Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., a major player in the AI hardware market, reported a 29.7% increase in April revenue, reaching NT$832.1 billion. This surge is driven by strong demand for AI hardware, particularly in AI server demand and Apple assembly.
The company's growth is closely tied to its partnership with Nvidia Corp, as it assembles servers that house Nvidia accelerators. Analysts expect Hon Hai's June-quarter revenue to grow 30.4%, further solidifying its position in the AI hardware market.
In other AI-related news, cloud-computing company CoreWeave is gaining traction ahead of its first-quarter earnings report, with a pipeline of multibillion-dollar deals with Meta, Anthropic, and Jane Street.

Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies Inc. reported disappointing US commercial sales in the first quarter, despite a higher outlook for revenue. The company's shares slid 5.2% following the announcement.
Other notable developments include SentinelOne and Silverfort's strategic partnership to secure human, AI agent, and other non-human identities. Additionally, KraneShares' AI ETF AGIX added direct exposure to Anthropic, a potential gap in portfolios, ahead of a potential 2026 IPO.
AMD is facing competition from other AI stocks, with Micron Technology, Broadcom, Marvell Technology, and ASML being highlighted as potential outperformers. The increasing cost of AI is also raising questions about who will pay for AI and how, with higher memory-chip prices adding fresh urgency to these concerns.
