Woer has reported 2025 revenue of RMB8.5bn(+22%YoY)and an attributable NP of RMB1.1bn(+35%YoY),broadly in line with the preliminary results.Earnings growth was driven by rapid volume ramp-up of Nvidia GB200 and GB300 racks,which lifted demand for copper cables.For 4Q25,revenue reached about RMB2.4bn(+12.5%YoY,+10.8%QoQ),while the attributable NP reached RMB322mn(+67.3%YoY,+22.1%QoQ).Looking ahead,as demand for copper interconnects in AI supernodes continues to grow and as Woer’s core high-speed communication cable capacity keeps ramping up,the company should further increase its customer share,leading to an accelerated unleashing of its earnings.Maintain BUY.
High-speed communication cable revenue+238%YoY
By segment in 2025:1)Communication cables generated revenue of RMB2.6bn(+50%YoY).Specifically,high-speed communication cables generated revenue of RMB1.0bn(+238%YoY).The company has secured key equipment resources,including more than 20 imported foamed-core wire extrusion machines.Its 224G high-speed cable products continued to innovate and completed mass delivery.Its 448G cables completed sample development and were submitted to key customers for validation.We expect the business to continue to benefit from AI supernode cluster expansion in China and overseas.2)New energy vehicle products generated revenue of RMB1.7bn(+23.5%YoY).DC charging guns maintained aleading market position,while the company further expanded its portfolio of high-current charging guns,including liquid-cooled products.3)Electronic materials generated revenue of RMB2.9bn(+9.7%YoY).As the company’s core business base,this segment remained steady and delivered stable gross profit contribution.4)Power products generated revenue of RMB1.0bn(+10.8%YoY).This segment maintained steady growth,supported by grid investment and construction.
GPM remained stable,and expense control stayed solid
For 2025,the company’s blended gross margin(GPM)was 31.65%,down slightly by 0.08pp YoY,and remained broadly stable.Since 2021,the gross margin has stayed at around 32%.Looking ahead,we expect rapid growth in high-margin high-speed communication cable products to lift the blended GPM.In terms of expense ratios,the selling,administrative,and R&D expense ratios were 4.60%,3.67%,and 5.28%for 2025,changing by-0.50pp,-0.70pp,and+0.25pp YoY,respectively.The company maintained solid expense control.As revenue expanded,the operating expense ratios were effectively absorbed.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We remain positive on the company’s high-speed communication cable business,which should benefit from growing demand for AI short-reach interconnects in China and overseas.The company has an edge in securing key equipment and should continue to gain customer share while gradually expanding into new scenarios such as AEC.As profitability in the high-speed communication cable business may decline after large-scale volume ramp-up,we revise down our attributable NP forecasts for 2026 and 2027 and introduce our 2028 forecast.We estimate attributable NP at RMB1.9bn,RMB2.4bn,and RMB2.8bn for 2026,2027,and 2028,versus our previous forecasts of RMB2.18bn and RMB2.61bn for 2026 and 2027,revisions of-12%and-6%.We value the stock in line with the average 2026E PE of 25x for comparable companies on Wind consensus,unchanged from our previous assumption.We assign 25x 2026E PE,for our target price of RMB34.25(previously RMB43.21).Maintain BUY.
Risks:1)High-speed copper cable demand is weaker than we expect;2)new energy business demand is weaker than we expect;3)industry competition intensifies;and 4)there may be errors in market size estimates.
