1. Executive Summary

Focuslight Technologies generated operating revenue of RMB 419 million in 1H2026, up 6.57% year on year, but recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of RMB 67.2288 million, representing a year-on-year deterioration of approximately 169.55%; the 2Q single-quarter loss was RMB 54.0262 million. The widening loss was primarily attributable to RMB 66.3811 million in asset impairment losses, including RMB 31.0016 million in goodwill impairment related to the automotive business and RMB 35.3796 million in inventory write-downs. The company was also affected by increases in share-based compensation expenses and foreign-exchange losses, and its earnings inflection point has yet to be confirmed.

The business mix is being adjusted. Optical communications, consumer electronics and general semiconductor-process applications generated revenue growth of 214.89%, 64.78% and 18.04%, respectively, although their revenue bases remain relatively small. Industrial, healthcare and automotive revenue declined by 16.65%, 11.07% and 18.88%, respectively. All automotive LiDAR designated projects were cancelled, and related goodwill impairment was recognized, highlighting the simultaneous pressure on new-business expansion and traditional operations.

The company plans to raise no more than RMB 1.021 billion through a private placement, with the proceeds mainly directed toward the industrialization of core optical components for high-end optical interconnects, substrate materials for high-speed optical-communications lasers and related equipment. The relevant proposal has been approved by shareholders but still requires review by the stock exchange and registration with the CSRC. Net cash flow from operating activities was RMB 29.5032 million in 1H2026, while full-year 2025 operating cash flow turned positive at RMB 172 million. Cash flow has improved, but the company remains loss-making at the profit level.

As of September 11, 2026, the company’s share price closed at RMB 286.60, down 9.02% on the day, with turnover of RMB 3.727 billion, a turnover ratio of 9.83% and net outflows of approximately RMB 264 million from major investors. The share price was below the MA5 and MA10 and slightly below the MA20; MACD was negative, indicating high-volume selling, high volatility and divergent capital flows in the short term. The dynamic P/E ratio is not meaningful because the company is loss-making, while its P/B ratio was approximately 16.40x, implying high market expectations for future earnings delivery.

3. Financial Data and Valuation Analysis

3.1 Recent Operating Performance

The latest disclosed financial report is the 2026 interim report, disclosed on 2026-08-08; the third-quarter report has not yet been released. The -169.55% year-on-year change in net profit attributable to shareholders is consistent across multiple sources. The hx168 page reports net-profit growth of -157.51%, which is more consistent with the -157.51% non-recurring-adjusted figure; the attributable-net-profit figure of -169.55% should be used. 1Q2026 data are derived from 1H2026 and the 2Q single-quarter figures. In 1H2026, non-recurring-adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders was -RMB 69.4775 million, down 157.51% year on year; gross margin was 43.34%; ROE was -2.96%, down approximately 1.79 percentage points year on year; diluted EPS was -RMB 0.52; the debt-to-asset ratio was 25.99%, up 0.60 percentage points from the previous quarter; net assets per share were RMB 17.47; and net cash flow from operating activities was RMB 29.5032 million, up 85.62% year on year. The principal causes of the 1H2026 loss were total asset impairment losses of RMB 66.3811 million, including RMB 31.0016 million in goodwill impairment related to the automotive business and RMB 35.3796 million in inventory write-downs. All automotive LiDAR designated projects were cancelled. Revenue by business in 1H2026 was: optical communications RMB 66.8807 million (+214.89%), consumer electronics RMB 28.9063 million (+64.78%), general semiconductor processes RMB 111 million (+18.04%), industrial RMB 107 million (-16.65%), healthcare RMB 44.4319 million (-11.07%), and automotive RMB 55.8618 million (-18.88%). Non-recurring-adjusted net profit was -RMB 73.9801 million in 2025, while operating cash flow turned from -RMB 9.76249 million in 2024 to +RMB 172 million. Quarterly 2025 figures were: Q2 +RMB 7.0139 million, Q3 +RMB 27.1870 million and Q4 -RMB 40.6559 million. The company has remained loss-making from 2024 through 1H2026, described by the media as “two and a half consecutive years of losses.” Although the loss narrowed significantly in 2025, it widened again in 1H2026, reflecting the coexistence of revenue ramp-up and widening losses.

