Foxconn, the world's top contract electronics manufacturer, has revised its full-year outlook due to the recent upsurge in the value of the Taiwan dollar, despite anticipating robust demand for AI servers.
The company, a major assembler for Apple and Nvidia, expressed concerns about U.S. trade and tariff policies impacting its business, citing challenges ahead.
Chairman Young Liu mentioned that the adjustment in the outlook was primarily due to the Taiwan dollar appreciation against the U.S. dollar, prompting a more cautious stance for the year.
Foxconn foresees substantial year-on-year growth in the second quarter, especially in AI servers, and is ramping up volume production, although headwinds persist.
