12 August 2026, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317) today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results.

Revenue in the April-June quarter reached NT$2.53 trillion, that alongside operating profit and net profit, all set new second-quarter records. Net profit for the quarter was NT$60 billion, and earnings per share reached NT$4.27. Looking ahead to the third quarter, the traditional peak season, operations are expected to gradually pick up. Overall, the July-September quarter is expected to see significant quarter-on-quarter growth and strong year-on-year growth. For the full year 2026, thanks to strong demand for AI servers and growth in smart consumer electronics, the outlook for strong growth remains unchanged.

In the second quarter, revenue reached NT$2.53 trillion, up 41% on year; at the same time, gross profit was NT$154.5 billion, rising 36%; operating profit at NT$94.8 billion, increased 68%; and net profit (attributable to the parent company's owners) was NT$60 billion, gaining 35% on year. Gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin were 6.12%, 3.75%, and 2.37%, respectively. EPS reached NT$4.27, an increase of NT$1.08 compared to NT$3.19 in the same period last year. Revenue, operating profit, and net profit all reached record highs for the same quarterly period.

In the first half of 2026, revenue reached NT$4.65 trillion, increasing 35% from a year ago; at the same time, gross profit was NT$285.5 billion, up 33%; operating profit was NT$170.5 billion, jumping 65%; and net profit was NT$109.9 billion, rising 27%. Gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin were 6.15%, 3.67%, and 2.37%, respectively. EPS reached NT$7.84, an increase of NT$1.61 compared to NT$6.23 in the same period last year. Revenue, operating profit, and net profit all reached record highs for the first half of the year.

Amid significant market interest regarding the mass production progress of AI and smart consumer electronics products for key clients, Foxconn Rotating CEO Michael Chiang stated the Group is seeing sustained volume growth in AI server racks driven by continued capital expenditure expansion among cloud service providers (CSP). Cloud and networking products are projected for strong growth in the third quarter, with high double-digit increases both on-quarter and on-year. For the same period, revenue for smart consumer electronics, given traditional peak season in the second half of the year, is expected to show significant growth sequentially in the July-September quarter and compared to a year ago.

As Foxconn continues to expand its market share in AI server racks, Chiang said Foxconn's advantage in AI lies in providing complete, end-to-end system solutions, rather than just single products. With Vera Rubin (VR) racks entering mass production in the third quarter, overall AI server rack revenue is expected to increase quarter-on-quarter, and shipments are projected to achieve high double-digit growth. For the full year this year, AI rack shipments are also expected to more than double. Shipments of high-performance networking products are moving ahead and full-year revenue from 800G and higher switches is expected to double, while co-packaged optics (CPO) all-optical switches are on track for mass production and shipment in the third quarter.

Foxconn’s sustained strength in operational performance comes down to its global footprint and economies of scale, said Chiang. With more than 240 sites in 24 countries, and longstanding, deep development of vertically integrated and highly automated operations, alongside a high in-house production ratio of key components, the Group is able to maintain sound operating efficiency and yields in the face of high unit price and highly complex AI products. Taking an example, he said, currently the Group’s automation rates of processes in computer numerical control (CNC) and surface mount technology (SMT) are close to 100%. Ultimately, it is the collaboration with top-tier customers to develop products, focusing on forward-looking and proprietary technologies, increasing the proportion of high-value-added products, that drives Foxconn's transformation into a technology manufacturing platform service provider.

On the subject of the Group’s cash flow supporting its huge operations and mass production work, Chiang said AI has brought significant benefits to Foxconn's financial performance. Investment expansion and order intake in the first half of this year has led to capital expenditure growing 5% on year to NT$80.9 billion, and net interest expense increasing by NT$6.6 billion annually. However, he pointed out that well-outpacing the spending and interest expense was a bigger 52% year-on-year jump in adjusted EBITDA in the first half, making clear a healthier cash flow. In the January-June period this year, adjusted EBITDA reached NT$227.7 billion, up by NT$77.6 billion.

Regarding the ROE and operating profit margin indicators, Chiang stated the ROE for the first half of this year reached 6.21%, an increase of 0.73 percentage point compared to the same period last year, reaching half of the Group's 12% target, with further room for improvement. Operating profit margin – at 3.67% in the January-June period, improving 0.67 percentage point year-on-year – not only met the Group's 3% target, but should also exceed last year's full-year level of 3.2%.

Looking ahead to next year, Chiang said customer demand for AI production capacity will still be very strong. Foxconn’s capex will continue to increase in locations including Taiwan, the United States, Mexico and Vietnam; among sites, in response to American localization needs, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio and California will see build up in R&D and manufacturing capabilities. The Group currently has no plans for direct equity financing and will maintain a sound capital structure to meet future operational and expansion needs.

Among positive developments in new business areas, Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors in New Zealand recently officially confirmed EV models under partnership, with Chiang noting vehicle deliveries starting in the second half of this year. In Europe, work with state-backed ElectroMobility Poland (EMP) is continuing to advance, while in MENA, production is expected to officially start in the fourth quarter for the joint venture in EV charging infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, at home, delivery began in July for new car model CAVIRA based on the MODEL C, and the new Kaohsiung factory also started mass production of MODEL T and electric bus batteries.

In a call out for October, Hon Hai Tech Day 2026 this year will be held October 30-31. In its 7^th year, Foxconn’s flagship show will take place at an unprecedented scale, combining the first and fourth floors of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1, to demonstrate the Group’s latest technological achievements from its three major smart platforms and deep integration of AI. New product reveals are planned. The two-day annual conference will launch for the first time a family-friendly pavilion for children to explore cool zones and dream jobs related to technology. Free entry on the second day, hands-on exploratory themes for the young include sustainability, mobility, smart factory and smart city. Foxconn sincerely invites one and all to come!
