1. Executive Summary

As of the first half of 2026, Goertek reported revenue of RMB 40.046 billion, up 6.65% year on year; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB 1.466 billion, up 3.46% year on year. Net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring items increased 7.96% to RMB 1.116 billion, indicating an improvement in core-business profitability. However, net cash flow from operating activities was negative RMB 245 million during the period, compared with RMB 1.871 billion in the same period of the previous year, meaning that the recovery in revenue and profit has not yet fully translated into improved cash flow.

The company remains primarily driven by smart hardware finished products. In 2025, smart hardware revenue was RMB 53.769 billion, accounting for 55.69% of total revenue, but declining 6.00% year on year. Precision components revenue was RMB 17.978 billion, up 19.45% year on year, with a gross margin of 23.52%, making it the segment with relatively strong revenue growth and profitability. In the first half of 2026, smart acoustic finished-product revenue increased 35.90% year on year, with gross margin improving to 9.70%; smart hardware gross margin also rose to 13.61%. However, smart hardware revenue still declined 2.20% year on year, so the improvement in business mix requires continued validation.

The company employs a vertically integrated ODM/JDM model combining “precision components + smart hardware finished products.” Its growth drivers are concentrated in the ramp-up of precision components, MEMS, optical modules, AI glasses, VR/MR, and smart acoustic products, as well as improvements in automation, yield, and large-scale manufacturing. At the same time, the five largest customers accounted for 79.05% of sales in 2025, while the five largest suppliers accounted for 39.65% of purchases, indicating relatively high customer concentration. Net profit attributable to shareholders in 2025 also included gains related to the Goertek Optical equity transaction, so the profit base needs to be distinguished from core operating performance.

As of September 11, 2026, the share price was RMB 22.24, corresponding to approximately 19.84x P/E and 2.08x P/B, and was positioned relatively low within its 52-week price range. Technically, the share price was below the MA5, MA10, and MA20, while MACD remained in negative territory. Cumulative net selling by major funds from September 4 to September 10 was approximately RMB 354 million. Meanwhile, RSI(14) was approximately 30.39 and the share price was close to the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting conditions for a short-term technical rebound, although a trend reversal has not yet been confirmed.

• The company provides integrated solutions covering product design, mold development, component manufacturing, module assembly, and finished-product manufacturing, as well as molds, injection molding, surface treatment, and the design and manufacture of automated production lines.

2.3 Position in the Upstream and Downstream Supply Chain and Cost-Profit Structure

Goertek is positioned in the relatively front end of the middle portion of the consumer-electronics supply chain. It adopts a vertically integrated “precision components + smart hardware finished products” model covering acoustics, optics, microelectronics, precision structural components, automation equipment, and smart manufacturing. Precision components have relatively strong technology and process characteristics; smart acoustic finished products are closer to mature consumer-electronics mass manufacturing; while smart hardware combines product design, finished-product manufacturing, and systems integration.

