Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. reported significant revenue growth in January, providing fresh evidence of the global boom in AI infrastructure construction. The performance of this key partner of NVIDIA indicates that demand for data center equipment remains resilient despite market concerns about AI investment returns.
On February 5, Hon Hai announced January revenue reached NT$730.04 billion (US$23 billion), representing a 35.5% year-over-year increase. As a major manufacturer of data center servers, Hon Hai's sales figures are viewed as an important indicator for measuring AI hardware demand.
The company forecasts revenue growth of 28% for the three-month period ending in March. It is noteworthy that year-ago comparison bases may have been affected by the Lunar New Year holiday.
AI demand resilience has exceeded expectations. Hon Hai serves as a critical link in the NVIDIA-centered AI hardware supply chain. The company specializes in manufacturing servers that house chips, which are core components of data centers. As the global wave of AI development continues to advance, Hon Hai directly benefits from ongoing investments in AI infrastructure by technology companies.
Despite industry warnings about overcapacity, Hon Hai's revenue growth demonstrates continued resilience in AI server demand. U.S. technology firms are deploying hardware required for AI at scale, driving sustained procurement of data center servers. This demand strength has partially alleviated market concerns about an AI investment bubble.
