2Q Revenue Up QoQ, Margin Robust
发布时间:2026-08-26 来源:华泰证券
Eoptolink Technology’s 1H26 revenue reached RMB20,910mn, up by 100.34% YoY, and the attributable net profit came in at RMB7,529mn, up by 90.98% YoY — in line with the profit alert guidance of RMB7,000-8,000mn. For 2Q26, revenue was RMB12,572mn, up by 96.90% YoY/50.78% QoQ; the attributable net profit was RMB4,749mn, up by 100.40% YoY/70.81% QoQ. We attribute the strong sequential revenue and profit growth in 2Q26 to robust demand for 800G and 1.6T high-speed optical modules, driven by AI compute cluster build-outs. We remain bullish on Eoptolink’s ability to capture the AI compute supply chain opportunity and maintain BUY.
Optical interconnect delivers strong 1H26 growth
By product, optical interconnect revenue reached RMB20,883mn in 1H26, up by 100.59% YoY. We attribute this primarily to the rapid volume ramp up of 800G and 1.6T optical modules. The segment gross margin was 48.46%, up by 0.99pp YoY. By region, overseas revenue came in at RMB20,475mn, up by 107.66% YoY, with its share of total revenue rising to 97.92% from 94.47% in 1H25. The overseas gross margin was 48.55%, up by 0.52pp YoY. Domestic revenue was RMB435mn, down by 24.69% YoY, while the gross margin improved by 6.16pp YoY to 43.19%.
2Q gross margin stays elevated; inventory continues to build
For 1H26, the blended gross margin was 48.44%, up by 1.01pp YoY. For 2Q26, the gross margin came in at 47.96%, up by 1.32pp YoY but down by 1.20pp QoQ, which we attribute largely to shifts in revenue mix. On the cost side, the selling/ G&A/R&D expense ratios in 1H26 were 0.48%/0.62%/2.10%, down by 0.34pp/ 0.57pp/1.09pp YoY. We think that the decline reflects operating leverage as rapid revenue growth drives scale benefits. Financial costs were RMB644mn in 1H26 vs -RMB208mn in 1H25, mainly due to higher FX translation losses from exchange rate movements. On the balance sheet, inventory stood at RMB11,655mn at end-1H26, up by RMB2,629mn from end-1Q26, as the company built up buffer stock in light of orders in hand, expected orders and procurement lead times.
Poised to capture the AI compute supply chain opportunity
We view the company as a premier global supplier of high-speed optical modules, well positioned to benefit from the AI compute infrastructure build-out. It continues to broaden its product portfolio. According to the 2026 interim report, Eoptolink has rolled out a new-gen 1.6T DR4 OSFP optical module based on 400G PAM4, a 6.4T NPO module built on silicon photonics, and the industry’s first 12.8T XPO optical module. It also launched the NX200/300 series OCS products based on its proprietary 3D MEMS technology. Beyond that, Eoptolink has ample technology reserves and a robust product pipeline in cutting-edge areas such as CPO. We remain bullish on its ability to capture the AI compute supply chain opportunity.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given sustained strong demand for high-speed optical modules, we raise our 2026-2028 revenue and attributable net profit forecasts. We project attributable net profit of RMB22,314/28,260/35,520mn for 2026/2027/2028 (raised by 24/26/24%). Its peers’ average 2026E PE is 36x on Wind consensus (previous: 42x 2026E). We assign a 2026E PE of 36x (previous: 2026E 42x), yielding our target price of RMB576.15 (previous: RMB538.16, adjusted for share dilution). Maintain BUY.
Risks: weaker cloud capex than we expect, escalating trade friction, and intensifying industry competition.