• Direct procurement includes integrated circuits, chips and controllers; electronic components such as FETs, PCBs and connectors; acoustic materials such as magnets, diaphragms, back plates and T-iron; plastic parts, metal stampings and precision structural components; optical materials, optical lenses and related modules; batteries, display components, packaging materials, and production auxiliaries.
• The company is highly dependent on direct materials. In the 2025 cost of the electronic-components business, direct materials amounted to RMB 71.171 billion, accounting for 85.24% of operating costs; direct labor accounted for 6.29%, and manufacturing expenses for 8.47%.
• The company can manufacture molds, injection-molded parts, surface-treated products, precision structural components, and certain acoustic components in-house, reducing reliance on external procurement and improving process synergies. However, it remains a purchaser of core chips, certain high-end optical components, display components, and other key electronic components, and generally lacks full bargaining power over leading international suppliers.
• Purchases from the five largest suppliers in 2025 amounted to RMB 31.545 billion, accounting for 39.65% of total annual purchases; the largest supplier accounted for 18.93%. These figures follow the 2025 annual-report methodology. The annual report did not disclose supplier names, so it is impossible to determine whether they specifically correspond to chips, displays, optical components, or other materials.
• Downstream customers are primarily global technology, consumer-electronics, and smart-hardware brands. End applications include wireless earphones, smart speakers, VR/MR devices, AI glasses, wearables, gaming consoles, smart homes, and automotive electronics.
• The company mainly adopts ODM and JDM models, participating in early-stage product design, engineering development, mold development, prototype validation, and mass-production introduction. Compared with pure EMS, this involves a higher degree of technical participation and stronger project stickiness.
• Sales to the five largest customers in 2025 amounted to RMB 76.322 billion, accounting for 79.05% of total annual sales. The largest customer accounted for 29.72%, the second-largest for 26.49%, and the third-largest for 10.63%. These figures follow the 2025 annual-report methodology. Customers were disclosed anonymously as “Customer One,” “Customer Two,” and so forth, and specific brands cannot be confirmed solely from the annual report. The research notes did not provide customer-concentration data for other years, limiting year-on-year comparability.
• Downstream customers have relatively strong bargaining power: brands control product definition, channels, and end-market branding, and typically have global procurement and multi-supplier onboarding capabilities. Consumer-electronics product life cycles are also short, with strict requirements for price, yield, and delivery. Orders may fluctuate with end-market sales, product iterations, and customers’ supply-chain strategies.
• The company must bear considerable production-line, inventory, and delivery pressure. The principal bargaining constraints in this industry do not involve benchmark pricing for commodities, but rather procurement negotiations with leading brands, product price-reduction pressure, stringent certification requirements, and order-switching risks. The research notes did not disclose annual price-reduction clauses in specific customer contracts.
• As of December 31, 2025, accounts receivable were RMB 13.295 billion, equivalent to approximately 13.77% of annual revenue; inventories were RMB 13.077 billion, or approximately 13.54% of revenue; advances paid were RMB 172 million; and net cash flow from operating activities was RMB 6.849 billion. Accounts receivable declined from RMB 17.881 billion at the end of 2024 to RMB 13.295 billion. The annual report attributed this mainly to the year-on-year reduction in fourth-quarter revenue. Inventories increased from RMB 10.479 billion to RMB 13.077 billion, mainly due to operating and production requirements. The company did not provide complete customer aging data, accounts-receivable turnover days, or collection data by customer, so the actual payment terms of major customers cannot be accurately assessed.
• Concentration exists on both the supply and customer sides. The five largest suppliers accounted for 39.65% of purchases in 2025, with the largest supplier accounting for 18.93%; the five largest customers accounted for 79.05% of sales, with the largest customer accounting for 29.72%. Customer concentration is clearly higher than supplier concentration, indicating deep cooperation with leading customers but also substantial potential operating impact from order changes. All figures follow the 2025 annual-report methodology. Customer and supplier names were disclosed anonymously, and the research notes did not provide data for other years; the latest annual report should prevail.

Goertek is positioned in the relatively front end of the middle portion of the consumer-electronics supply chain. It is neither a high-margin upstream resource company nor a pure low-end assembler. Profit improvement mainly depends on increasing the contribution of precision components, MEMS, optical modules, AI glasses, and MR products, as well as lowering unit costs through automation, yield, capacity utilization, and vertical integration. If customers demand price reductions, product life cycles shorten, capacity utilization declines, material prices rise, or inventory impairments increase, margins could come under rapid pressure.

3. Financial Data and Valuation Analysis

3.1 Recent Operating Performance

The latest financial data are as of June 30, 2026, from the 2026 Interim Report disclosed on August 21, 2026. Net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring items in the first half of 2026 was RMB 1.116 billion, up 7.96% year on year; basic EPS was RMB 0.42, up 2.44% year on year; weighted average ROE was 3.92%, down 0.29 percentage points from the same period of the previous year; and net cash flow from operating activities was negative RMB 245 million, compared with RMB 1.871 billion in the same period of the previous year, down 113.08% year on year.

