According to a report by Liberty Times Net (LTN), Hon Hai's (2317) subsidiary Foxconn (Far East) Limited passed a board resolution to divest common shares of Zhen Ding Tech (4958), also referred to in filings as Zhen Ding Technology Holding, totaling 554.4 万股 (5,544 lots) [E1]. A parallel disclosure carried by MoneyDJ specifies the exact transaction quantity as 5,544,000 shares [E5], confirming the figure reported by LTN. Both sources, drawing on the same corporate disclosure, agree on the size of the divestment down to the individual share count.
Per LTN's report, once the transaction is completed, Foxconn (Far East) Limited will still hold approximately 299,971,627 shares of Zhen Ding Tech, equivalent to a 27.05% stake, keeping it as a major shareholder of the company [E3]. MoneyDJ's disclosure corroborates this post-transaction position, listing the cumulative holding at 299,971,627 shares, with a cumulative holding value of NT$35,236,347,902 and a stake ratio of 27.05% [E6]. The consistency between the two sources on both the share count and percentage indicates the divestment reduces Hon Hai's position only marginally relative to its remaining stake.
LTN reported that the total transaction amount and the resulting disposal gain have not yet been finalized, since the actual sale price has not been determined; both figures will be disclosed after the transaction is completed [E2]. MoneyDJ's filing summary states the specific purpose of the acquisition or disposal is to realize investment gains, and confirms the transaction is not a related-party transaction [E8]. Together, these two data points frame the deal as a straightforward market sale rather than an internal restructuring, though its exact monetary value remains pending.
According to LTN, following this transaction, the Zhen Ding Tech investment accounts for approximately 10.34% of Hon Hai's total assets on its most recent financial statement, and approximately 22.54% of equity attributable to owners of the parent [E4]. MoneyDJ's disclosure repeats these identical percentages — 10.34% of total assets and 22.54% of owners' equity — and additionally reports that the company's most recent financial statement shows working capital of NT$-317,913,506 thousand [E7]. The matching asset and equity ratios across both sources underscore that, even after divesting 5,544 lots, the remaining Zhen Ding Tech stake continues to represent a substantial share of Hon Hai's balance sheet.
The figures disclosed across LTN and MoneyDJ point to a divestment that is significant in absolute share count — 5,544,000 shares worth part of a holding otherwise valued at NT$35,236,347,902 — yet leaves Hon Hai's subsidiary with a 27.05% stake and "major shareholder" status in Zhen Ding Tech [E3][E6]. The stated purpose, realizing investment gains through a non-related-party transaction [E8], contrasts with the still-undetermined total transaction amount and disposal gain, which awaits the actual sale price [E2]. Meanwhile, the investment's weight on Hon Hai's books — 10.34% of total assets and 22.54% of owners' equity, against a reported working capital figure of NT$-317,913,506 thousand [E4][E7] — indicates that even a partial sale of this magnitude touches a position central to the company's balance sheet, though the disclosed data stops short of specifying how the proceeds will be used.
No. According to the filing summary carried by MoneyDJ, the transaction is explicitly stated as not a related-party transaction, with the specific purpose listed as realizing investment gains.
Not yet. LTN reported that the actual sale price has not been determined, so the total transaction amount and the resulting disposal gain will be announced separately after the deal is completed.
Utility-scale solar has become one of the cheapest new power sources, with costs down roughly 90% since 2010, while 2024 deployment volume outpaced every other generation technology. Paired with record-low battery prices, solar-plus-storage is already powering an AI data center in Arizona — though it still falls short of full 24-hour dispatchable baseload.
2026 marks the European Union AI Act's real enforcement start: the AI Office gains fining power over general-purpose AI on August 2, while high-risk system deadlines are pushed to 2027 and 2028. California activates two new laws on January 1 covering frontier-developer safety disclosure and training-data transparency. The federal government moves the opposite direction, ordering a Justice Department task force to challenge state AI laws, naming California's SB 53 as a target.
China's EHang (億航) is the only eVTOL maker actually flying paying passengers today, holding a full Chinese type, production, and operating certificate set and delivering 221 aircraft in 2025. US rivals Joby and Archer remain in certification or pre-launch stages, while Germany's Lilium and Volocopter both went insolvent in 2024–2025, with Volocopter absorbed by a Chinese buyer.
