Shareholders of Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., widely known as Foxconn, approved a record-high cash dividend per share of NTUSD 7.2 (USD 0.22) based on the company’s 2025 earnings. This decision was reported by Focus Taiwan CNA on Friday.
The NTUSD 7.2 (USD 0.22) dividend is the largest since the company went public on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1991. With an earnings per share (EPS) of NTUSD 13.61 (USD 0.42) for 2025, the payout ratio stands at 52.90 percent, marking the seventh consecutive year that the company has maintained a payout ratio above 50 percent.
Hon Hai plans to distribute a total of NTUSD 100.93 billion (USD 3.08 billion) in cash dividends. In 2025, the company reported a record net profit of NTUSD 189.35 billion (USD 5.78 billion), an increase of 24 percent from the previous year. Its consolidated sales reached NTUSD 8.1 trillion (USD 247.31 billion), up 18 percent compared to the prior year.
In its annual report, Hon Hai indicated that spending on AI infrastructure is anticipated to grow at a double-digit rate globally this year. The company aims to leverage its robust automated production capabilities and extensive global supply network to support clients involved in AI, as stated by Focus Taiwan CNA.
During the annual shareholder meeting, Hon Hai Chairman Young Liu projected that AI applications will significantly enhance the company’s bottom line, aiming for an EPS exceeding NTUSD 20 (USD 0.61) within two years, following a record of surpassing NTUSD 10 (USD 0.31) for five consecutive years by 2025.
Liu emphasized that AI has been the pivotal growth driver for the company over the last decade, enabling the launch of competitive applications and products in terms of speed, quality, engineering services, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Liu noted that Hon Hai currently holds over a 40 percent share of the global AI server market.
Looking ahead, Liu forecasted that shipments of AI server racks would double in 2026 compared to the previous year, buoyed by over USD 700 billion in capital expenditures by major technology firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta this year.
Hon Hai invests more than NTUSD 100 billion (USD 3.05 billion) annually in research and development, representing 1.5 to 2 percent of its annual revenue, according to Liu. The company operates 241 production sites worldwide, manufacturing a diverse range of products, including electric vehicles (EVs), an AI data center ecosystem, aerospace products, and semiconductors, following a “build, operate, localize” (BOL) model to navigate challenges associated with various tariff policies.