In the first half of 2026, growth in net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring items exceeded growth in reported net profit, indicating an improvement in core-business profit. However, operating cash flow turned negative, requiring attention to changes in inventories, accounts receivable, and stocking levels. Net profit attributable to shareholders in 2025 included gains related to the Goertek Optical equity transaction. Institutional data compilations indicate that net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring items was approximately RMB 1.48 billion, down approximately 38.2% year on year, while the remeasurement of the Goertek Optical equity transaction generated gains of approximately RMB 2.14 billion. The above institutional data and judgments should be verified against the company’s annual-report notes. Segment revenue in the first half of 2026 was as follows: precision components RMB 7.759 billion, up 2.03% year on year, with a gross margin of 24.86%; smart acoustic finished products RMB 11.312 billion, up 35.90%, with a gross margin of 9.70%; smart hardware RMB 19.893 billion, down 2.20%, with a gross margin of 13.61%; and the electronic-components industry RMB 38.964 billion, up 7.43%, with a gross margin of 14.72%. Overall gross margin was approximately 14.52%.

3.2 Earnings Forecasts

As of September 9, 2026, data compiled by Tonghuashun covered forecasts from 10 institutions. The above figures are aggregated institutional data compiled from brokerage research reports, not formal company guidance or exchange-disclosed data. Institutions also forecast revenue growth of approximately 5.09% year on year in 2026, 15.58% in 2027, and 16.11% in 2028.

3.3 Valuation and Institutional Ratings

At the September 11, 2026 close, the share price was approximately RMB 22.24, with a total market capitalization of approximately RMB 79.131 billion, TTM P/E of approximately 19.8–20.0x, and P/B of approximately 2.08x. Based on consensus EPS from 10 institutions, forward P/E for 2026–2028 is approximately 22.2x, 17.2x, and 13.6x, respectively. Huaxin Securities’ corresponding forecast P/E multiples are approximately 24.9x, 18.9x, and 15.0x, while Caixin Securities’ are approximately 23.23x, 18.43x, and 14.17x. Target-price samples from overseas institutions and aggregated platforms vary substantially. The Investing.com average target price is approximately RMB 29.17, while the Futubull average is RMB 36.49; these should not be simply combined into a single consensus target price. Current valuation of approximately 20x P/E and 2.1x P/B is relatively reasonable within the consumer-electronics manufacturing and smart-hardware supply chain, but is not extremely low. The valuation thesis depends on profit growth recovering after 2027. The pace of volume growth in AI glasses, XR, smart acoustic finished products, and smart hardware, as well as improvements in gross margin and operating cash flow, remains uncertain.

4. Recent News and Announcements

4.1 Third Lock-Up Period of the “Jiayuan No. 7” Employee Stock Ownership Plan Expires

On September 12, 2026, Goertek disclosed a reminder announcement regarding the expiration of the third lock-up period of the “Jiayuan No. 7” employee stock ownership plan. Expiration of the lock-up period does not mean that shares have already been sold. Whether sales will occur, as well as the scale and timing of any reduction, remain unclear and will be subject to subsequent announcements. If all assets held by the employee stock ownership plan are converted into cash, the plan may be terminated early; before its expiration, an extension may also be applied for in accordance with regulations.

4.2 Third Exercise Period of the Stock Option Incentive Plan Begins Voluntary Exercise

On September 8, 2026, the company disclosed a reminder announcement regarding voluntary exercise during the third exercise period for the initially granted portion of its 2023 stock option incentive plan. A total of 4,506 eligible incentive participants may exercise 52.059492 million stock options, equivalent to approximately 1.46% of the company’s current total share capital. The exercise price is RMB 17.62 per share, and the exercise period covers trading days from September 8, 2026 to August 27, 2027. The above amount is the maximum exercisable amount and does not represent shares already exercised. If all options were exercised, total share capital would theoretically increase from 3,558,062,598 shares to 3,610,122,090 shares.