The company’s latest financial report, for 1H2026, shows modest revenue growth (+6.57%) but a significant widening of losses. Net profit attributable to shareholders was -RMB 67.2288 million, deteriorating by approximately 169.55% year on year, while non-recurring-adjusted net profit was -RMB 69.4775 million. The 2Q single-quarter attributable net loss was RMB 54.0262 million, down 870.27% year on year, and accounted for most of the loss. The primary causes were total asset impairment losses of RMB 66.3811 million, including goodwill impairment of RMB 31.0016 million and inventory write-downs of RMB 35.3796 million, as well as the cancellation of all automotive LiDAR designated projects. By business, optical communications (+214.89%) and consumer electronics (+64.78%) grew rapidly, general semiconductor processes (+18.04%) expanded steadily, while industrial (-16.65%), healthcare (-11.07%) and automotive (-18.88%) were under pressure. In terms of earnings quality, net operating cash flow turned positive at RMB 29.5032 million in 1H2026, up 85.62% year on year, and full-year 2025 operating cash flow turned positive at RMB 172 million, indicating improved cash flow even though the profit line remains loss-making. Overall, the company is in a stage where revenue is ramping up while losses are widening, and the earnings inflection point has not yet been confirmed.

3.2 Earnings Forecasts

Sell-side consensus estimates are aggregated from Eastmoney HSF10 and are available under two methodologies: the web page, covering approximately seven brokers through 2026-08/09, and the soft page, covering approximately five brokers. The two sets differ significantly, with 2026E net profit of RMB 75 million versus RMB 106 million, respectively, because the institutions included and report-update dates differ; some brokers are still using models prepared before the interim report. These are “multi-broker aggregates,” but the methodologies are not uniform. Forecasts from the previous month were EPS of RMB 0.9086 for 2026E from seven brokers, RMB 2.3171 for 2027E from seven brokers and RMB 3.5020 for 2028E from five brokers, indicating that 2026 expectations have been lowered. Specific broker forecasts are as follows: GF Securities (2026-07-31) forecasts 2026/2027/2028 revenue of RMB 1.25/1.81/2.54 billion and uses a 25x 2026 PS valuation, without providing explicit net-profit figures; Guosheng Securities (2026-05-05) forecasts revenue of RMB 1.275/1.893/2.566 billion and attributable net profit of RMB 100/240/330 million; Guolian Minsheng (2026-08-09) forecasts attributable net profit of RMB 21/223/535 million, corresponding to P/E ratios of 1320x/122x/51x; Soochow Securities (2026-08-09) forecasts attributable net profit of RMB 30/189/443 million and P/E ratios of 947.35/151.97/64.90x; Northeast Securities (2026-03-24) forecasts EPS of RMB 1.95 in 2026 and RMB 4.90 in 2027, the most optimistic forecast; Shanxi Securities (2026-02-13) forecasts EPS of -RMB 0.46 in 2026, RMB 0.30 in 2027 and RMB 1.55 in 2028, clearly conservative and based on a pre-interim-report methodology; and CICC Fortune Securities (2026-05) forecasts EPS of RMB 1.51/2.56/4.91 for 2026/2027/2028, with a target price of RMB 427.52. Forecast dispersion is extremely high: 2026 attributable-net-profit forecasts range from approximately RMB 21 million at Guolian Minsheng to RMB 195 million at Northeast Securities. Tonghuashun’s aggregate shows a high of RMB 184 million, a low of RMB 27 million and an average of RMB 85.725 million. 2026E EPS ranges from -RMB 0.46 to RMB 1.95. The divergence is rooted in uncertainty over the ramp-up pace of optical communications and consumer electronics, automotive impairment and integration expenses, and the company’s continued loss-making status.

