Amlogic Shanghai(Amlogic)has announced its 2025 results,with full-year revenue reaching RMB6,793mn(+14.6%YoY)and the attributable NP at RMB873mn(+6.2%YoY).Revenue was largely in line with our estimate(RMB6,831mn),while the attributable NP slightly missed our forecast(RMB932mn),mainly due to higher 4Q25 R&D expenses and FX losses.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB1,722mn(+33.9%YoY,-1.1%QoQ),with the attributable NP at RMB175mn(-23.2%YoY,-12.9%QoQ)and the recurring attributable NP at RMB135mn(-29.7%YoY,-21.5%QoQ).Supported by resumed set-top-box procurement from downstream customers,4Q25 revenue was largely flat QoQ,while supply-chain cost optimization further drove the GPM up by 3.26pp/2.72pp YoY/QoQ to 40.46%.However,the attributable NP fell by 23/13%YoY/QoQ to RMB175mn due to significantly higher R&D expenses and FX losses.Looking to 2026,the company expects full-year revenue growth of 25-45%.We remain positive on further volume ramp-up of its 6nm and WiFi 6products,alongside the rollout of multiple new products including higher-compute general-purpose edge platforms,Monitor,and high-compute intelligent vision chips,which together should drive steady profit growth.Maintain BUY.
2025 recap:sales volume up 22%YoY;GPM up sequentially
In 2025,the company achieved steady growth across all businesses,with smart multimedia&display SoC/AIOT SoC/communication&connectivity chip revenue reaching RMB4,950/1,640/200mn(+15.3/+8.5/+67.1%YoY),while total product shipments grew by 22%YoY.In 3Q25,affected by continued storage price hikes and shortages,some customer demand was delayed.However,leveraging its diversified channel layout,extensive product portfolio,and forward-looking storage chip inventory preparation,the company effectively secured customer demand and offset adverse impacts.By 4Q25,revenue from key products had returned to normal levels,with S/T/W series revenue growing by~60/50/30%YoY.Benefiting from operational efficiency improvements and product-mix optimization,the company's GPM increased quarter by quarter,reaching 37.97%(+1.42pp YoY)for the full year.In 2026,we think that the company may continue to enhance operational efficiency and business quality.For 2025,R&D expenses totaled RMB1,552mn(+14.7%YoY),driven not only by the consolidation of Mic Vic’s personnel costs but also by active investments in higher-compute general-purpose edge platform chips,T-series high-end chips,and high-compute intelligent vision chips,aligning with the development trend of on-device AI technology.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Memory price increases drove significant ASP growth for the company’s Tseries and other products in 2026.This,coupled with the implementation of on-device AI projects,prompts us to forecast 2026/2027/2028 revenue at RMB9,136/10,612/12,841mn(vs previous:+10.6/+0.4/-%),with R&D expenses remaining elevated as multiple new products progress steadily.We project the attributable NP at RMB1,374/1,914/2,515mn(vs previous:+2/-4/-%).We value the stock at 35x 2026E PE(previous:38x,lowered mainly due to industry valuation adjustments)vs its peers’average of 44.3x on Wind consensus;the discount reflects slower demand growth in the set-top box and TV markets).Our target price is revised to RMB114.20(previous:RMB120.8).Maintain BUY.
Risks:slower new product R&D than we expect;intensified market competition;slower market development than we expect.