4.3 Cancellation of Certain Stock Options Completed

On September 4, 2026, the company disclosed an announcement on the completion of the cancellation of certain stock options. The cancellation included 4,500 stock options from the initially granted portion that had expired unexercised during the second exercise period, and 3.03006 million stock options held by 459 incentive participants that did not meet the exercise conditions. A total of 3.03456 million options were cancelled, and the relevant procedures were completed on September 2, 2026. As the relevant options had not been exercised, the cancellation did not affect total share capital or the shareholding structure.

4.4 Conditions for the Third Exercise Period Met and Adjustment of Incentive Participants

On September 1, 2026, the company disclosed announcements concerning adjustments to the list of incentive participants and grant quantities for the initially granted portion of the 2023 stock option incentive plan, cancellation of certain stock options, and satisfaction of the exercise conditions for the third exercise period. The exercise conditions for the third exercise period of the initially granted portion had been met. A total of 4,506 eligible incentive participants may exercise 52.059492 million stock options at an exercise price of RMB 17.62 per share. This was the prerequisite for the voluntary-exercise arrangement announced on September 8.

4.5 Sequential Decline in Number of Shareholders

As of August 31, 2026, the company had 457,913 shareholders, a decrease of 19,011 from July 31, 2026, or approximately 3.99% month on month. The relevant data were disclosed on September 7, 2026. Changes in the number of shareholder accounts cannot simply be equated with institutional buying or concentrated retail buying, nor can they independently demonstrate improved ownership concentration.

4.6 Share Pledge by Concerted Actor Jiang Long Remains Outstanding

As of September 11, 2026, Jiang Long had 50 million shares pledged, representing approximately 19.97% of his holdings and approximately 1.41% of the company’s total share capital. The pledge period is from May 27, 2026 to May 27, 2027, with China Merchants Securities as pledgee. The disclosed purpose was personal funding needs. Jiang Long previously released the pledge of 65 million shares on May 28, 2026 and newly pledged 50 million shares on May 27, 2026, resulting in a net reduction of 15 million pledged shares. As of September 12, 2026, no new announcement had been located regarding additional selling or buying by Jiang Long, Goertek Group, or other major shareholders in September.

4.7 Progress on Share Repurchases and 2025 Annual Distribution in the First Half of 2026

4.11 No New Third-Quarter Earnings Guidance Located Recently

As of September 12, 2026, no new third-quarter earnings forecast or earnings flash announcement released by Goertek in September 2026 had been located. The company’s most recent major earnings disclosure was its 2026 Interim Report, disclosed on August 21, 2026. Brokerage forecasts or market rumors not confirmed by company announcements were not included in the recent earnings guidance.

4.12 No New Regulatory Penalties or Material Violation Announcements Recently Identified

As of September 12, 2026, based on searches of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, CNINFO, and major announcements, no new September 2026 announcement had been identified concerning a formal investigation, administrative penalty, regulatory inquiry letter, or material violation involving Goertek. Public search results and announcement databases may be subject to update delays; failure to locate a relevant announcement does not mean that no undisclosed regulatory communication exists.

5. Share Price Performance and Technical Analysis

5.1 Price Overview

5.2 Technical Indicators

As of September 11, 2026, Goertek’s closing price was RMB 22.24, positioned relatively low within the 52-week range of approximately RMB 20.22–40.68. After rising to RMB 24.80 in August, the share price pulled back and weakened consecutively from September 8 to September 11. It was below the MA5, MA10, and MA20, while MACD remained negative, indicating weak short-term moving averages and trend indicators. At the same time, RSI(14) was approximately 30.39, RSI(6) approximately 13, and the price was close to the lower Bollinger Band, indicating conditions for an oversold rebound but insufficient evidence to confirm a trend reversal. In terms of fund flows, cumulative major-fund net outflow from September 4 to September 10 was approximately RMB 354 million. After the increase in volume on September 8, turnover value declined and the share price continued to weaken. It is currently more appropriate to observe the effectiveness of support around RMB 22, strong support at RMB 21.70–21.90, and resistance at RMB 23.40–23.70.

