As Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) prepares to report its first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, investor attention remains fixed on the fallout from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">U.S. export restrictions on chip sales to China</a>. However, the chipmaker may have a few surprises in store.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Nvidia published a blog post on one of Dell Technologies Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) U.S. factories, which it says can ship &#8220;thousands of Blackwell GPUs to customers in a week.&#8221;
Dell&#8217;s partnership with Nvidia essentially involves supplying racks, cooling, and storage, mounted with the latter&#8217;s prized GPUs. Volume growth reported by Dell can thus be seen as a reflection of demand dynamics in AI infrastructure, while also serving as a proxy for Nvidia&#8217;s momentum.

In the blog post, Nvidia mentions an order for 100,000 units of Blackwell GPUs by CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), which is set for delivery within the next 6 weeks, worth over $3 billion.
This comes amid the export curbs on China, which are expected to hit <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45612246/nvidia-to-be-hit-by-china-chip-export-curbs-or-deliver-q2-guidance-surprise-after-middle-east-dealmaking-heres-what-charts-show-ahead-of-q1-results">the company&#8217;s earnings</a> to the tune of $5.5 billion, resulting in its first earnings estimate decline in years.
In addition to geopolitical headwinds, the company was weighed down by persistent technical issues with the GB200 Blackwell racks, resulting in delayed shipments. 
However, these issues were resolved by the company&#8217;s partners, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), Inventec Corp., Wistron Corp., and Dell Technologies through a series of technical breakthroughs, allowing them to ramp up production towards the tail end of the first quarter, according to a report <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/26ad4a47-aefd-4a96-9605-275027f83b53">by</a> the Financial Times.
While analysts expect the company&#8217;s gross margins to drop from 71% to 58% as a result of the China hit, even just a sliver of the high-margin Blackwell silicon accruing towards the end of the quarter can help soften the blow.
Similarly, these factors should help the company provide a better-than-expected guidance for the second quarter, as it begins shipping the GB200 racks at volume. 
Why It Matters: In addition to this, Nvidia has unlocked several other tailwinds in recent weeks that should help offset the losses from China export curbs.
Starting with a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45636302/nvidia-amd-stand-to-gain-big-as-japan-proposes-about-7-billion-us-chip-deal-in-tariff-talks-report">$7 billion chip deal</a> with Japan, in a bid to reduce the nation&#8217;s massive trade surplus with the United States, which stands to benefit the company significantly.
This comes just days after a mega <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45602111/600b-ai-opportunity-nvidias-18000-chip-deal-with-saudi-arabias-humain-puts-middle-east-front-of-the-line-says-wedbushs-dan-ives">18,000-chip deal</a> with Saudi Arabia&#8217;s AI startup, Humain, backed by the Kingdom&#8217;s Public Investment Fund.
The company also plans to release a <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45605521/after-jensen-huang-criticized-us-export-curbs-nvidia-set-to-launch-cheaper-blackwell-ai-chip-for-china-amid-market-share-slide-report">significantly cheaper AI chip</a> for the Chinese market, in a bid to circumvent U.S. export restrictions. 
This, however, is expected to take a while to materialize, with the company saying that &#8220;until we settle on a new product design and receive approval from the U.S. government, we are effectively foreclosed from China's $50 billion data center market.&#8221;
Price Action: Nvidia shares were up 3.21% on Tuesday, trading at $135.50, and are up 0.09% after hours, ahead of the company&#8217;s first quarter earnings release. Dell shares were up 1.68% on Tuesday, trading at $113.99, and are down 0.34% after hours.

Dell's Early Blackwell Shipments Of 'Thousands Of GPUs A Week' May Lift Nvidia Margins, Boost Q2 Guidance

Veteran financial commentator, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, is sounding an alarm for investors, suggesting that the performance of tech giants Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) this week will be a critical indicator for the broader market&#8217;s health.
What Happened: In a recent post on X, Cramer urged followers to &#8220;Watch Apple. If it doesn&#8217;t go up as much as the market, really bad sign for key holding.&#8221; His warning extends to Nvidia, which is set to report earnings this week on Wednesday, stating, &#8220;Same with Nvidia as it reports this week.&#8221;
Cramer&#8217;s comments highlight the significant influence these two companies, often considered market &#8220;bellwethers,&#8221; wield over overall investor sentiment and portfolio performance.
On Friday, Trump demanded that iPhones sold in the U.S. be manufactured domestically, threatening a 25% tariff otherwise.

Why It Matters: Adding to the cautious tone, Cramer also noted a challenging environment for new investments, stating, &#8220;Now the futures are officially so high that you can&#8217;t buy anything that&#8217;s up big.&#8221;
This suggests that current market valuations are stretched, making it difficult for investors to find attractive entry points for stocks that have already seen significant gains.

Jim Cramer Warns Market Could Be In Trouble If Apple, Nvidia Stocks Slide This Week: 'Really Bad Sign'

Prominent short seller Jim Chanos has challenged the U.S. government&#8217;s manufacturing aspirations, highlighting the economic realities keeping iPhone production overseas.
What Happened: Chanos responded with skepticism to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick&#8216;s vision of bringing iPhone manufacturing to American soil. 
Chanos&#8217; remarks came after Lutnick suggested that with artificial intelligence and automation, the U.S. could create hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs with salaries ranging from $75,000 to $150,000 under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), employees in China assembling Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) phones were reportedly seen as &#8220;too expensive&#8221; at $3 an hour in 2023. Chanos wrote, &#8220;Does the Commerce Secretary really think those $3/hour jobs are coming back to the U.S.?&#8221;

That factory is a block away.&#8221;
Despite manufacturing concerns, the Trump administration recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44882019/apple-ceo-tim-cooks-dialogue-with-commerce-secretary-lutnick-secured-tariff-exemption-for-iphones-and-electronics-report">exempted Apple&#8217;s China-produced electronics </a>from import duties following discussions between CEO Tim Cook and White House officials.

Short Seller Jim Chanos Slams Trump's Reindustrialization Hopes: Says $3-Per-Hour Apple Supplier Foxconn Workers Were 'Too Expensive' — Questions If 'Those Jobs Are Coming Back'

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;looks to import most of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/apple-iphone" rel="noreferrer noopener">the iPhones it</a> sells in the U.S. from India by the end of 2026.
The iPhone maker will need to double its annual iPhone output in India to over 80 million units, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-25/apple-aims-to-build-most-iphones-for-us-in-india-by-end-of-2026?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Friday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Apple assembled over 40 million iPhones in India in fiscal 2025 ended March 2025. According to the report, It sold over 60 million iPhones annually in the U.S.

