Consolidated sales for September reached NT$585.73 billion, representing a 25.6% jump from a year earlier and a 46.41% bump compared to August figures. The company also noted September sales were the highest so far this year.

The company’s consumer smart devices had the strongest sales in September, followed by electronics components, computers, and cloud-based networking devices. Foxconn, which goes by Hon Hai in Taiwan, recorded NT$4.1 trillion in sales for the first three quarters of 2021, a 22.58% increase from a year earlier.