5.3 Short-Term Outlook (Next Week; Scenario Analysis for Reference Only)

⚠️ Risk warning: The following content is a subjective scenario analysis based on closing data as of September 11, 2026, historical prices, and publicly available technical indicators. It does not constitute investment advice or a definitive forecast of future prices.

① Key Technical Levels

② Scenarios for the Coming Week (Subjective Weighting, Not Statistical Probabilities)

• Range-bound consolidation (relatively higher subjective weight, approximately 50%–60%; this is a heuristic judgment based on the current technical picture and fund flows, not a statistical probability): The observed price range would be RMB 21.90–23.40. The trigger would be support around RMB 22, but an inability to break above the RMB 23.40–23.70 resistance zone on increased volume, with turnover value remaining at the recent normal level of approximately RMB 1.0–1.6 billion. RSI(14) near 30 and RSI(6) at a low level provide a basis for a technical rebound, but the share price remains below MA5, MA10, and MA20, while major-fund flows were biased toward outflows as of September 10. The stock could therefore remain in weak consolidation and repeatedly test support.
• Weak downside movement (medium subjective weight, approximately 30%; this is a heuristic judgment based on the current technical picture and fund flows, not a statistical probability): The observed price range would be RMB 21.70–22.20, with RMB 20.22–21.00 to be monitored if a breakdown occurs. The trigger would be failure to stabilize effectively around RMB 22.00, with a daily close below RMB 21.70–21.90 and turnover value increasing to more than RMB 1.8 billion while the price continues to close lower. If the price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band, the technical picture could shift from an oversold rebound to continued weakness and seek support near the 52-week low of approximately RMB 20.22.
• Stronger rebound (relatively low subjective weight, approximately 10%–20%; this is a heuristic judgment based on the current technical picture and fund flows, not a statistical probability): The observed price range would be RMB 23.40–24.30, with RMB 24.60–24.70 to be monitored in a strong scenario. The trigger would be a recovery above RMB 23.40–23.70, with turnover value increasing to more than RMB 1.8 billion for at least one trading day, while the electronics sector or consumer-electronics themes also strengthened and major-fund flows shifted from consecutive net outflows to net inflows. Low RSI may support a rebound, but with MACD negative and moving averages bearish, confirmation would still require a price breakout accompanied by higher volume.

③ Fund-Flow and Liquidity Background

As of September 11, 2026, recent turnover rates were approximately 1.4%–2.8%, turnover value from September 7 to September 11 was approximately RMB 1.0–2.1 billion, and five-day average turnover value and turnover rate were approximately RMB 1.48 billion and 2.0%, respectively. For a stock with a total market capitalization of approximately RMB 79.1 billion, ordinary daily trading liquidity remains adequate, although recent activity has declined from the periodic high-volume sessions on August 24 and August 31. Regarding ownership structure, as of March 31, 2026, the ten largest tradable shareholders held approximately 29.41% in aggregate, including holdings related to the controlling shareholder and actual controller, ETFs, China Securities Finance Corporation, and the employee stock ownership plan. However, this data is approximately six months old and may have changed due to institutional rebalancing, shareholder purchases or sales, convertible-bond conversion, or changes in share capital. The number of shareholders increased 3.95% on May 29, 2026 compared with the previous period, but this information is also approximately three and a half months older than the current market conditions. Accordingly, the above data may be used to assess historical ownership background and recent trading activity, but cannot be directly equated with the current real-time ownership structure.

