TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker, on Wednesday said first-quarter profit leapt 91% on continued strong demand for artificial intelligence servers.

Net profit for January-March for Apple's top iPhone assembler and Nvidia's server maker came in at T$42.12 billion ($1.4 billion), versus an LSEG consensus estimate of T$37.8 billion and compared with T$22.01 billion a year earlier.
