2Q26 Revenue Hit a Historical High
发布时间:2026-08-18 来源:华泰证券
In its 1H26 interim results, T&S Communications reported 1H26 revenue of RMB1,001mn, up by 20.81% YoY, and an attributable NP of RMB176mn, up by 1.71% YoY. In 2Q26, revenue hit RMB660mn, a record high since the company’s listing, up by 44.16% YoY and 93.73% QoQ; the attributable NP was RMB111mn, up by 17.61% YoY and 68.04% QoQ. We attribute the strong 2Q26 revenue growth to the rapid rise in demand for high-density optical interconnect products driven by AI computing cluster construction, coupled with the support of newly added capacity for batch deliveries. Looking ahead, we remain positive on the development opportunities of the company’s MPO and MMC businesses, as well as its broad prospects in NPO and CPO fields. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Optical device revenue continued to grow
According to the interim report, in 1H26, the company expanded capacity by leasing new factories, increasing production capacity for core products and alleviating capacity pressure. The release of new capacity further enhanced the company's large-scale production capabilities and batch delivery efficiency. By product, 1H26 optical component revenue was RMB959mn, up by 18.09% YoY, with a GPM of 35.23%, down by 3.54pp YoY. By region, 1H26 domestic sales revenue was RMB302mn, up by 104.38% YoY, with a GPM of 35.48%, up by 3.12pp YoY; overseas sales revenue was RMB699mn, up by 2.71% YoY, with a GPM of 34.52%, down by 5.85pp YoY.
2Q26 GPM fluctuated QoQ; inventory grew fast
1H26 overall GPM was 34.81%, down by 4.13pp YoY; 2Q26 GPM was 33.27%, down by 3.12pp YoY and 4.53pp QoQ. We think that this reflects the impact of upstream material price hikes (eg, optical fiber) beginning to show in 2Q26. However, given that the GPM remains at a high level above 30%, we think that the company can pass on most of the raw material cost increases to downstream customers. Expense control remained sound: 1H26 sales/administrative/R&D expense ratios were 1.33/5.03/3.83%, down by 0.65/1.93/1.27pp YoY; financial expenses were RMB26mn, due to exchange losses from USD depreciation. As of end-1H26, inventory stood at RMB555mn, up by 43.53% from end-1Q26, owing to increased stockpiling in line with sales scale and market expectations.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the potential rapid growth of the company's MPO, MMC, and fiber flexible printed circuit businesses, we raise our 2026-2028 revenue and profit forecasts, expecting attributable NP of RMB510/804/1,094mn for 2026/2027/2028 (upward revisions of 1/11/12%). Given the company’s leading position in the MPO industry and its growth prospects riding the CPO tide, we assign a target PE of 88x for 2026 (previous: 70x for 2026, mainly due to higher peer valuations), above its peers’ average of 86x on Wind consensus, for our target price of RMB197.49 (previous: RMB154.96).

Risks: AI industry development trailing our expectations, intensified competition in the MPO industry.
