For 1Q26,Beijing Ultrapower Software's revenue was RMB1,401mn(+5.9%YoY,-20.1%QoQ),attributable net profit(NP)was RMB171mn(-28.3%YoY,+121.9%QoQ),and recurring NP was RMB169mn(-25.4%YoY,+35.9%QoQ).For 2025,revenue was RMB1,401mn(-9.79%YoY),attributable NP was RMB802mn(-43.86%YoY),and recurring NP was RMB820mn(-28.48%YoY).In 1Q26,revenue grew YoY,as refined game operations remained resilient.Among innovative businesses,AI cloud services saw revenue ramp up.We are optimistic about the company's growth pattern driven by both games and AI.Maintain BUY.
Flagship titles entered the mature stage
In 1Q26,revenue continued to grow YoY,underpinned by the resilient,quality-driven game operations and the rapid scaling of innovative businesses,including AI cloud services and IoT.While flagship titles from Camel Games,such as Age of Origins and War and Order,have entered amature stage with gross billings falling from peak levels,their robust top-line continues to be supported by the inherently long lifecycles and high user stickiness of the SLG genre.This further validates the company's proven capability in refined long-term operations.Meanwhile,in the AI cloud segment,the company is fortifying its technological moat through an integrated"Cloud+AI"model.The successful incubation and deployment of innovative tools–such as the AI LLM Platform(ModelHub Platform)and Omni-Smart CDN Service–are accelerating the monetization of enterprises'digitalization demand and contributing incremental revenue.
Expense control effective
For 1Q26,the company's GPM fell by around 11.4pp YoY to c49.9%,mainly due to arising revenue share of low-GPM businesses such as AI cloud services and IoT.We believe that the temporary GPM decline reflected the optimization of the revenue structure rather than the weakening of core profitability.The company advanced refined operations,and earnings quality improved steadily.For 1Q26,sales/administrative/R&D expense ratios were 9.9/17.8/5.3%(-6.3/-2.9/-1.2pp YoY).The sales expense ratio came down mainly because the investment pace slowed down after legacy games entered the mature stage.The administrative expense ratio fell,reflecting steady improvement in organizational efficiency.The R&D expense ratio remained stable,reflecting the investment intensity in core technologies.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We believe that the company's game segment has strong operational resilience,and core legacy products continue contributing stable cash flows.Meanwhile,AI cloud services,IoT,and vertical LLMs have entered accelerated commercialization,shaping more visible second earnings growth drivers.Considering that it still takes time for the company's pipeline games to be launched,we project 2026/2027 attributable NP of RMB989/1,180mn and add our 2028 forecast of RMB1,350mn.We value the stock at 22x 2026E PE,a premium over its peers'average of 16.1x to factor in growth potential stemming from overseas game operations and AI applications.Our target price is RMB11.06(based on 22x 2026E PE).Maintain BUY.
Risks:Weaker new product performance than we expect,forex rate fluctuations,the commercialization of innovative AI products missing our expectations,policy risks.