Apple&#8217;s plans symbolize its pivot from China, which was triggered by the 2020 pandemic, which disrupted global supply chains. U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff policies&nbsp;and geopolitical tensions with China have also prompted Apple to intensify that effort.
Apple assembled $22 billion worth of iPhones in India in the 12 months ended March, increasing production by nearly 60%. Apple now makes 20% of iPhones in India. Still, China remains its most significant production base.
Apple supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) (operating as Foxconn Technology) assembled most of its India-made iPhones in Foxconn&#8217;s southern India factory.&nbsp;

In addition, if Apple has to pay reciprocal tariffs to import sub-assemblies into the U.S., he noted that the total cost of an iPhone would increase by more than 90%.
Mohan also highlighted that moving the final assembly to the US, including the entire iPhone supply chain, would likely take many years.
Apple reportedly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44706383/apple-airlifts-iphones-from-india-and-china-in-72-hour-race-to-beat-trumps-tariffs-as-stock-sinks-amid-us-china-trade-panic" rel="noreferrer noopener">transported five planeloads</a> of iPhones and other products from manufacturing centers in India and China to the U.S. in late Match within 72 hours to avoid Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;new 10% reciprocal tariff on imports, which took effect on April 5.

Apple Plans iPhone Shift From China To India Amid Tariff Pressures, Geopolitical Risks: Report

Foxconn Technology Group, also known as Hon Hai Precision (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), is poised to make significant strides in the electric vehicle market, announcing a strategic seminar in Japan on Apr. 9 to demonstrate its manufacturing capabilities and court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43685566/apple-supplier-foxconn-considers-buying-nissan-shares-but-only-if-an-ev-deal-is-in-place">potential automotive partnerships</a>. 
What Happened: The Taiwan-based contract manufacturer, known for producing iPhones for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and AI servers for Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), is leveraging its newly hired Chief EV Strategy Officer Jun Seki, a former Nissan executive, to showcase its automotive ambitions, Reuters reported, citing sources. 
The upcoming seminar represents a critical moment in Foxconn&#8217;s five-year EV manufacturing journey.
A landmark deal with Mitsubishi Motors marks a significant breakthrough for Foxconn&#8217;s automotive strategy. The contract involves manufacturing electric vehicles for sale in Oceania markets, including Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. 
Foxconn did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This partnership comes at a crucial time when Japan&#8217;s automotive industry is facing increasing competition from agile Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>).
The company&#8217;s EV joint venture, Foxtron, established with Taiwan&#8217;s Yulon, currently counts Luxgen as its primary client. Meanwhile, Foxconn is exploring broader strategic opportunities, including potential share acquisitions in established automotive companies like Nissan, contingent upon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43685566/apple-supplier-foxconn-considers-buying-nissan-shares-but-only-if-an-ev-deal-is-in-place">securing robust EV manufacturing partnerships</a>.
Price Action: Hon Hai Precision is trading at 160.50 TWD ($4.85), down 3.31% on Thursday on the Taiwan Exchange as of 1.30 pm local time.

Nvidia And Apple Supplier Foxconn To Present EV Plans At Japan Seminar Following Mitsubishi Deal: Report

Foxconn Technology Group, also known as Hon Hai Precision (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)  Apple Inc.&#8216;s primary iPhone manufacturer, confirmed Wednesday it would consider acquiring Renault&#8217;s stake in Nissan Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) as part of a broader strategy to expand its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43566305/deal-dispatch-pharmchem-forgoes-banker-to-run-sale-tgi-fridays-sells-19-restaurants-for-3-1-million">electric vehicle manufacturing business</a>.
What Happened: Chairman Young Liu revealed the company has held discussions about acquiring Nissan shares, though emphasized that any potential stake purchase would be contingent on securing EV manufacturing partnerships with either Nissan or Renault, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f6a9cfb0-edba-4336-a2c1-e67238c5ccea">reported</a> the Financial Times. 
&#8220;If [taking a stake] is necessary for co-operation, we will consider it, but buying shares is not our main goal,&#8221; Liu said.
The Taiwanese contract manufacturer is targeting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report">announcement of a cooperation deal</a> within two months, with Renault, Nissan, and Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) among potential partners. The news sent Nissan shares down 6.3% in Tokyo trading.

Why It Matters: This development comes as Renault looks to divest half of its 36% stake in Nissan, currently held in a French trust, following their alliance restructuring in 2023.
Former Nissan executive and current Foxconn EV division chief strategy officer Jun Seki reportedly met with Renault CEO Luca De Meo in December to discuss the potential share acquisition.
The talks emerge amid broader industry shifts, with Nissan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report">recently ending merger discussions</a> with Honda that would have created the world&#8217;s fourth-largest automotive group.
Nissan faces mounting pressure from Chinese competition and has announced plans to cut 9,000 jobs and reduce production capacity by 20% as part of its turnaround strategy.
For Foxconn, securing a deal with either Renault or Nissan would mark its first partnership with a traditional automaker outside Taiwan, potentially accelerating its expansion into EV contract manufacturing beyond its current partnerships with startups.

Apple Supplier Foxconn Considers Buying Nissan Shares, But Only If An EV Deal Is In Place

