Hon Hai Precision Industry reports record annual revenue, driven by AI product demand

Hon Hai (Foxconn) reports record 2025 revenue of $258.3 billion, with Cloud & AI products driving 31.77% YoY growth in December.

"with continued ramp-up in AI rack shipments... the seasonality of this quarter is expected to be near the upper end - Foxconn Press Release"

New Delhi, January 5

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. announced unaudited consolidated revenue for December 2025, reaching USD 27.43 billion. This figure represents a 2.20 per cent increase month-on-month and a 31.77 per cent increase year-on-year. According to a Foxconn press release, this performance marks the highest revenue recorded for the month of December in the company's history, surpassing the previous peak of USD 22.81 billion set in December 2021.

The company reported that total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 reached USD 82.77 billion. This results in a 26.51 per cent increase from the previous quarter and a 22.07 per cent rise compared to the same period in 2024. The quarterly performance set a new record for the highest single-quarter revenue, exceeding the previous record of USD 67.8 billion established in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the full year of 2025, cumulative revenue reached USD 258.3 billion, an 18.07 per cent year-on-year increase, which also stands as the highest annual record for the firm.

Sector-specific data indicates that Cloud and Networking Products, along with Components and Other Products, served as the primary drivers of growth. In December, the Cloud and Networking category demonstrated strong month-on-month growth due to sustained pull-in momentum for AI products.

Components and Other Products also delivered strong growth during the same period. Conversely, Smart Consumer Electronics and Computing Products experienced slight declines month-on-month, which the company attributed to a high base caused by inventory build-up ahead of the holidays.

On a year-on-year basis for the fourth quarter, Cloud and Networking Products and Components and Other Products showed strong growth. Smart Consumer Electronics saw a slight decline, while Computing Products declined due to slower pull-in momentum.

For the full year, Cloud and Networking and Components maintained strong growth, whereas Computing Products and Smart Consumer Electronics remained flattish. The company noted that while pull-in momentum for consumer electronics improved year-on-year, the category remained flattish due to exchange rate impacts.

Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2026, the company stated that ICT products entered a traditional off-season. However, the business outlook remains optimistic regarding specific segments. The company noted that "with continued ramp-up in AI rack shipments, even against the high base of 4Q25, the seasonality of this quarter is expected to be near the upper end of the past five-year range."

This follows a fourth quarter where revenue exceeded expectations of significant growth, creating a high base for the current period.

Interesting to see the shift. Smart consumer electronics are slowing down while AI cloud products are booming. Makes sense - everyone is talking about AI now. I wonder how much of this hardware is actually being used for genuine innovation versus just hype-driven spending. 🤔

Foxconn has a huge plant in Tamil Nadu, right? This record revenue should translate to more jobs and investment in India. Our government should leverage this relationship to push for more high-value manufacturing and R&D here, not just assembly lines. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While the growth is impressive, I have a respectful criticism. The article mentions "exchange rate impacts" affecting consumer electronics. This massive global company's performance is still vulnerable to currency fluctuations. It highlights the need for more stable, localized supply chains, perhaps with greater Indian participation.

The future is in Cloud and Networking, baap re! This is a lesson for our IT sector. We need to move beyond traditional services and build products and hardware capabilities. The demand for AI servers and racks is only going up. Time for India to create its own Foxconn in the electronics space.

As someone working in tech, this data is very telling. The "traditional off-season" might not be so off anymore if AI keeps driving growth. The cyclical nature of tech might be changing. Good news for engineers and tech hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, as global demand stays strong.
