Foxconn expects higher third-quarter revenue, it said on Thursday, on robust demand for artificial intelligence servers, which helped the world's largest contract electronics maker report a forecast-beating 27% increase in second-quarter profit.

Foxconn reported a second-quarter operating profit beat on strength of its growing artificial intelligence server business.

Foxconn reported a better-than-expected 27% rise in profit in Q2 and forecast higher sales growth in its AI server business in Q3.