Charlie Giancarlo, CEO of Pure Storage, has raised concerns about U.S. tax laws pushing companies to relocate their operations abroad. This comes as businesses strive to maintain competitiveness in the global market.
What Happened: Giancarlo highlighted in an interview that current U.S. tax policies are forcing companies to consider moving their operations overseas. He pointed out that while tariffs have offered some relief, they are not the ultimate solution, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/tech-pure-storage-ceo-interview-taxes-manufacturing-005625f7">reported</a> on Monday.
"It's a set of different tax laws and labor laws and so forth that make manufacturing in the U.S. economically a competitive disadvantage," he said.
Pure Storage has adopted a global manufacturing approach, with significant operations in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the U.S., collaborating with outsourcing partners like Foxconn (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>). The company, which serves 60% of Fortune 500 firms, including Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), and NASA, is closely monitoring potential tax reforms under President-elect Donald Trump. S&amp;P Global suggests that a reduced corporate tax rate could boost domestic production and reduce overseas business activities.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders</a>
However, S&amp;P Global also notes the uncertainty surrounding the broader economic impact of such tax changes. Companies like Pure Storage are awaiting new tariffs and trade policies to assess the future U.S. tax landscape.
Why It Matters: The discussion around U.S. tax policies is gaining momentum as Donald Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41885777/how-trumps-tax-cuts-tariffs-animal-spirits-could-shape-sp-500-earnings"> return to the White House</a> brings potential pro-business policies into focus. Analysts are adjusting their forecasts for S&amp;P 500 earnings, considering Trump&#8217;s possible policy changes, which include tax cuts and deregulation. However, trade tariffs on Chinese imports remain a potential threat to corporate earnings.
Trump&#8217;s proposal to lower the federal corporate tax <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41291635/are-trumps-proposed-corporate-tax-cuts-the-key-to-unleashing-a-stock-market-boom-heres-what-history">rate from 21% to 15%</a> has sparked debate. Some view it as a catalyst for economic growth and a stock market boom, while others remain skeptical. Historical data suggests that such tax cuts could increase U.S. GDP by 0.4% and create approximately 93,000 full-time jobs, according to the Tax Foundation.

Nvidia, Apple Suppliers Prepare For Policy Shifts, Japan's AI Leap, And AMD's Workforce Cut: This Week In AI

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) key suppliers — Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), popularly known as Foxconn, Pegatron Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGTRF#OTC">PGTRF</a>), and Quanta Computer (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUCCF#OTC">QUCCF</a>) — plan to quickly increase U.S. investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future">should trade policies shift</a> under Donald Trump&#8217;s second term.
What Happened: Foxconn chairman Young Liu announced on Thursday that the company is ready to expand its U.S. operations. The company is a leading contract electronics manufacturer and has substantial production bases in Texas, Wisconsin, and Ohio.
&#8220;We can very quickly adjust&nbsp;our investment if necessary,&#8221; Liu said at an investor&#8217;s conference, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Supply-Chain/Nvidia-and-Apple-suppliers-ready-to-boost-U.S.-investments-under-Trump">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.
Pegatron, a key supplier to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Apple, is also prepared to respond swiftly to any policy changes.

Quanta Computer&#8217;s cloud-computing subsidiary, QCT, is ready to expand its manufacturing capacity in California if needed, said the company&#8217;s president, Mike Yang.
&#8220;We have continued to expand our capacity there in the past two years and have space to further expand anytime if needed. We also have a footprint in Thailand as well.&#8221;
Why It Matters: During his campaign, Trump underscored his &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda and warned of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41953220/dollar-powers-to-4-month-highs-against-yen-trump-tariff-expectations-spark-carry-trade-frenzy">potential tariffs on various countries</a>, creating uncertainty for the tech supply chain.
Despite these political uncertainties, Foxconn and other leading tech suppliers continue to view artificial intelligence as the key growth driver for the industry through 2025, the report noted.
The stock market and cryptocurrency sector have seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41912771/trump-presidency-magnificent-7-stock-impact-benzinga-readers-pick-tech-titan-at-most-risk-following-2024-election">significant growth since Trump&#8217;s victory</a>, with major U.S. stock indexes hitting record highs since Trump&#8217;s win against Vice President Kamala Harris.

&#8220;Chips and information and telecommunications products are what the U.S. needs most. I don't think the United States would penalize Taiwan,&#8221; he said during a legislative session on Thursday.

What Happened: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Young Liu said that the six operational pillars outlined at the beginning of this year, ranging from information and communications technology, and new business development to global footprint and ESG practice were implemented according to plan, despite a few challenges.
Liu also highlighted the important influencing factors to observe next year, which include, are monetary policy, inflation and the political and economic situation. &#8220;In addition, with global economic growth expected to slow down next year, the group will hold a relatively neutral view on the outlook for ICT in 2024. Hon Hai will do its best to maintain operational stability, meet customer needs, and leverage the company&#8217;s strengths,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: &#8220;Hon Hai is transforming from a manufacturing service company into a platform solution company,&#8221; added Liu. The company&#8217;s proposed focus areas for the future include developing platforms for smart cities, smart manufacturing and smart electric vehicles.
With the ongoing artificial intelligence boom, the company said that it will focus on developing its three major platforms powered by AI factories. The AI factories will analyze a large amount of data and generate various new application content or solutions through self-learning.

Apple's Key Supplier Foxconn's Gross Profit Hit 7 Year High In Q3, Aims To Expand AI Capabilities By Next Year

Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), widely known as Foxconn and a major Apple Inc. supplier, is set to expand its presence in Vietnam with an $80 million investment through its subsidiary, Shunsin.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to a document from Vietnam&#8217;s environment ministry, Shunsin aims to build a plant in Bac Giang province focused on producing integrated circuits, reported Reuters. 
The facility is expected to begin full-scale operations by December 2026, targeting an annual output of 4.5 million units.
Foxconn did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
The products from this plant will be exported primarily to the United States, the European Union, and Japan. This new investment follows Foxconn's July approval to invest $383 million in another facility in Vietnam for printed circuit boards.
Since entering Vietnam in the early 2000s, Foxconn has invested over $3.2 billion, with most of its facilities located in northern provinces like Bac Ninh and Bac Giang. Shunsin has not yet commented on the development.

Election Interference, Superchip Factories, And Trillion-Dollar Opportunities: AI Takes Center Stage

See-sawing mood persists on Wall Street as the index futures point to a marginally lower start on Wednesday after the tech-led rebound witnessed in the previous session. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is advancing in premarket and the rest of the big techs were just about higher. Commodities are weakening and bond yields are easing. Federal Reserve&#8217;s September rate-setting meeting minutes, speeches by Fed officials and developments around Hurricane Milton&#8217;s landfall in Florida could be on traders&#8217; radar.
Some may choose to move to the sidelines ahead of Thursday&#8217;s consumer price inflation report which is expected to show a further easing in pricing pressure. Some key earnings reports are also expected to drop over the next two sessions, which is likely to give early indications regarding how this reporting season will pan out.

