum applications,” said Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Director of the Quantum Computing Research Center at Hon Hai Research Institute.The jointly developed software is free for use by academics and researchers. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment by Quobly and Hon Hai Research Institute to advancing algorithm-hardware co-design and accelerating progress toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing.
