Foxconn anticipates a strong year as AI demand skyrockets.
Big company Foxconn, you know, in Taiwan, says next year is going to be huge. Foxconn is the world’s biggest gadget builder. Foxconn manufactures products for Apple, Nvidia, and many other major companies, correct? CEO Young Liu just finished a big call. He said computers that run AI—these will be everywhere and will make lots of money for Foxconn.
Secret OpenAI news is coming soon.
Foxconn boss said, “We work with OpenAI!” They have not revealed what the secret is yet. Next week at Foxconn’s big Tech Day, they share the secret. He only teased; he didn’t explain. OpenAI is also quiet. Many speculate that the company may be developing new chatbots, specialized hardware, or a powerful server system. No one knows, but all tech fans are curious and waiting for Foxconn to say more.
AI is surpassing phones as the main business.
Foxconn used to make mostly phones. Yes, Foxconn used to manufacture iPhones for Apple. But now the business shifted. Foxconn manufactures AI server racks, AI data centers, and AI computer boxes for Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. In the last few months, Foxconn made more cash from AI stuff than phones or tablets. Experts claim that it has revolutionized the industry, paving the way for further growth.
Money Grows: Profits Surprise Wall Street
Quarter three was enjoyable for Foxconn. Earnings jumped 17%. Net profit is big, NT$57.67 billion TWD, almost $1.9 billion US. Markets thought they’d get less, but nope—Foxconn did better. Big reason: AI server orders. Factories are making more AI hardware than ever. Investors are now loving Foxconn stock; the price is up 36% this year, doing better than Taiwan’s main stock index. The CEO said, “This is just a beginning. AI will be the biggest in 2026.”
Top technology companies buy Foxconn gear.
Everybody wants Foxconn servers. Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet (Google) spend billions of dollars for better AI brains. Nvidia, OpenAI, and Apple are all major players in the AI industry. Foxconn is now the main builder for big US tech companies. They also work on new clusters and supercomputers with Nvidia—last month’s board okay’d NT$42 billion for new AI factory gear.
OpenAI Collab: Maybe Data Centers, Maybe Robots
It’s unclear what Foxconn and OpenAI are developing together. Rumors say it can be new chip designs, or crazy smart robot servers, or a super cloud network. If Foxconn and OpenAI team up, it will be a big boost for AI hardware and making new things for next-gen computers. Foxconn chairman Liu says, “AI just started. We’re excited to lead.”
Electric Vehicle Dream: Bumpy Road
Foxconn also tried making electric cars. The company’s attempt to produce electric cars was unsuccessful last month. They had to sell a big car factory in Ohio for $375 million when things went slow. But they still want to do more tech, more AI, not just cars or phones. “Diversify” is the word Liu uses.
Investors Happy—Future Looks Bright
Foxconn now makes almost half its money from cloud and AI products, more than from tangible consumer electronics. The markets are responding positively. Shares reached an all-time high when the CEO met OpenAI’s Sam Altman. Tech Day next week may drive the price even higher. The company promises “strong growth” for next year. All bets on AI being the core driver. Everybody watches for the OpenAI-Foxconn announcement.
Summary—Simple Tech, Big Future
Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and Nvidia’s top supplier, asserts that AI is the key to future economic success. There are hints of new developments with OpenAI, but the details are still unknown. Profits are high, stock up, new data centers are planned, and AI servers are the main product now. Phones are old news; AI is the new king. Tech journalists and markets say Foxconn is on the right track, optimistic for 2026, and hoping the OpenAI deal brings even bigger things.
