We believe the company's AIOS strategy fits on-device AI. We expect its full-stack products to be deployed at scale amid the company's global expansion. Maintain BUY.
Domestic and overseas revenue grew rapidly
1) Intelligent software: 1H26 revenue increased by 22.05% YoY to RMB1,026mn, with GPM down by 0.83pp YoY to 36.31%. 2) Smart vehicles: 1H26 revenue rose by 18.82% YoY to RMB1,412mn, with GPM down by 2.76pp YoY to 43.26%. 3) IoT: r1H26 revenue climbed by 46.93% YoY to RMB1,866mn, with GPM down by 4.12pp YoY to 14.36%. The company's attributable NP rose by 54.97% YoY to RMB246mn, as expense ratios declined and operating leverage improved. By region, for 1H26, domestic revenue increased by 37.34% YoY to RMB2,392mn. Revenue from Europe and North America rose by 35.09% YoY to RMB1,492mn, while revenue from Japan fell by 11.88% YoY to RMB246mn. We believe the company could strengthen its competitive advantages in the on-device AI value chain as its AIOS foundational capabilities improve, device-cloud collaboration becomes platform-based, and overseas business expands.
AIOS foundation and AI agents support in-vehicle application
The company's AIOS 2.1, which centers on the AIOS agent system foundation, the AI agent cockpit interface, and AIOS-AIBOX integration, upgrades automotive intelligence. Dishui AIOS's core capabilities (including device-cloud collaboration, persistent memory, proactive perception, planning and execution, and secure API invocation) form a robust technology foundation. Building on this, AI agents enable natural language human-machine interaction within intelligent cockpits. They interpret and respond to user requests spanning entertainment, communications, vehicle controls, and third-party ecosystem services. AIBOX functions as an on-device module for AIOS, handling model inference and data processing locally within the vehicle. The company has also collaborated with Qualcomm and NVIDIA to develop a 30B MoE automotive-grade efficient on-device inference solution based on the Snapdragon 8397 platform and the AquaClaw full-stack solution, accelerating in-vehicle AI deployment.
Earnings forecast and valuation
Given Thunder Software’s expanding business lines and smooth AIOS adoption, we raise our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts by 3.25/2.74% to RMB668/ 861mn from RMB647/838mn. We introduce our 2028 attributable NP forecast of RMB1,082mn. We favor the company's growth outlook, and value the stock at 50x 2026E PE, in line with its peers' average on iFind consensus. Our target price is RMB72.50 (previous: RMB88.55, based on 76x 2025E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: downstream demand fluctuations and weaker-than-expected technology commercialization.
