Shenzhen Topband's(Topband)2025/1Q26 revenue changed by+5.53/-1.01%YoY to RMB11,082/2,644mn,while attributable NP fell 45.81/73.66%YoY to RMB364/52mn.Net profit for 2025 was below our previous expectation(RMB600mn),mainly due to:1)increased share-based payment expenses;2)asset disposals,impairments,and goodwill impairment related to cell production equipment and other assets;and 3)a rise in the average cost of commodities and cells.Despite acomplex environment,the company's core operations showed resilience,with new businesses such as smart automotive and robotics achieving rapid growth,and cloud storage and cloud charging products likely to embark on ayear of volume expansion.Over the long term,amid intelligence upgrades and the eastward shift of the industry supply chain,we are positive on the company's development potential as asector leader in new products,new businesses,and new scenarios.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
New business likely to embrace ayear of volume expansion
By business line,in 2025,tools&appliances segment revenue grew by 6.14%YoY to RMB8,471mn.The company accelerated its overseas production capacity layout,increased technological innovation,and continued to advance cooperation progress with key clients,achieving steady growth above the industry average.Automotive&high-end equipment segment revenue grew by 50.84%YoY to RMB1,290mn.Through product platformization and modular design,the company achieved cross-domain platform development and application in core components such as smart controllers,power management systems,and motor drives,among which the robotics segment revenue grew by 39.61%YoY to RMB294mn.New energy business revenue declined by 22.71%YoY to RMB1,279mn,mainly due to the impact of aYoY decline in non-residential storage product revenue and categorial adjustments.The company's cloud storage product benchmark project achieved delivery,and the cloud charging 1,120KW ultra-fast charging pile achieved mass production,with product capabilities and market demand being validated.We expect volume expansion in 2026.
Upbeat on long-term development;maintain OVERWEIGHT
We see clear recovery momentum in the smart-controller industry.To capitalize on the resulting opportunities,Topband has been expanding its business presence both at home and abroad,laying asolid foundation for future growth.In addition,the robotics and smart automotive businesses should,in our view,create new growth curves.Considering the impact of upstream raw material price hikes on performance and demand,we lower our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts by 45/43/-%to RMB488/622/740mn.In view of its peers’average 2026E PE of 35.69x on Wind consensus,we apply a35x 2026E PE(previous:37x 2025E PE)considering the short-term impact of raw material price increases on the company.We revise our target price to RMB13.70(previous:RMB17.80).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Price hikes of upstream components,weaker demand for smart controllers,and slower capacity expansion than we expect.
