Hon Hai's increased capex signals strong demand for AI infrastructure, likely boosting its revenue and profit outlook, and positively impacting its stock. The expansion also supports the broader AI supply chain and may increase competition in AI server manufacturing.
Foxconn, also known as Foxconn, announced at an investor conference that its 2026 capital expenditure will grow by over 30% to focus on expanding AI production capacity, including AI servers, AI racks, and liquid cooling equipment. The company reported 2025 capex of NT$173.8 billion (US$5.39 billion) and H1 2026 capex of NT$80.9 billion (US$2.77 billion). Next-generation AI racks will enter mass production in Q3 with shipments starting in Q4, and are expected to become the core AI product by 2027. Hon Hai aims to increase its global AI server market share from over 40% to 50%, with full-year 2026 AI rack shipments projected to more than double from 2025. The capex will also strengthen global manufacturing and R&D in Taiwan, the US, Mexico, and Vietnam, with particular focus on US campuses in Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, and California. In semiconductors, the utilization rate of its eight-inch fab in Japan topped 90%. In EVs, deliveries of Model B-based vehicles to New Zealand and Austria are scheduled for end of 2026, following Cavira SUV deliveries in Taiwan in July.
