According to T&S Communications’2025 annual report,its 2025 revenue reached RMB1,547mn,increasing by 12.26%YoY,while the attributable NP was RMB299mn,rising by 14.43%YoY,missing our expectation of RMB362mn,mainly owing to short-term fluctuations in MPO order delivery schedules.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB332mn,down by 28.03%YoY,and the attributable NP was RMB39mn,dropping by 66.54%YoY,with the soft earnings primarily attributable to order delivery timing,as well as provisions for certain expenses and impairments,in our view.Looking ahead,we remain positive on the company’s MPO business development and broad prospects for CPO applications.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Optical device revenue grew stably
By product,the company’s 2025 optical device revenue reached RMB1,515mn,up by 14.74%YoY,which we attribute mainly to the contribution from its MPO business.By region,overseas revenue was RMB1,196mn(+10.80%YoY),accounting for 77.33%of total revenue,while domestic revenue was RMB351mn(+17.57%YoY).
Overall GPM rose steadily,with robust cost control
For 2025,the company’s GPM was 38.00%(+2.39pp YoY),with the 4Q25 GPM at 37.81%(+1.66pp QoQ),which we attribute mainly to the optimization of its revenue mix.Expense control remained stable,with the 2025 sales/administrative/R&D expense ratios at 1.90/7.34/4.95%(+0.20/+0.46/-0.17pp YoY).
MPO business recovery in 2026;CPO breaking above growth ceiling
Looking ahead,considering the strong growth in global demand for 800G and 1.6T optical modules,MPO,as adownstream component,should in our view see demand pick up in 2026.This,coupled with the company’s advantages in product quality,delivery capability,and cost-effectiveness,may further expand its overseas customer base in 2026.In the long term,we remain optimistic about the company’s growth opportunities in the CPO era.According to its annual report,the company continues to drive innovation,advancing R&D in core technologies and products,with significant progress in MT ferrules,fiber routing flexible printed circuits,and high-density connectivity products.These technological achievements play akey supporting role in customer service and technical support,facilitating the execution of related businesses.
Maintain OVERWEIGHT
Considering the impact of the company’s order delivery schedule,we lower our revenue and earnings forecasts for 2026-2027 and introduce our 2028 estimates.We now expect attributable NP of RMB503/726/973mn for 2026/2027/2028(revised down by 17/9/-%).Given the company’s leading position in the MPO industry and its growth potential from the CPO trend,we assign atarget PE of 57x for 2026(previous:49x for 2026,mainly due to higher peer valuations),above its peers’average of 55x on Wind consensus,for our target price of RMB126.27(previous:RMB130.79).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:AI industry development trailing our expectations;intensified competition in the MPO industry.
