Company Report

Hon Hai Looking to Electric Vehicles and AI Servers to Lift Revenue and Margins

Apple, which has established itself as a consumer electronics behemoth over the past decade, has propelled Hon Hai into the world’s largest contract manufacturer. Despite its entrenched position in Apple, which accounts for around 55% of the group’s revenue, Hon Hai is faced with increasing competition in the traditional assembly business at a time when smartphone demand has matured. As a result, its returns on invested capital have fallen to 12% in 2022 from 23% in 2016.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Hon Hai will defend its leading position in the iPhone assembly supply chain as new entrant Luxshare suffers from weak production yields and struggles to gain market share.

Bears

Increased price competition in the iPhone assembly supply chain due to the entry of Luxshare could erode Hon Hai’s profitability and returns on invested capital.
