Foxconn's strong first-quarter profit, driven by AI demand, signals robust growth in the AI server market, positively impacting Foxconn and its partners like Nvidia. The company's increased capital expenditure for AI server manufacturing and expansion into new regions like Mexico and United States — Texas indicate a significant shift in its business focus, while its underperforming shares suggest the market may not have fully priced in this growth potential. The shift in iPhone production for Apple Inc. to India also highlights ongoing supply chain adjustments.

Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker, reported a 19% increase in first-quarter profit, surpassing market expectations. This growth is primarily attributed to strong global demand for AI products, with Foxconn being Nvidia's biggest server maker. The company forecasts strong revenue growth for the year and plans to increase capital expenditures by 30% to expand its AI server manufacturing capacity. Foxconn is also building new factories in Mexico and United States — Texas to produce AI servers for Nvidia. While Foxconn remains Apple Inc.'s top iPhone assembler, it has shifted the bulk of US-bound iPhone production to India from China. The company's ventures into electric vehicles have been less smooth, as evidenced by the sale of a former car factory in United States — Lordstown, Ohio. Despite the positive earnings, Foxconn's shares have underperformed the broader Taiwan index.
