Foxconn’s Nvidia business is surging while its Apple business shrinks

Taiwan’s Hon Hai Technology Group, better known as Foxconn, said in its second-quarter earnings report that it expects its AI server revenue to more than double in the current quarter, thanks in part to hefty demand from partners like Nvidia. Meanwhile, it expects its consumer electronic business, which includes manufacturing Apple’s iPhones, to shrink.

Behold, the company’s 2025 outlook in slide form:

Back in March, Hon Hai Chairman Young Liu warned of an imminent changing of the guard, with server products poised to assume the top slot as a driver of sales. And in Q2, the company’s server products made up the largest portion of its revenue — 41% — for the first time, while consumer electronics declined to 35%.

Apple has seen sales of its iPhones lose steam, while companies that manufacture AI products can’t keep up with demand.

“Major cloud service providers are raising their spending, and governments around the world are rolling out sovereign AI projects. This shows overall AI demand still outstrips supplies,” Hon Hai rotating CEO Kathy Yang said on the earnings call. “Our group is aggressively expanding our capacity to meet the swiftly growing demand.”

Tariffs remain a concern for the company, which is expanding production in the US in hopes of being exempted.

Overall, Foxconns net income rose 27% last quarter, better than analysts expected, and revenue grew 16%, which was in line with expectations.

Tesla’s EV market share declined to 38% in August

In August, Tesla’s share of the US EV market fell to 38%, according to new data from Cox Automotive reported by Reuters. Tesla’s market share fell below 50% for the first time last year, as competitors’ EVs began hitting the market. Now, as Tesla’s own sales slip more drastically than they had last year, it’s giving up even more ground. Tesla’s market share fell from 48.7% in June to 42% in July to 38% in August, according to Reuters. That slide has come even as buyers rushing to take advantage of the federal tax credit that ends this month provide a near-term boon for sales at Tesla and other EV makers.

OpenAI now expects to burn around $115 billion through 2029 — a full $80 billion higher than the company had previously estimated, The Information reports.

Just how much is that? It’s roughly equivalent to:

Fortunately for OpenAI, which is raising money at a $500 billion valuation, its revenue is also growing faster than expected. The ChatGPT maker now expects to make $13 billion in revenue this year and $200 billion in 2030.
