Veichi Electric reported 1Q26 revenue of RMB468mn(+20.98%YoY,-21.46%QoQ),attributable NP of RMB48.3mn(-14.74%YoY,+26.62%QoQ),and ex-nonrecurring net profit of RMB44.7mn(-18.79%YoY).We believe positive revenue growth but negative net profit growth YoY was mainly because upstream cost pressure increased and expenses rose due to FX among other factors.The company continues to increase its market share in inverters,servo systems,and other fields.It is also accelerating progress in humanoid robotics among other new products.We are positive on the steady growth of its core business and the future outlook for its humanoid robot business.Maintain BUY.
1Q26 GPM pressured,with FX noise also weighing on NPM
In 1Q26,gross margin arrived at 35.60%,down by 2.12pp YoY,and net margin came in at 11.54%,down by 2.87pp YoY.In 1Q26,the company’s total period expense ratio was 23.89%,up by 1.25pp YoY.Selling,G&A,R&D,and financial expense ratios were 7.05%,4.93%,11.81%,and 0.10%,respectively,changing by-0.35pp YoY,+0.51pp YoY,-0.90pp YoY,and+2.00pp YoY.Financial expense ratio increased significantly YoY.We believe this was mainly due to FX and other factors.We believe the decline in gross margin was mainly caused by changes in revenue mix and the impact of upstream copper,aluminum,chips,and other factors on the company’s costs in 1Q26.In the long term,we expect the company to reduce pressure from rising costs by optimizing its cost structure and leveraging scale effects.
Thai robotics JV in Thailand to support NA market access
In humanoid robots,the company has released motors and drivers in multiple specifications.These include dexterous-hand series motors,linear actuator motors,rotary actuator motors,6-23mm short brushless coreless motors,and hub motors.They can be used in robots,logistics,delivery,and other applications.JV company Yizhilingqiao released the YZ-T6 series 6DOF tendon-rope bionic-drive dexterous hand.JV company Weidali released four major joint module series,including ultra-short harmonic modules,planetary joint modules,cycloidal joint modules,and axial-flux joint modules.On April 27,the company announced that it had received the registration certificate for robot JV Rongchuang Intelligent Control.Rongchuang Intelligent Control is aThai robot JV jointly established by the company and Zhejiang Rongtai.It mainly engages in the R&D and production of mechatronic components,intelligent transmission systems,and supporting products.The JV will jointly develop mechatronics businesses for intelligent robots.RONGTAI ELECTRIC MATERIAL PTE.LTD.,a wholly owned subsidiary of Zhejiang Rongtai,and Veichi Electric(Hong Kong)Private Limited,a wholly owned subsidiary of VEICHI Electric,each hold 50%of the JV.The overseas robot capacity should help the company further connect with major North American(NA)robot customers.
Earnings forecast and valuation
We maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts at RMB331/396/472mn,corresponding to EPS of RMB1.55/RMB1.85/RMB2.21.Comparable companies are trading at an average of 57x 2026E PE based on iFind consensus estimates.We apply amultiple of 57x 2026E PE to earnings and derive atarget price of RMB88.35(previously RMB89.90 based on 58x 2026E PE).
Risks:Market promotion of new products below our expectation,FX volatility,and slower-than-expected progress in the humanoid robot business.
