Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn has experienced a significant revenue jump in the second quarter, driven by the rapidly expanding demand for artificial intelligence (AI) products. The world's largest electronics contract manufacturer saw its revenue increase by nearly 40 percent year-on-year, reaching approximately 2.5 trillion Taiwan dollars (nearly 69 billion euros).

This financial performance surpassed the estimates of analysts. Foxconn, a key supplier for Nvidia's servers and the primary assembler of Apple's iPhones, benefited greatly from the AI boom. The company's strong results underscore the growing importance of AI in the global technology market.

Despite the positive financial results, Foxconn issued a warning regarding the global situation. The company cautioned that the world remains "volatile," suggesting potential uncertainties that could impact future business operations. This statement highlights the complex geopolitical and economic landscape in which global manufacturers operate.

The company's announcement on Sunday detailed its strong performance, reflecting its crucial role in the supply chain for major tech companies and its adaptation to emerging technological trends like AI.
