Such strong growth was driven by robust downstream demand, the company's market expansion, and higher order intake. With downstream demand remaining strong, we see long-term growth potential from industry upgrades and import substitution. Maintain BUY.
Strong downstream demand drives order growth
Revenue rose 30.43% YoY in 1H26, driven by robust downstream demand. The company kept pace with market demand, stepped up R&D investment, expanded sales channels, and secured significant order growth. Gross margin came in at 22.24% in 1H26, up 1.98pp YoY; net margin reached 10.78%, up 0.61pp YoY. In 2Q26, net margin hit 11.84%, up 2.16pp YoY/2.48pp QoQ, as earnings potential materialized. The expense ratio rose 1.03pp YoY to 11.93% in 1H26 and the selling/admin/R&D/financial expense ratios were 4.65%/1.44%/5.28%/0.56%, changing by +0.53/-0.04/+0.24/+0.30pp YoY. The company invested in R&D and after-sales service teams, lifting selling and R&D expense ratios, while the higher finance expense ratio mainly reflected FX losses.
Equity incentives signal confidence in M/LT growth
The company is planning a 2026 restricted stock incentive scheme, granting 6.6558mn Class II restricted shares to 78 directors, senior executives, middle managers, and core technical/business staff, representing 1.04% of total share capital, at an exercise price of RMB7.34/share. Company-level performance targets require 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit to grow at least 10%/21%/33% from the 2025 base, implying no less than RMB335/368/405mn. The scheme helps align core talent with the company's medium- to long-term development, boosts R&D innovation and market expansion efforts, and underscores management's confidence in future earnings growth.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We largely maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts at RMB336/393/460mn, implying EPS of RMB0.52/0.61/0.72. Peers trade at 35x 2026E PE on iFind consensus (previous: 29x). We apply a 35x 2026E PE (previous: 29x), lowering our target price to RMB18.20 (previous: RMB20.81).
Risks: weak market acceptance of new products, intensifying competition, slower progress in the humanoid robot business than we expect.
