Foxconn (Far East) sold 5.54 million Zhen Ding shares between September 1 and October 12, 2026, at an average price of TWD 584.96 per share, according to RNS. The sale generated proceeds of TWD 3.24 billion and left Foxconn with 299,971,627 shares, or 26.47 percent of Zhen Ding.

Growth remains visible in 2026 figures

Biggo reported that Zhen Ding generated TWD 89.2 billion of consolidated revenue in the first half of 2026, up 13.9 percent from the year-earlier period. Net profit attributable to the parent rose 208.5 percent to TWD 3.817 billion, while the gross margin increased to 22.4 percent from 16.5 percent.

The companys second-quarter revenue reached TWD 48.431 billion, up 26.8 percent year over year, and net profit attributable to the parent rose 295.3 percent to TWD 2.392 billion. The figures show why the stake sale is being weighed against an operating picture increasingly tied to servers, optical modules and integrated-circuit substrates.

Three capital moves since September

On September 17, 2026, a Zhen Ding unit planned TWD 1.00 billion of machinery and equipment spending, as reported by MarketScreener. On September 22, 2026, Zhen Ding planned an overseas convertible bond sale of USD 800 million, according to MarketScreener.

On October 12, 2026, the Foxconn disposal brought the latest capital-allocation event to TWD 3.24 billion in proceeds and reduced Foxconns holding by 5.54 million shares. The remaining 26.47 percent stake still represents a substantial strategic interest.

What does the stake sale mean for demand?

The RNS filing said the disposal was intended to realize investment profits. That wording points to shareholder capital allocation rather than a revision to Zhen Dings operating outlook, while the first-half margin comparison keeps execution in AI-related products central to the valuation debate.

Next dated milestones

Zhen Ding is scheduled to participate in TPCA Show 2026 from October 20 through October 22, 2026, where it plans to present high-end PCB technologies, according to I-Connect007. TradingView lists November 11, 2026, as the next earnings date and reports second-quarter earnings per share of TWD 2.19 against a TWD 2.31 estimate.

Operating scale now meets capital spending

Zhen Ding combines a 208.5 percent first-half net-profit increase with heavier investment in manufacturing capacity and a large convertible financing plan. For investors, the key question is whether AI-linked demand can convert that expansion into sustained margin growth while Foxconn monetizes part of its longstanding holding.