US Stocks Set To Open Marginally Lower, Nvidia Gains, Traders Eye Fed Minutes: Strategist Predicts Many More Years Of Gains Ahead Of Bull Market's 2nd Anniversary

Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) the company, which is popularly called Foxconn is gearing up to construct the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41209333/jensen-huang-on-china-sanctions-were-exporting-american-technology-which-is-really-terrific-for-the">largest manufacturing facility</a> for Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GB200 chip.
What Happened: This initiative is aimed at meeting the substantial demand for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell platform, as revealed by a senior executive on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
The Taiwanese electronics powerhouse, known for assembling products for Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), is seizing the artificial intelligence wave by also venturing into server production. Benjamin Ting, Foxconn&#8217;s senior vice president for the cloud enterprise solutions business group, underscored the vital collaboration with Nvidia.
&#8220;We&#8217;re building the largest GB200 production facility on the planet &#8211; I don&#8217;t think I can say where now,&#8221; Ting stated during Foxconn&#8217;s annual tech day in Taipei. He emphasized the high demand for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell platform, alongside Nvidia&#8217;s vice president for AI and robotics, Deepu Talla.

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu confirmed that the company&#8217;s supply chain is ready for the AI revolution. Liu also highlighted Foxconn&#8217;s advanced liquid cooling and heat dissipation technologies, which are crucial for supporting the GB200 server infrastructure.
Why It Matters: The construction of this massive facility comes at a time when Nvidia is facing challenges due to U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41209333/jensen-huang-on-china-sanctions-were-exporting-american-technology-which-is-really-terrific-for-the">sanctions against China</a>. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has discussed the impact of these sanctions on the company&#8217;s business, emphasizing the importance of balancing national security with technological advancement.
Additionally, Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell GPU platform is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41149666/nvidias-blackwell-gpu-sets-new-ai-benchmark-with-over-100-system-configurations-ana">setting new benchmarks in AI</a>, with over 100 system configurations, according to a JPMorgan analyst. This positions Nvidia for a strong fiscal fourth quarter, despite earlier product yield issues.
Moreover, Foxconn has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40360707/apple-nvidia-supplier-foxconn-clocks-record-june-quarter-revenue-as-net-margin-slips-issues-upbeat-">reported record revenues</a>, driven by strong demand for AI servers. The company&#8217;s focus on AI technology aligns with its strategic goals, as it aims to capitalize on the growing AI market.

Apple Supplier Foxconn To Build World's Largest Nvidia Superchip Factory Amid Soaring AI Demand

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares are moving higher Wednesday. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40917539/while-apple-abandoned-its-car-project-after-pouring-1b-into-it-its-key-supplier-foxconn-is-now-colla">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In significant economic development, the Federal Reserve instituted a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down"> 50 basis points cut</a>, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.75%–5%. This unexpected move, marking the first rate reduction in more than four years, reflects the Fed&#8217;s greater confidence in managing inflation. 
The Fed also revised its economic growth forecast for 2024 down to 2%. Inflation projections for the same year were also lowered, while unemployment rates were revised upward through 2026.
Future Rate Path: The updated Dot Plot suggests another 50 basis points in cuts in 2024 and an additional 100 basis points by the end of 2025, highlighting a more aggressive easing approach compared to previous projections. This outlook signals a significant shift from the Fed's earlier stance and impacts projections for economic metrics over the next few years.

What Else: The company formerly abandoned its electric vehicle (EV) project after significant investments. In contrast, its key supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd &#8211; ADR, also known as Foxconn, (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) is advancing in the EV market. Foxconn, collaborating with Sharp, recently unveiled the LDK+ electric vehicle prototype. Designed with a room-like interior, the LDK+ aims to serve as a personal space, highlighting the evolving role of vehicles in the autonomous driving era.
Foxconn demonstrated strategic acumen by focusing on modular EV platforms that allow for cost-efficient, unique model creation. The company has also approved a $246 million investment in Northern Vietnam for manufacturing EV parts, with operations expected to start in January 2025. This investment underscores Foxconn's commitment to enhancing its production capabilities and positioning itself as a notable player in the EV industry.
AAPL Price Action: Apple shares closed Wednesday up 1.80% at $220.69, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Apple Shares Are Trading Higher Today: What You Need To Know

Sharp has revealed an innovative electric vehicle prototype, the LDK+, developed in collaboration with its parent company Foxconn (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>). The announcement was made on Tuesday during Sharp Tech-Day in Tokyo.
What Happened: The LDK+ concept car integrates the functionality of a traditional vehicle with a room-like interior, aiming to provide a new style of mobility. Sharp&#8217;s Chief Technical Officer, Mototaka Taneya, emphasized the growing importance of cars as personal spaces, especially with the advent of autonomous driving technology, Nikkei Asia<a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Electric-vehicles/Sharp-and-Foxconn-s-EV-prototype-shows-new-way-of-vehicle-design"> reported</a> on Wednesday.
Sharp&#8217;s design allows the vehicle&#8217;s interior to be used effectively even when parked, transforming it into a personal space for work or leisure. Features include a rotatable rear seat, a Sharp LCD display, and windows that can turn opaque for privacy. The car also uses AI to adjust air conditioning and lighting based on user preferences.

The LDK+ is built on an EV platform developed by Foxconn, which has been focusing on the EV market. Foxconn&#8217;s Chief Strategy Officer for EVs, Jun Seki, highlighted the cost-efficiency of this modular approach, allowing companies to create unique models without heavy investments.
Sharp&#8217;s entry into the EV market comes amid industry challenges, with growth slowing and automakers adjusting their strategies. Despite these hurdles, Seki expressed optimism about the future of EVs, predicting significant market growth by 2027.
Why It Matters: The collaboration between Foxconn and Sharp represents a significant step in the evolving electric vehicle market. Foxconn, a major supplier for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/05/27467741/apple-supplier-foxconn-is-aiming-to-compete-with-tesla-and-nio-in-the-electric-vehicle-segment">making strategic moves</a> to diversify its portfolio and enter the EV sector while Apple itself abandoned its EV project after pouring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37528093/apple-poured-1b-a-year-into-car-project-concocted-by-steve-jobs-for-a-decade-before-realizing-it-nee">over a billion dollars</a> into it in February. In May 2022, Foxconn&#8217;s chairman, Liu Young-way, expressed confidence in overcoming supply chain challenges and aimed to become the first EV maker not affected by material shortages. This ambition aligns with their broader strategy to compete with established EV manufacturers like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>).
Furthermore, Foxconn&#8217;s recent approval to invest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/06/33075575/foxconn-plans-246m-investment-in-northern-vietnam-for-manufacturing-ev-parts-report">$246 million in Northern Vietnam </a>for manufacturing EV parts underscores their commitment to this market. The investment will focus on producing EV chargers and components, starting in January 2025. This move is expected to enhance Foxconn&#8217;s production capabilities and support its goal of becoming a key player in the EV industry.

