Pictured here is a Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou city on Sept. 4, 2021. Apple iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on Friday posted a dip of 9.6% in revenue for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period last year. The company, which trades as Hon Hai Precision Industry in Taiwan, recorded a first-quarter revenue of 1.32 trillion New Taiwan dollars ($41.2 billion), which was also 28.58% lower compared to the fourth quarter of last year. It was also below economists' expectations in an LSEG poll. However, the company expects revenue to grow in the second quarter, despite noting that it "remains a traditional off-peak season."

☆ Apple supplier Foxconn sees strong 2024 as Q4 beats forecasts
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The outlook has turned rosier since Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said in November the world's largest contract electronics maker had "relatively conservative and neutral" expectations for 2024. The profit beat a T$43.52 billion LSEG SmartEstimate, which gives greater weight to forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate. In the fourth quarter, consumer electronics including smartphones accounted for 58% of revenue while cloud and networking products, including servers, contributed 20%. Foxconn said it expects revenue for the first quarter to slightly decline from a year earlier, with revenue for smart computer electronics also likely to drop in the period. Apple last month reported sales and profit that beat Wall Street estimates, powered by growth in its iPhone business though its China sales missed analysts' targets.

"While we expect a very modest cyclical recovery as a whole, we continue to look for opportunities among individual stocks," Goldman Sachs' analysts, led by Daiki Takayama, wrote in the note, naming buy-rated names — including four conviction list stocks — to play the theme. The bank's conviction list comprises its top buy-rated stock ideas that are expected to beat the market. SK Hynix South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix was among the stocks that made Goldman's list of buy-rated names that are also on its conviction list. Goldman gave the stock a price target of 3,300 Japanese Yen ($22.78) implying upside of around 37.7%. Meanwhile, the bank has a target price of 29 Chinese yuan ($4.07) on Foxconn, giving it around 124.6% potential upside.

REUTERS/Ann Wang/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsTAIPEI, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn (2317.TW), the world's largest contract electronics maker and a major Apple (AAPL.O) supplier, on Tuesday raised its outlook for the fourth quarter on strong year-end sales for the holiday peak season. The fourth quarter is traditionally the hot season for Taiwan's tech companies as they race to supply smartphones, tablets and other electronics to major vendors such as Apple for the year-end holiday period in Western markets. "Therefore, the outlook for the fourth quarter should be better than the original guidance for 'significant growth'", the company added, without elaborating. For components and other products, revenue in November showed strong year-on-year growth "due to increasing allocations in smart consumer electronics products and rising shipments in auto components", it added.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday said he thinks Wall Street has made some poor decisions when evaluating mega cap stocks. "Look, on any given day, we're giving, getting these imperfections, these mistakes, these juvenile, uninformed moves," he said. Cramer pointed to tech giant Apple , which he said opened down on Tuesday due to a market-wide decline. But its stock changed course after the company announced its recently approved weight loss treatment Zepound is now available at pharmacies. These "mistakes" can bode well for investors who might want to buy shares of high quality stocks at lower prices.

HONG KONG, Nov 27 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Terry Gou is not running for Taiwan’s presidency after all. Nonetheless, the $45 billion Apple (AAPL.O) supplier’s continuing push to move production outside of China leaves it firmly on frontlines of rising cross-strait tensions. Foxconn grew into the biggest employer in China, with more than 1 million workers at its peak and a top contract manufacturer for global brands. Foxconn is out of the election spotlight but it still has to grapple with an awkward status quo.

Taipei/Hong Kong CNN —Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of major Apple supplier Foxconn, withdrew from the race to become Taiwan’s next president on Friday, just hours before the deadline to formally register as a candidate. “I have never yielded in the battlefield of international business,” Gou said in a statement, without providing a specific reason for the retreat. “For the future of the Republic of China, choosing to yield is all the love I can give to my homeland,” Gou added, referencing Taiwan’s official name. Gou founded Foxconn, established as Hon Hai Precision Industry in Taiwan, in 1974. Shortly after he announced his bid, Chinese state media reported that Foxconn was under investigation by authorities in China over land use and tax concerns.

China’s slowing economy could soon become a major talking point for U.S. companies as they begin to report third-quarter earnings. Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovChina’s surprise investigation into Apple supplier Foxconn, a key link in the iPhone supply chain, may be intended to send a message. The one Apple and its suppliers actually receive might do China more harm than good. Chinese authorities have launched tax and land-use probes into subsidiaries of Foxconn , formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry , the company confirmed last week. That is surprising since Foxconn, which is the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer, has long had an amicable relationship with China—and is one of the biggest employers in the country.

Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, is a huge contributor to China's employment and economic growth.

But three months out from the election, Gou, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes at $6.7 billion, has gone to ground. China claims Taiwan as its own and believes Lai, who leads opinion polls, is a separatist bent on a formal declaration of independence. Since the Global Times report came out, Gou's team has declined to comment, referring questions to Foxconn itself. Gou remains a lauded figure at Foxconn after stepping down as chairman in 2019, referred to reverentially as "the founder".

Yet, coming less than 100 days ahead of Taiwan’s presidential election in January, it is difficult to see surprise tax raids on Foxconn as having no geopolitical implications. For multinationals, the tax audits expose Foxconn’s difficulty in navigating the global business environment as tensions across the Taiwan Strait escalate. For global onlookers anxious to reduce their Chinese dependency, Foxconn could be the most telling case on the true cost of reshoring. The audits come less than three months ahead of Taiwan’s presidential election in January 2024 and amid Foxconn’s drive to expand its production outside China. Foxconn’s founder Terry Gou, who stepped down as company chief in 2019, is running as an independent candidate in Taiwan’s upcoming presidential election.
