AI Servers Propel Foxconn's Record-Breaking Revenue
Due to robust demand for artificial intelligence (AI) servers, Foxconn, the biggest contract electronics producer in the world based in Taiwan, posted its highest-ever revenue for the third quarter, surpassing forecasts.
Sales for Apple's largest iPhone manufacturer reached T$1.85 trillion ($57.3 billion), an increase of 20.2% from the previous year, Reuters reports.
For Foxconn, "the result exceeded the company's original expectations of significant growth," as stated in Saturday's update.

September Sales Spike as Foxconn Eyes Q4 Momentum
In September alone, total income hit T$733 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of 10.9% and the second-highest monthly total ever.
"Entering the peak season in the second half of the year, we anticipate our operation to gradually gain momentum," Foxconn stated regarding its outlook for the current quarter.
Q4 Projections Expected to Meet Market Expectations
The statement continued, "The fourth quarter is expected to be roughly in line with current market expectations," but did not provide any further details.
Per MSN, the organization does not make quantitative predictions available.

Anticipating Tech Day and Full Earnings in November