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares have barely budged to the<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40780100/apple-intelligence-ready-iphone-16-with-faster-processor-dedicated-camera-button-announced-check-pri?_gl=1&#x2A;1z0lss1&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;MTUyOTg5MDU4NS4xNzI1ODcyMjEz&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;NzYzMTQ0NDEyLjE2ODY5ODEzNzg.&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcyNjY0MTgwNy4yMDY3LjEuMTcyNjY0ODg1Mi4wLjAuMA.."> Glowtime hardware launch event held on Sept. 9,</a> and a portfolio manager on Tuesday offered &#8220;Mea Culpa&#8221; for his short-term stance on the stock.
What Happened: Very early indications point to a nearly 10% year-over-year decline in the sales of the iPhone 16, the newest iteration of Apple&#8217;s flagship product, said portfolio manager and founder of Niles Investment Management Dan Niles. This is in contrast to expectations that the addition of the artificial intelligence features will drive 10% sales growth, he said.
Quoting famous American researcher, scientist and futurist Roy Amara&#8217;s law, Nile said, &#8220;We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.&#8221; 
The portfolio manager noted that Apple&#8217;s price/earnings multiple calculated on calendar year 2024 earnings expanded from 24 times to 31 times, primarily on AI expectations. &#8220;It is hard to argue for valuation support at current levels,&#8221; he said. 
While noting that &#8220;a crucial trait for successful investing is admitting when you are wrong and moving on,&#8221; Nile said. &#8220;I think I am wrong in the short run but have a feeling that I will be back in the long run.&#8221;
Ahead of the Apple event, Niles had said this time around Apple stock could go against the grain on the launch day. He based his expectation on Apple supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) reporting 33% year-over-year revenue growth for August, which was the highest quarterly growth for the company of the year.
&#8220;While historically $AAPL product launches are sell the news events, this AI-focused event on 9/9 has a chance to buck the trend,&#8221; he had said then.

AI Undeniable Prop: Nile said Apple Intelligence will be a pulling point for consumers. &#8220;I believe consumers will want AI functionality available to them 24/7 and the smartphone is the one piece of technology that we have with us all the time.&#8221;
Weighing in on the early softness, the strategist said with the staggered rollout of AI across geographies, AI features will be available to consumers in China, a key market, only in 2025.
He also noted that the promotion of the new phones by the U.S. wireless carriers is not much different than last year.
Niles&#8217; views echo that of tech venture capitalist Gene Munster. In a recent note, he said he expects iPhone revenue to rise 15% in fiscal year 2025, more than double the 7% growth the Street currently models. Munster sees growth accelerating slightly to 17% in the next fiscal compared to the Street forecast of 8% growth.
&#8220;The most significant factor in my estimate is my belief that 8% of the iPhone installed base will upgrade early in FY25, and 14% in FY26,&#8221; he had said. The tech specialist, however, sees a slowdown to 5% each in fiscal years 2027 and 2028. 
In premarket trading on Wednesday, Apple shares fell 0.44% to $215.83, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data. </a>The stock has added 13% for the year-to-date period, underperforming the 19% gain for the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index.

Apple Stock Reaction After iPhone Launch Sparks Portfolio Manager's Reflection: 'I May Be Wrong In The Short Term But...Will Be Back In The Long Run'

Even as index futures suggest a cautious start on Wednesday, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) &#8211; two companies with significant exposure to artificial intelligence technology, advanced strongly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket">in premarket trading</a> on Wednesday.
The premarket strength may be attributable to comments from Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>), which is a supplier to big tech companies such as Nvidia and Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). The Taipei, Taiwan-based company reported record June quarter revenue, with AI server revenue rising by 60% sequentially due to strong customer demand.
Also, Hon Hai, popularly known as Foxconn, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40360707/apple-nvidia-supplier-foxconn-clocks-record-june-quarter-revenue-as-net-margin-slips-issues-upbeat-">said the development schedule</a> of Nvidia&#8217;s GB200 rack is on track. &#8220;Foxconn will definitely be the first supplier to deliver and shipments should begin in the fourth quarter. If the schedule remains unchanged, the performance of the entire AI server segment may be better than originally estimated,&#8221; said Foxconn Vice President and Spokesperson James Wu.

Incidentally, earlier this month, a report by The Information said the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152477/nvidia-upcoming-chip-launch-faces-delay-due-to-design-flaws-setback-expected-to-impact-meta-microsof">Blackwell B200 AI chips will take at least three months longer</a> to produce than was planned due to a design flaw identified late in the production process. Foxconn&#8217;s update should allay some concerns surrounding the delay.
Delving into its outlook, Foxconn said strong demand for AI servers is expected to continue. &#8220;We maintain our view that AI servers will contribute to 40% of overall server revenue this year,&#8221; Wu said, adding &#8220;AI servers should soon become Foxconn's next trillion-dollar revenue product.&#8221;
This is higher than the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39178960/exclusive-apple-suppliers-subsidiary-behind-supercomputer-donated-to-openai-predicts-ai-server-sales">30% contribution that AI servers currently make</a> towards Foxconn&#8217;s revenue, as the company&#8217;s deputy spokesperson Jimmy Huang told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> earlier in June at the Computex technology show in Taiwan.
Nvidia is scheduled to report its second-quarter results after the market close on August 28 and strategists see the report as a key catalyst that can keep the market rally. Super Micro, which manufactures AI servers, reported in early August a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40213937/why-ai-server-maker-super-micro-computers-stock-is-plummeting-over-12-in-premarket">fiscal fourth-quarter earnings miss</a>, sending its stock sharply lower. The stock fell a little over 20% in earnings reaction before rebounding from the low.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Nvidia stock rose 1.76% to $118.18 and Super Micro climbed 1.74% to $577.31 in premarket trading, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Nvidia, Super Micro Computer Surge In Pre-Market: What's Powering AI Stalwarts' Stocks?

