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.
