Foxconn Shatters Records: Q4 Revenue Soars on AI Server Frenzy
Foxconn just posted its biggest quarter ever—and it's all thanks to the machines.
The Hardware Juggernaut Awakens
Forget iPhones for a second. The real action is in the data center. Foxconn's latest numbers reveal a seismic shift: demand for AI server racks and components isn't just growing—it's exploding. The supply chain titan is riding the wave of every tech giant's frantic scramble for compute power.
Feeding the AI Beast
They're building the literal backbone of the artificial intelligence revolution. Every large language model training run, every cloud inference request—it all flows through hardware. Foxconn's manufacturing scale positions it as the indispensable arms dealer in this new war for silicon supremacy.
The assembly lines are humming, and the balance sheet shows it. This isn't a speculative bump; it's a fundamental re-rating of what this industrial behemoth is worth in an AI-first world. The market might chase software stocks, but the real money—for now—is in the foundries forging the physical infrastructure.
So, while analysts debate P/E ratios, Foxconn just cashes the checks. A classic case of the pick-and-shovel play making bank during a gold rush—proving once again that sometimes the smartest trade is selling the tools, not digging for treasure. (Wall Street, of course, will take credit for 'discovering' this trend six months from now.)

This represents a 22.07% increase from the same period in 2023. The figure surpassed the LSEG SmartEstimate of T$2.418 trillion, which weights forecasts from historically accurate analysts more heavily.
The company said revenue grew strongly on both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year bases. Foxconn stated the results exceeded its own expectations.
On a U.S. dollar basis, fourth-quarter revenue jumped 26.4%. The stronger dollar performance reflects favorable currency movements during the period.
AI Demand Fuels Growth
The cloud and networking products division led Foxconn’s revenue surge. This segment benefited from intense demand for AI servers.
Foxconn serves as Nvidia’s biggest server maker. The AI chip giant’s products require specialized server infrastructure that Foxconn manufactures at scale.
The company’s smart consumer electronics segment told a different story. This division includes iPhone assembly for Apple, Foxconn’s largest client.
Revenue in this segment posted a slight decline. Foxconn attributed the drop to unfavorable exchange rates rather than volume changes.
December 2024 alone saw revenue of T$862.86 billion. This marked a 31.77% increase from December 2023.
The December figure set a record for that month. The strong finish capped off a quarter that beat both internal and external expectations.
Stock Performance and Outlook
Foxconn shares gained 25.3% throughout 2024. This performance matched the broader Taiwan market’s gains for the year.
On Monday, before the revenue announcement, the stock closed up 1.08%. The benchmark Taiwan index ROSE 2.57% the same day.
The company said the strong Q4 results create a high comparison base for Q1 2026. This suggests Foxconn expects some moderation in growth rates moving forward.
Foxconn doesn’t provide numerical revenue or earnings forecasts. The company will report detailed fourth-quarter earnings in March 2026.
The December revenue of T$862.86 billion represented 31.77% annual growth. This marked the strongest monthly performance of the quarter.
