Goldman Sachs Sees Copper Price Fall in 6-12 Months

Hon Hai reported October revenue of NT$1.31 trillion (about $39.7 billion), up 46% year on year, reflecting continued build-out of global AI infrastructure and sustained demand for Nvidia servers. September revenue rose 38% year on year to a record NT$1.16 trillion, lifting third-quarter revenue 47% to NT$3.03 trillion, 7% above market expectations. Cloud and networking, driven by AI server demand, were again the main growth engine, with computing products and components also growing. Consumer electronics revenue was flat despite higher average iPhone prices. Analysts expect growth momentum to extend into Q4 as Vera Rubin shipments ramp up and seasonal IT factors lend support.
