Hon Hai Sales Surge, Signaling AI Demand Stays Strong
Nvidia's server assembly partner Hon Hai beat quarterly sales estimates, reinforcing the case that AI infrastructure spending isn't slowing down.

A beat at this level of the stack suggests orders aren't tapering off — they're holding firm, maybe accelerating.
