TAIPEI  -Apple Inc supplier Foxconn reported on Thursday a 56-percent fall in first-quarter net profit, lagging forecasts in its biggest quarterly fall in three years, as global economic woes hurt demand for smart consumer electronics.

The Taiwanese company, which is the world’s largest contract electronics maker, said net profit for the January-March quarter fell to T$12.8 billion ($417.17 million) from T$29.45 billion in the same period the previous year.

It was much worse than an average forecast of T$29.18 billion profit from 13 analysts, according to Refinitiv.
