The company’s second-quarter revenue surpassed market projections due to increased demand for AI servers.


Foxconn, the world’s leading contract electronics manufacturer and Apple’s primary iPhone assembler, announced better-than-anticipated quarterly revenue on Friday, driven by demand for AI servers. The company also projected sustained growth in the upcoming quarter.