3.3 Valuation and Institutional Ratings

As of approximately 2026-09-11, Focuslight Technologies’ share price was approximately RMB 286.60, with total and free-float market capitalization of approximately RMB 37.298 billion; the reference price on 2026-09-09 was RMB 302.55, with market capitalization of approximately RMB 39.37 billion. Because the company is loss-making, P/E ratios are negative: static P/E, based on 2025 net profit of -RMB 38.41 million, was approximately -971; trailing P/E was approximately -462; dynamic P/E was approximately -277 to -293; dynamic P/B was approximately 16.4x on 09-11 and 17.3x on 09-09; P/S was approximately 41x on a TTM basis, approximately 29x for 2026E, 19x for 2027E and 14x for 2028E. The 52-week range was approximately RMB 61.72–424.88 (Investing.com; reference range, not official). Industry comparison, based on Eastmoney’s industry comparison table and 2026 interim-report data, shows P/E (TTM) of -462.19 versus an industry average of 143.42; 2026E P/E of 497.30 versus an industry average of 174.53; and P/S (TTM) of 41.18 versus an industry average of 18.15. Valuation is significantly above the industry average. In terms of ratings, six institutions covered the company in the six months through 2026-07-08: four “Buy” and two “Outperform.” Guolian Minsheng’s “Recommend” and Soochow Securities’ “Outperform” were added in August. Target prices vary substantially, from RMB 208.00 to RMB 427.52: GF Securities RMB 240.33 using a PS method, CICC Fortune Securities RMB 427.52 and Guotai Haitong Securities RMB 208.00 using 8.4x 2026 P/B. Baidu’s “institutional forecast” aggregate shows an average target price of RMB 317.76, a high of RMB 427.52 and a low of RMB 208.00 from three institutions. Tonghuashun reported an average 2026 target price of RMB 410.00 from six institutions in the six months through 2026-07-08. The wide target-price dispersion and mixed valuation frameworks—PS, P/B and PEG—indicate substantial disagreement over the appropriate valuation anchor for the company before it reaches profitability.

4. Recent News and Announcements

4.1 Private-Placement Proposal Approved by Shareholders; Proceeds Not to Exceed RMB 1.021 Billion

On August 8, 2026, the company disclosed its 2026 private-placement proposal for A shares. It plans to issue no more than approximately 6.5069 million shares, representing no more than 5% of pre-issuance total shares, and to raise no more than RMB 1.021 billion. Approximately RMB 391 million will be used for a project to develop and industrialize core optical components for high-end optical interconnects; approximately RMB 303 million for an industrialization project involving high-performance substrate materials for high-speed optical-communications lasers; approximately RMB 27 million for an industrialization project involving high-end equipment for core optical-interconnect components; and approximately RMB 300 million to supplement working capital. On August 25, 2026, the relevant proposals were approved at the company’s fourth extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, with approval rates of 99.2739%. As of September 12, 2026, the issuance still requires approval by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and registration approval from the CSRC. Whether and when the issuance can be completed remains uncertain. In the short term, the transaction may lead to share-capital expansion, EPS dilution and delays or underperformance in the funded projects.

4.2 Revenue Growth in 1H2026, but the Company Remains Loss-Making

As of June 30, 2026, operating revenue was approximately RMB 418.57 million, up 6.57% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders was -RMB 67.2288 million. The company remained loss-making. At the August 12, 2026 earnings briefing, management stated that the first-half loss was mainly affected by asset impairment, share-based compensation expenses and changes in foreign-exchange gains and losses. Asset impairment losses increased by approximately RMB 49.81 million year on year, share-based compensation expenses increased by approximately RMB 18.86 million and foreign-exchange losses increased by approximately RMB 20.55 million. Emerging businesses including optical communications, consumer electronics and general semiconductor processes continued to grow, but their revenue contribution remained relatively low, while traditional businesses faced pressure from industry cycles, market demand and intensifying competition. As of September 12, 2026, no new 2026 earnings preannouncement or earnings flash report had been identified; the latest earnings information remains the 2026 interim report.

