Hon Hai said that revenue for the second quarter improved to NT$1.13 billion, up 21.38 percent from NT$929.68 million in the first quarter, which was the lowest quarterly result in six years as the market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On an annual basis, last quarter’s figure declined 2.77 percent from NT$1.16 billion, company data showed.
Overall, Hon Hai’s cumulative revenue in the first half of the year was NT$2.06 billion, down 7.16 percent from a year earlier, the company said.
Separately, telecom equipment maker Sercomm Corp (中磊) said that revenue surged 44 percent year-on-year to NT$3.63 billion last month, lifting last quarter’s revenue to NT$9.25 billion, a 38 percent annual rise.
Sercomm attributed the growth to delayed orders and rising customer demand for increased bandwidth and broadband upgrades due to work-from-home and videoconferencing trends amid the pandemic.
It is optimistic about its business outlook as its new small cell base stations and networking equipment supporting 5G technology are being adopted by more telecoms, Sercomm said.
The company’s production capacity has fully recovered, it said.

Starbucks Corp might have the more recognizable name, but 7-Eleven’s City Cafe remains the king of Taiwan’s fresh coffee market, helped by the convenience store chain’s extensive market presence and product diversification.

COUNTRY-BASED: Setting ceilings on sales of the technology would tighten limits that originally targeted China’s ambitions in artificial intelligence amid security risks US officials have discussed capping sales of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips from Nvidia Corp and other American companies on a country-specific basis, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would limit some nations’ AI capabilities. The new approach would set a ceiling on export licenses for some countries in the interest of national security, according to the people, who described the private discussions on condition of anonymity. Officials in the administration of US President Joe Biden focused on Persian Gulf countries that have a growing appetite for AI data centers and the deep pockets to fund them, the people