Observable price-volume confirmation signals are as follows: if daily turnover value rises consistently above RMB 1.8 billion in the coming week while the closing price recovers above the RMB 23.40–23.70 resistance zone, this could be viewed as a signal of improved short-term fund support. If turnover value increases while the price falls below RMB 21.70–21.90, this would be closer to a signal of profit-taking or selling-pressure release on increased volume.

④ Points to Monitor (Observation Framework Only, Not Trading Instructions)

• Observe whether RMB 22.00–22.30 can form short-term support and whether the price moves toward RMB 21.70–21.90 after losing that range.
• Observe whether the strong support zone of RMB 21.70–21.90 is decisively breached; if so, monitor RMB 20.22–20.60.
• Observe whether the RMB 23.40–23.70 resistance zone can be recovered on increased volume, followed by further testing of resistance around RMB 24.00–24.30.
• Observe whether turnover value can exceed RMB 1.8 billion in tandem with price appreciation, rather than merely accompanying a high-volume decline. All of the above are observation frameworks, not trading instructions.

The above scenario analysis is based on closing data as of September 11, 2026, as well as historical prices and technical-indicator calculations. Short-term share prices will also be affected by news, fund flows, broader market conditions, and many other factors. Technical indicators themselves are lagging and limited. This does not guarantee actual future performance or constitute a buy or sell recommendation. Investors should independently assess the latest market information and bear investment risks themselves.

6. Industry Structure and Competitor Analysis

6.1 Industry Overview

The company operates at the intersection of precision manufacturing of consumer electronics, smart hardware ODM/JDM, acoustic components, VR/MR/AR devices, and AI wearable devices. The industry is characterized by customer concentration, global procurement, rapid product iteration, and stringent requirements for scale manufacturing and yield. Finished-product outsourcing generally generates large revenue but low margins, while MEMS, acoustic components, optical modules, and precision structural components with technical, customer-certification, and process barriers generally offer relatively stronger profitability.

6.2 Competitive Landscape

• Global brands generally procure on a concentrated basis. Suppliers must pass certifications covering quality, cost, delivery, environmental protection, and information security. Large suppliers benefit from scale and engineering capabilities but are also highly dependent on major customers.
• Consumer-electronics prices decline relatively rapidly, requiring manufacturers to rely on automation, in-house mold production, precision processing, production efficiency, and yield improvements to maintain profitability.
• ODM/JDM models require more technology than pure EMS. Suppliers of VR/MR products, AI glasses, and smart earphones often need to participate in structural design, acoustic design, optical solutions, module integration, software debugging, and mass-production introduction.
• VR/MR and AI glasses remain in product-iteration and market-development stages. Public offering documents citing Counterpoint data state that Goertek was a major supplier of Meta-related products in 2021 and ranked first globally in VR/AR ODM/EMS shipments. This data is based on 2021 and cannot directly represent market share in 2025 or 2026.
• The company did not disclose standard capacity or capacity utilization broken down by VR finished products, earphones, speakers, MEMS sensors, or other products. In 2025, total production in the electronic-components industry was 5,867.3771 million units, sales volume was 5,727.4604 million units, and inventory was 603.8027 million units. These figures cannot be equated with finished-product capacity for earphones, VR devices, or AI glasses.

6.3 Major Competitors

Goertek’s business overlap is broadest with Luxshare Precision, with both companies covering consumer-electronics components, modules, and finished-product manufacturing. Competition with Huaqin Technology and Wingtech Technology is concentrated more in smart-hardware ODM and certain optical- and semiconductor-related fields. Goertek directly competes with AAC Technologies in acoustics, haptics, optics, and precision structural components. Compared with Hon Hai, Quanta, and Compal, Goertek’s differentiated strengths are more concentrated in acoustics, optics, microelectronics, VR/MR, AI glasses, and related precision components and systems integration.

