Per the company's 1Q26 results,MeiG achieved 1Q26 revenue of RMB928mn,down 6.97%YoY but up slightly by 0.19%QoQ,with revenue having come under some YoY pressure,which we attribute mainly to short-term fluctuations in downstream market demand such as automotive.Attributable NP was RMB47mn,up 0.76%YoY and up 57.88%QoQ,and recurring attributable NP was RMB47mn,up 5.95%YoY and up 110.82%QoQ.1Q26 net profit showed aclear QoQ recovery,mainly due to aQoQ decline in the expense ratio,which led to higher profitability.We remain positive on the company's development opportunities in areas such as broad IoT and edge AI.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Overall GPM up YoY,with strategic stockpiling of raw materials
In 1Q26,overall GPM was 17.50%,up 2.96pp YoY,which we attribute mainly to the optimization of the company's revenue mix.For expenses,the selling,administrative,and R&D expense ratios in 1Q26 were 1.74%,2.23%,and 5.53%,up 0.41pp,0.77pp,and 0.72pp YoY,respectively,with the YoY increase in the administrative expense ratio mainly due to higher intermediary service fees(though on aQoQ basis,the ratio fell 0.56pp,0.27pp,and 2.35pp,respectively).By end-1Q26,the company's inventory was RMB1,309mn,up 45%from end-2025,mainly due to an increase in raw material balances resulting from strategic stockpiling of memory chips.
Long-term positive on exposure to edge AI opportunities
In the near term,demand in downstream markets such as FWA and broad IoT should remain healthy.At the same time,the company is expanding its presence in smart modules and computing modules.According to the annual report,as on-device computing applications penetrate the IoT industry more quickly,the company’s smart modules and high-computing-power modules will serve as computing platforms that provide terminal-side and edge-side processing capacity for different IoT end products.MeiG is also stepping up efforts to accelerate the commercial rollout of on-device computing applications across IoT fields.In smart connected vehicles,MeiG’s differentiated smart cockpit solution,which integrates 5G communication with smart computing,continues to lead.We think that,as edge AI use cases expand,the computing module business may develop into anew earnings growth driver.
Maintain OVERWEIGHT
We maintain our revenue and earnings forecasts for the company,and estimate attributable NP of RMB206/263/310mn for 2026/2027/2028.In line with comparable companies'average 2026E PE of 64x on Wind consensus,we apply 64x 2026E PE for MeiG(previous:64x),and maintain our target price at RMB43.64.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Intensified competition in the IoT module industry,slower progress than we expect in customer acquisition.
