No 2 ‘Most Honored Company’ in Technology Hardware, ex-Japan

12 June 2026, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317) once again demonstrated its strong leadership in the technology hardware sector, according to the results of the 2026 “Asia Executive Team” rankings released by Extel. This year, Foxconn not only retained its recognition as one of Asia’s (excluding Japan) “Most Honored Companies” with an improved ranking, but also secured first place for “Best CEO” and “Best CFO,” along with seven awards covering Best Company Board, Best IR Team, Best IR Professional, Best IR program, and Best ESG Program. The results reflect strong recognition from the capital markets for Foxconn’s professional leadership and timely investor communications.

This year’s Extel survey included more than 4,700 buy-side investors and 838 sell-side analysts, making it one of the most recognized rankings in the global capital markets. The number of participating companies increased from 1,600 to 2,500 this year, while a new evaluation methodology introduced in 2026 further strengthened the rigor and competitiveness of the selection process.

In this year’s evaluation, Foxconn Chairman and CEO Young Liu was recognized for leading Foxconn’s global operations and capturing new growth opportunities, while CFO David Huang was praised for capital allocation amid rapid AI-driven expansion and rising capital expenditures. Investors also recognized Foxconn’s transparency and responsiveness in investor communications through NDRs, investor conferences, earnings calls, press releases, and multiple communication platforms.

Chairman Liu said Foxconn is committed to its philosophy of “delivering on promises and continuously improving,” with a focus on strengthening corporate governance, operational performance, and investor communications. He said the recognition reflects not only the support of global investors, but also the dedication and execution capabilities of the company’s team. Going forward, Foxconn will continue advancing its vision of becoming a world-class enterprise and showcasing the strength of Taiwanese companies on the global stage.

CFO David Huang stated that the rapid growth of AI-related businesses has increased the company’s funding needs for global expansion and capacity build-outs, bringing greater challenges to financial management. He emphasized that Foxconn proactively plans for both short- and long-term capital needs and flexibly adjusts financing tools based on market conditions to support operations while maintaining a stable financial structure.

On the corporate governance front, investors recognized the independence and diversity of Foxconn’s Board of Directors, which now includes broader expertise in areas such as semiconductors, quantum technology, accounting, and taxation. Foxconn has also expanded its functional committees, maintained a majority of independent directors, and increased female board representation to over one-third of total seats.

Foxconn’s Investor Relations team is committed to continuously enhancing investor engagement by improving transparency, responsiveness, and accessibility. Through initiatives such as the annual Hon Hai Tech Day, investors gain deeper insights into the Group’s latest technologies and products. In recognition of these efforts, Senior Manager Kristen Fang has been named Best IR Professional for three consecutive years.

In ESG and sustainability, Foxconn’s efforts in sustainable operations, and social engagement have also gained broader investor recognition. This year, the company announced its “2026–2030 Long-Term Sustainability Goals,” outlining 34 strategic action targets across 21 categories focused on clean energy, labor and human rights, supply chain ESG, and global sustainability initiatives. Foxconn aims to turn sustainability into a key driver of long-term competitiveness, creating both business and social value while reinforcing its leadership position and long-term vision in ESG as the world’s largest electronics manufacturing services provider.