The major index futures are pointing to a nervous start ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40323092/feds-interest-rate-decision-will-incoming-july-inflation-data-tip-the-scale">consumer price inflation report </a>that is due at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Bond yields are slipping ahead of the inflation data. If the report confirms a continued let-up in pricing pressure, the Federal Reserve may be forced to cut rates. Economists and strategists expect Fed Chair Jerome Powell to render more clarity on the rate outlook at the Jackson Hole symposium scheduled for later this month.
Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic, however, suggested he would want to see more evidence before the rate could be taken down from its 22-year high. 
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd.&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) commentary about strong AI server demand could lend support to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other AI-levered tech stocks.

Cues From Last Session: 
Stocks raced out of the gate on Tuesday after a tamer-than-expected producer price inflation report perked up risk appetite. The VIX at one point in time pulled back below the 18 level. All three major averages opened higher and advanced further over the course of trading before ending notably higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 indices closed at their highest levels since Aug. 1. In the process, the S&amp;P 500 posted the biggest four-day rally for the year. 
Technical analyst and CNBC contributor Frank Cappelleri noted that the S&amp;P 500 has advanced 4.8% over six sessions, the best six-day gain since the 6% rise between Oct. 30, 2023 and Nov. 6, 2023.

 Insights From Analysts:
Commenting on the market recovery post-Monday&#8217;s meltdown, fund manager Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Barring any major geopolitical surprises, it appears likely that the recovery from the recent correction will continue, though with caution rather than the strong melt-ups we&#8217;ve seen this year.&#8221;
&#8220;The NVIDIA earnings on Aug. 28 will be pivotal to a full recovery,&#8221; he said.  
Upcoming Economic Data:
The July consumer price inflation report is the lone piece of first-tier data due on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s how the expectations compare to the prior periods:

폭스콘 테크놀로지 그룹(Foxconn Technology Group) 또는 혼하이 정밀공업(Hon Hai Precision)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)은 4월 9일 일본에서 전략 세미나를 개최하여 제조 능력을 입증하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43685566/apple-supplier-foxconn-considers-buying-nissan-shares-but-only-if-an-ev-deal-is-in-place" target="_blank" rel="noopener">잠재적인 자동차 파트너십</a>을 모색함으로써 전기차 시장에서 큰 진전을 이루고자 한다.
무슨 일 있었나: 대만에 본사를 둔 계약 제조업체인 폭스콘은 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)을 위한 아이폰과 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)를 위한 AI 서버를 생산하고 있다. 로이터 통신은 폭스콘이 자동차 사업에 진출하기 위해 닛산 자동차의 전 임원이었던 준 세키를 최고 전기차 전략 책임자로 새로 영입했다고 소식통을 인용해 보도했다.
다가오는 세미나가 폭스콘의 5년 전기차 제조 여정에서 중요한 전환점이 될 것이다.
미쓰비시 자동차와의 획기적인 계약은 폭스콘의 자동차 전략에 있어 중요한 돌파구이다. 해당 계약은 호주, 뉴질랜드, 대만 등 오세아니아 시장에서 판매될 전기 자동차의 제조를 포함한다.
폭스콘은 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가</a>의 논평 요청에 즉시 응답하지 않았다.
왜 중요한가: 폭스콘과 미쓰비시의 파트너십은 일본의 자동차 산업이 BYD(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) 같은 민첩한 중국 제조사와 경쟁하는 중요한 시기에 이루어졌다.
대만의 유론(Yulon)과 함께 설립한 전기차 합작 회사인 폭스트론(Foxtron)은 현재 럭스젠(Luxgen)을 주요 고객으로 두고 있다. 한편, 폭스콘은 닛산과 같은 기존 자동차 회사에 대한 잠재적 지분 인수를 포함하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43685566/apple-supplier-foxconn-considers-buying-nissan-shares-but-only-if-an-ev-deal-is-in-place" target="_blank" rel="noopener">강력한 전기차 제조 파트너십 확보</a>에 따라 더 광범위한 전략적 기회를 모색하고 있다.
주가 움직임: 폭스콘 주가는 대만 증시에서 현지 시간 오후 1시 30분 기준 3.31% 하락한 160.50 TWD($4.85)에 거래되고 있다.

폭스콘 테크놀로지 그룹(Hon Hai Precision)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)은 애플의 주요 아이폰 제조업체로, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43566305/deal-dispatch-pharmchem-forgoes-banker-to-run-sale-tgi-fridays-sells-19-restaurants-for-3-1-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">전기차 제조 사업</a>으로 확장하기 위한 광범위한 전략의 일환으로서 닛산 자동차에 대한 르노의 지분 인수를 고려할 것이라고 수요일(12일) 밝혔다.
무슨 일 있었나: 영 리우 폭스콘 회장은 회사가 닛산 주식 인수를 논의하고 있다고 밝혔지만, 잠재적 지분 매입은 닛산이나 르노와의 전기차 제조 파트너십 확보에 달려 있다고 강조했다고 파이낸셜타임스가 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f6a9cfb0-edba-4336-a2c1-e67238c5ccea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다</a>.
영 리우는 "협력에 지분 확보가 필요하다면 고려해 보겠지만, 주식 매입이 우리의 주요 목표는 아니다&#8221;라고 말했다.
폭스콘은 르노, 닛산, 혼다 자동차 등 잠재적 파트너들과 2개월 이내에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">협력 계약 체결을 발표</a>할 계획이다. 이 소식으로 도쿄 거래에서 닛산 주가는 6.3% 하락했다.
왜 중요한가: 르노가 2023년 제휴 구조 조정 이후 현재 프랑스 신탁에 보유하고 있는 닛산 지분 36%의 절반을 매각할 계획인 가운데, 이러한 움직임이 나타났다.
닛산의 전직 임원이며 현재 폭스콘의 전기차 사업부 최고전략책임자인 준 세키(Jun Seki)가 12월에 르노의 CEO인 루카 드 메오(Luca De Meo)를 만나 잠재적인 주식 인수를 논의한 것으로 알려졌다.
닛산이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 세계 4위의 자동차 그룹을 만들 수 있는 혼다와의 합병 논의</a>를 종료한 가운데 폭스콘과의 논의가 이루어졌다.
닛산은 중국 경쟁업체의 압박이 커지고 있는 상황에서 경영 정상화 전략의 일환으로 9,000명의 일자리를 감축하고 생산 능력을 20% 줄이겠다는 계획을 발표했다.
폭스콘의 경우, 르노나 닛산과 계약을 체결하면 대만 이외의 전통적인 자동차 제조업체와 맺은 첫 번째 파트너십을 맺게 되며, 현재 신생 기업과의 파트너십을 넘어 전기 자동차 계약 제조로 사업을 확장할 수 있는 잠재력을 갖게 된다.

