Beijing Ultrapower Software(Ultrapower)has reported 1H26 revenue/attributable NP/recurring NP of RMB3,234/382/366mn(+20.45/-25.03/-25.08%YoY).The 2Q26 figures were RMB1,833/211/197mn(+34.6/-22.1/-24.8%YoY,+30.8/+23.2/+16.6%QoQ).The company's game business has entered amature phase,while rapid expansion in AI applications and cloud services drove total revenue to anew high.Maintain BUY.
Game business reaches maturity,operational resilience persists
Game revenue declined YoY in 1Q26,mainly due to natural gross billing decay in two flagship titles,Age of Origins and War and Order.New games remain in the testing and optimization phase without generating scaled revenue.However,through refined operations and deep user and product engagement,user retention and gross billings maintained strong resilience.During the period,the company controlled channel costs and expenses,driving game gross margin up by 2.86pp YoY to 76.34%.Age of Origins(online for over 7years)and War and Order(online for over 9years)have each accumulated over USD1bn in gross billings,and their product lifecycles are likely to extend further,in our view.With several new titles undergoing commercial testing overseas,profitability in games still has room to run.
Rapid AI and cloud expansion unlocks growth potential
Ultrapower continues integrating AI with cloud services.For 1H26,AI application and cloud services gross margin fell YoY to 7.28%,primarily due to competitive pricing on strategic accounts to gain market share.The company launched tools such as ModelHub Platform and Omni-Smart CDN Service,providing full-stack AI+cloud services for Chinese enterprises going global.As AI applications enter scaled implementation,we expect the company to leverage existing technology and client resources to further expand cloud and AI solutions,opening up long-term growth potential.
Rich product pipeline to deliver incremental growth
The pipeline remains rich,with multiple SLG titles in commercial testing overseas.Key titles Stellar Sanctuary and Next Agers have obtained domestic game licenses and will launch domestically at opportune times.The company continues advancing AI efficiency initiatives;by training proprietary AI models for Camel Games,it expects to lower R&D costs and shorten development cycles across art production,content generation,testing,and operations.Building on steady contributions from mature titles,new releases could in our view drive amore complete product portfolio.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We believe the game business demonstrates operational resilience,while commercialization of AI applications and cloud services continues accelerating.Considering the launch timelines for pipeline games,we largely maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts at RMB0.99/1.18/1.35bn.Given the company's dual growth drivers in overseas game and AI applications,alongside rapid growth in cloud services and AI,we value the stock at 22x 2026E PE(unchanged),above its peers'average of 12.9x on Wind consensus(previous:16.1x),with our target price maintained at RMB11.06.Reiterate BUY.
Risks:underperforming new game releases,exchange rate volatility,slower commercialization of AI innovations than we expect,industry policy overhang.