7. Risk Factors

• High customer concentration. The five largest customers accounted for 79.05% of sales in 2025, with the largest customer accounting for 29.72% and the second-largest for 26.49%. Changes in major customers’ orders, product introductions, supply-chain strategies, or end-market sales could materially affect Goertek’s revenue, capacity utilization, and profit.
• Low profitability in finished-product businesses and exposure to pricing pressure. Smart acoustic finished-product gross margin was only 3.85% in 2025, while revenue declined 12.62% year on year. Although gross margin recovered to 9.70% in the first half of 2026, customer price reductions, shorter product life cycles, or weakening demand for mature products could again pressure margins.
• Deterioration in operating cash flow. Net cash flow from operating activities was negative RMB 245 million in the first half of 2026, compared with RMB 1.871 billion in the same period of the previous year. The company also faces changes in inventory, accounts receivable, and stocking levels. If orders or collections fall short of expectations, working-capital pressure could increase.
• Higher inventory creates impairment and turnover risks. Inventories stood at RMB 13.077 billion at the end of 2025, up from RMB 10.479 billion at the end of 2024. Consumer-electronics products iterate rapidly. If sales of smart hardware, earphones, or VR/MR products disappoint, inventory accumulation, price reductions, or impairment may occur.
• Supply-chain concentration and dependence on key materials. The five largest suppliers accounted for 39.65% of purchases in 2025, with the largest supplier accounting for 18.93%. The company remains dependent on external purchases of chips, certain high-end optical components, display components, and other key electronic components. Supply interruptions, price changes, or delivery constraints could affect production costs and delivery capabilities.
• Non-recurring factors affect the profit base. Net profit attributable to shareholders was RMB 3.940 billion in 2025, up 47.85% year on year, but included gains related to the Goertek Optical equity transaction. If subsequent core-business profit growth is insufficient, comparing reported net profit alone could overstate the extent of earnings recovery.
• Potential dilution from stock-option exercise. The third exercise period of the 2023 stock option incentive plan covers 52.059492 million exercisable stock options, equivalent to approximately 1.46% of current total share capital. If all options are exercised, total share capital would theoretically increase, potentially diluting EPS.
• Short-term technical trends remain weak. As of September 11, 2026, the share price was below MA5, MA10, and MA20, MACD was negative, and cumulative major-fund net outflow from September 4 to September 10 was approximately RMB 354 million. If support around RMB 22.00 fails and the price further breaks below RMB 21.70–21.90, it may seek support near the 52-week low of approximately RMB 20.22.

8. Conclusion and Outlook

Goertek’s core growth potential comes from the synergy between precision components and emerging smart hardware. Precision components offer relatively high gross margins; smart acoustic finished products showed a relatively rapid recovery in the first half of 2026; and businesses such as AI glasses, VR/MR, optics, and MEMS could raise product value-added. The company’s RMB 5 billion capital increase in Goertek Optical and increase in ownership to 39.6676% demonstrate its support for the development of the optical business, although the pace of future volume growth and profit contribution still requires validation through subsequent operating data.

Short-term results remain mixed. Revenue and profit excluding non-recurring items grew in the first half of 2026, but operating cash flow turned negative. Institutional average forecasts for 2026 net profit attributable to shareholders are RMB 3.547 billion, below the RMB 3.940 billion in 2025, which included equity-transaction gains. The market already anticipates a recovery in profit growth after 2027. Current valuation is not extremely low, and future valuation digestion depends on whether revenue growth in smart acoustics, smart hardware, and precision components, together with improvements in gross margin, inventory, and cash flow, can be realized.

Technically, RMB 22.00–22.30 is a short-term support zone, RMB 21.70–21.90 is a strong-support area close to the lower Bollinger Band, and RMB 23.40–23.70 constitutes rebound resistance. Going forward, the trend should be assessed in conjunction with trading volume, fund flows, and fundamental data. A volume-backed recovery through the resistance zone would indicate improved short-term support, while a high-volume break below strong support would increase the risk of continued weakness. The above is scenario analysis based on currently available data and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation.