엔비디아의 블랙웰 칩 매출 전망
엔비디아의 3분기 실적 발표를 앞두고, 모건 스탠리의 애널리스트 조셉 무어(Joseph Moore)가 회사의 전망을 미리 제시했다. 새로운 제품의 공급 제약에도 불구하고, 무어는 1월 분기에 블랙웰 칩만으로 수십억 달러의 매출이 예상된다고 예측하며, 보다 구체적으로는 50억 달러에서 60억 달러 사이의 수치를 제시했다.

AI 역량 정체, 안드리센 호로위츠 창립자 말하다
벤처 캐피털 회사 앤드리슨 호로위츠(Andreessen Horowitz)의 창립자들은 AI 역량이 정체 상태에 있다고 언급하면서 데이터 부족과 계산 한계를 주요 장벽으로 지적했다. 이는 오픈AI와 세이프 슈퍼인텔리전스(SSI)의 공동 창립자인 일리야 서츠케버(Ilya Sutskever)가 전통적인 AI 스케일링 접근 방식의 결과가 정체되었다고 인정한 최근 발언과 일치한다.

엔비디아와 애플 공급 업체들은 트럼프의 복귀에 대비: 폭스콘, 페가트론 및 퀀타 컴퓨터

애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)의 대만 소재 공급업체인 폭스콘(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)은 목요일(14일) 3분기 실적을 발표했다. 혼하이정밀산업(Hon Hai Precision Industry)으로도 알려진 폭스콘은 수익 마진이 전반적으로 개선되었다고 밝혔다.
폭스콘 보도자료에 따르면 매출총이익률은 2017년 이후 분기별 최고치를 기록했다. 3분기 모회사 소유주에게 귀속되는 순이익은 전기 대비 31%, 연간으로는 11% 증가한 431억 대만달러(13억 달러)를 기록했다.
매출총이익률과 영업이익률도 전기 및 연간 기준으로 개선된 모습을 보였다. 주당순이익은 NT$3.11(0.095달러)이며, 매출은 NT$15억 432(473억 달러)으로 전기 대비 18% 증가했지만, 전년 동기 대비로는 12% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.
무슨 일 있었나: 폭스콘의 회장 겸 CEO인영 리우(Young Liu)는 올해 초에 정보 통신 기술, 신사업 개발, 글로벌 입지, ESG 실천 등 6가지 운영 기조가 몇 가지 어려움에도 불구하고 계획대로 이행되었다고 전했다.
또한 리우 회장은 내년에 주목해야 할 중요한 영향 요인으로 통화 정책, 인플레이션, 정치 및 경제 상황을 강조했다. "내년 세계 경제 성장이 둔화될 것으로 예상됨에 따라 2024년 ICT 전망에 대해 비교적 중립적인 견해를 유지할 것이다. 우리는 운영 안정성을 유지하고 고객의 요구를 충족하며 회사의 강점을 활용하기 위해 최선을 다할 것이다.&#8221;

왜 중요한가: 리우는 &#8220;제조 서비스 회사에서 플랫폼 솔루션 회사로 변모하고 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다. 향후 주력 분야로는 스마트 시티, 스마트 제조, 스마트 전기차를 위한 플랫폼 개발 등이 있다.
그는 인공지능 붐이 계속되고 있는 가운데, AI 팩토리 기반의 3대 플랫폼 개발에 집중할 것이라고 밝혔다. AI 팩토리는 대량의 데이터를 분석하고 자가 학습을 통해 다양한 새로운 응용 콘텐츠나 솔루션을 만들어낼 것이다.
전기차 분야에서, 폭스코은 보도자료를 통해 총 51개의 프로젝트가 진행 중이며 그중 23개는 14명의 잠재 고객과 관련 논의 및 개발 단계에 있다고 밝혔다.

애플의 핵심 공급업체 폭스콘: 올해 3분기 순이익 7년래 최고치 달성, 내년 AI 역량 확대 목표 설정

일반적으로 폭스콘(Foxconn)으로 알려져 있으며, 애플의 주요 공급업체 중 하나인 대만의 계약 제조업체 훙하이 정밀공업(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)이 베트남에서의 입지를 확대하기 위해 8천만 달러를 투자할 예정이다. 투자자는 순신(Shunsin)이라는 자회사를 통해 진행하게 된다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 베트남 환경부의 문서에 따르면, 순신은 바짱(Bac Giang) 주에 집적 회로를 생산하는 공장을 건설할 계획이라고 보도했다.
이 시설은 2026년 12월까지 본격적으로 운영될 예정이며, 연간 450만 개의 생산량을 목표로 하고 있다.
폭스콘은 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>의 논평 요청에 즉시 응답하지 않았다.
이 공장에서 생산된 제품은 주로 미국, 유럽연합 및 일본으로 수출될 예정이다. 이번 신규 투자는 폭스콘이 베트남에 인쇄 회로 기판용 시설에 3억 8천 3백만 달러를 투자하기로 승인한 후 진행되는 것이다.
폭스콘은 2000년대 초 베트남에 진출한 이후로 32억 달러 이상을 투자했으며, 대부분의 시설은 박닌(Bac Ninh)과 바짱(Bac Gian) 주와 같은 북부 지방에 위치해 있다. 순신은 이번 개발에 대해 아직 언급하지 않았다.

지난주 주요 AI 뉴스: 엔비디아의 주식분할, 인텔의 부활한 AI 전략, 테슬라의 칩 사건

폭스콘 테크놀로지 그룹(Foxconn Technology Group)으로 운영되는 대만의 홍하이 정밀공업(OTC:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hnhpf" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for HNHPF">HNHPF</a>)은 가전제품 수요 약화로 인한 매출 감소에도 불구하고 1분기 순이익이 크게 증가했다고 보고했다.
What Happened: 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aapl" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for AAPL">AAPL</a>)의 아이폰을 조립하는 것으로 알려진 대만에 본사를 둔 이 계약 제조업체는 화요일에 1분기 순이익이 전년도보다 72% 증가하여 220억 1,000만 대만달러(미화 6억 7900만 달러)에 이르렀다고 발표했다고 월스트리트저널이 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/earnings/foxconn-profit-surges-on-low-base-but-revenue-falls-91b74d36?mod=latest_headlines">보도</a>했다.
그러나 이 증가액은 분석가들이 팩트셋(FactSet) 여론 조사에서 추정한 287억 6천만 대만달러에는 미치지 못했다. 이러한 이익 급증은 지난해 폭스콘이 일본 전자업체 샤프(Sharp)의 지분 34%와 관련하여 173억 대만달러의 상각에 직면했을 때 베이스가 낮았기 때문이다.
이익 급증에도 불구하고 1분기 매출은 가전제품 수요 감소로 인해 9% 감소한 1조 3,240억 대만달러을 기록했다.
팬데믹으로 인해 폭스콘의 중국 정저우 공장에서 생산 및 배송이 지연되어 작년 1분기에 비해 높은 베이스를 기록했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 클라우드 및 네트워킹 부문은 강력한 인공 지능 서버 수요에 힘입어 강력한 매출 성장을 경험했다.
폭스콘은 최근 몇 년간 전기자동차, AI 등 사업 분야를 다각화해 왔다. 이 회사는 중국에 대한 의존도를 줄이기 위해 인도 등 국가에서도 생산을 확대하고 있다.
Why It Matters: 폭스콘의 실적은 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38108303/apples-key-supplier-foxconn-reports-9-decline-in-first-quarter-revenue-anticipates-growth-in-fut">1분기</a> 매출이 9% 감소한 데 따른 것이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 회사는 전통적으로 &#8216;비수기&#8217;로 간주되는 2024년 2분기 매출 증가를 예상했다.
5월 초 폭스콘은 월간 매출이 19% 급증하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38641338/apples-largest-iphone-manufacturer-reports-its-best-ever-april-revenue-amid-stronger-iphone-dema">사상 최대 규모의 4월 매출</a>을 보고했다. 이러한 성과로 인해 이 회사 주가는 대만에서 사상 최고치로 상승했다.
지난 3월 폭스콘은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nvda" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for NVDA">NVDA</a>)와의 전략적 파트너십을 통해 AI 서버 시장에 진출하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 이러한 움직임은 폭스콘이 장기적으로 엔비디아와의 긴밀한 파트너십을 통해 이익을 얻을 것으로 예상됐다.
재정적 성과에도 불구하고 폭스콘은 모국에서 정치적 도전에 직면해 왔다. 지난 11월 폭스콘 창립자인 궈타이밍(Terry Gou)은 대만 총통 선거 출마를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35954719/taiwans-political-future-hangs-in-balance-as-these-three-factions-battle-to-replace-tsai-ing-wen">철회</a>했고, 이로 인해 야당이 권력을 놓고 경쟁하면서 정치적 개편이 일어났다.

폭스콘은 소비자 전자제품 수요의 약화로 매출이 감소했지만, 이익은 72%의 급증

Upwallstreet, Benzinga Contributor
훙하이정밀공업(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)가 소유한 아이폰을 생산하는 폭스콘(Foxconn)은, 4월 26일 첫 분기 실적을 발표했다. 첫 분기가 일반적으로 정체기인 시기여서 폭스콘이 매출을 두배 늘릴 것으로 예상했지만, 많은 분석가들이 그 예상대로 나쁜 결과를 예측했다. 그러나 여전히 비수기 시즌인 2분기에도 매출 성장을 예상하고 있는 것이다.
첫 분기 하이라이트
첫 분기에 폭스콘의 매출은 9.6% 감소했지만, 애플의 공급업체인 회사는 클라우드 및 네트워킹 부문에서 상당한 매출 증가를 기록했다. 그러나 총 매출은 약 1.32조 대만 달러, 즉 약 412억 달러에 달하는 수치로 첫 분기와 비교하여 28.58% 낮았다. 다른 회사들도 애플과 같은 거대 기업들의 휴일 수요를 충족시키기 위해 보통은 4분기에 기업들끼리 경쟁을 벌인다. 그러나 카운트포인트 리서치(Counterpoint Research)에 따르면, 2023년 동안 스마트폰의 총 선적이 3.2% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.
AI 열풍이 불던 시기
폭스콘은 최근에 AI 칩 제조 선두주자인 엔비디아 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)보다는 뒤쳐 있지만, 폭스콘은 최근에 성장세를 보이고 있다.
지난해 폭스콘은 엔비디아와 제휴를 맺었다. 폭스콘과 엔비디아는 어느 특정 &#8220;AI 공장&#8221;을 개발하기 위해 협력했는데, 그것은 엔비디아 칩을 사용하여 대형 언어 모델에서부터 자율차량 훈련까지 모든 종류의 응용 프로그램을 구동할 수 있는 새로운 데이터 센터입니다. 또한, 폭스콘은 엔비디아가 개발한 기술을 기반으로 하는 스마트 솔루션 플랫폼을 개발할 것이다. 엔비디아의 솔루션에 액세스할 수 있음으로써 폭스콘은 안전한 AI 기반 전기 자동차를 제공할 수 있을 것이며, 이로써 새로운 시대에 대한 자신의 발자국을 남길 수 있게 될 것이다. 다시 말해, 엔비디아는 AI 산업 혁명을 가속화하기 위해 폭스콘과 손을 잡았다. AI의 발전에는 칩 뿐만 아니라 여러 요소들이 필요한 만큼, 단순히 하나의 기능만을 가지고 있는 것은 아무것도 없는 것과 같은 셈이다. 이러한 이유로 폭스콘은 AI의 발전에 기여할 수 있는 산업계 기업들을 위한 시장을 확보하게 될 것이다.
전통적인 비수기 시즌과 최근의 지진에도 불구하고, 3월의 소비자 전자제품과 클라우드 수요 증가로 인해 애플의 공급업체인 폭스콘은 2분기 매출 증가를 기대한다. 또한, 폭스콘의 주가는 올해 들어 거의 21% 상승했다.
AI에 기대하는 회복 희망
애플의 메인 제품인 아이폰의 판매 감소는 회복의 희망을 제공하지 않았지만, AI 서버에 대한 수요 증가는 폭스콘에게 2분기 매출 반등을 기대하고 더 낙관적으로 2023년을 앞두고 있다.