4.3 Abnormal Stock Trading; Company Warns of Continued Losses and Transformation Risks

From August 12 to August 14, 2026, the cumulative deviation in the closing price exceeded 30% over three consecutive trading days. The company disclosed an announcement on abnormal stock trading on August 15. Following an internal review and verification with the controlling shareholder and actual controller, the company stated that, apart from publicly disclosed information, there was no material information that should have been disclosed but had not been disclosed. The company also noted that net profit attributable to shareholders remained negative in 1H2026; emerging businesses such as optical communications and consumer electronics still accounted for a relatively small proportion of revenue; traditional businesses faced revenue pressure; the private placement remained under review; completion of the placement could result in short-term EPS dilution; and the funded projects could be affected by market demand, technological iteration, customer introduction, capacity ramp-up and construction progress.

4.4 Concert-Party Relationship Terminated; Controlling Shareholder and Actual Controller Unchanged

On May 26, 2026, controlling shareholder and actual controller Liu Xingsheng and certain concert parties, including Song Tao, Yan Suibin, Hou Dong, Li Xiaoning, Tian Ye, Ningbo Xinju and Ningbo Jichen, signed an agreement terminating their concert-party relationship. The matter did not involve a share transfer. Following the termination, Liu Xingsheng remained the controlling shareholder and actual controller, and control did not change. Liu Xingsheng and concert party Ningbo Ningju together controlled approximately 13.5751% of voting rights. From March 17 to May 21, 2026, Wang Donghui reduced his holdings by 898,595 shares through centralized bidding, representing approximately 1% of total shares at that time, for total proceeds of approximately RMB 400.72 million. Following the disposal, his stake was approximately 2.6427%. Xi’an CAS and Shaanxi Integrated Circuit disclosed the implementation results of their disposal plans in June 2026, with combined proceeds of approximately RMB 212.98 million and an actual reduction of approximately 0.4557%; the relevant plan of Xigaotou was partly unimplemented. In June 2026, Hou Dong, Ye Yiping and Zhang Xuefeng also made small disposals. As of September 12, 2026, no new material disposal plans by the controlling shareholder or actual controller, nor any new share-repurchase plan or progress announcement, had been identified.

4.5 CFO Replaced and Board-Nominee Process Advanced

On September 9, 2026, Ye Yiping resigned as a director and chief financial officer because of an adjustment to her responsibilities. She will continue to serve as the company’s chief governance and administrative officer, and the company stated that her resignation would not affect day-to-day operations. On September 10, the board approved the appointment of Hong Wang (Wang Hong) as CFO, with a term ending upon expiration of the fourth board’s term. Wang Hong was also nominated as a candidate for a non-independent director of the fourth board, with the election to be submitted to the fifth extraordinary shareholders’ meeting scheduled for September 28, 2026.

4.6 Restricted Shares Granted to 15 Key Employees; Estimated Amortization Expense of Approximately RMB 19.5507 Million

On September 10, 2026, the company determined the reserved grant date and granted 286,200 Class II restricted shares to 15 key employees at RMB 259.51 per share. The grant represented approximately 0.220% of total shares at the time of the reserved grant. The equity incentive is expected to result in total amortization expenses of approximately RMB 19.5507 million, including approximately RMB 3.3745 million in 2026, RMB 9.3534 million in 2027, RMB 4.8711 million in 2028 and RMB 1.9517 million in 2029. The measure should help stabilize the core team but will result in share-based compensation expenses and potential share-capital dilution.

4.7 Market-Value Management System Adopted, but No Specific Repurchase or Purchase Plan Disclosed

On August 26, 2026, the company held the 27th meeting of the fourth board and approved the Market Value Management System, which was disclosed on August 27. The system was formulated with reference to the Guidelines for the Supervision of Listed Companies No. 10—Market Value Management and relevant STAR Market self-regulatory rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It aims to standardize the company’s market-value management practices, promote investment-value enhancement and improve investor returns. The measure does not constitute a share repurchase, share purchase or other direct market-value maintenance action. As of September 12, 2026, no specific repurchase amount, repurchase price range or controlling-shareholder purchase plan had been identified.

4.8 Subsidiary Plans to Sign Technology License Agreement with a One-Time License Fee of US$13 Million

On June 11, 2026, the company disclosed that its wholly owned subsidiary Focuslight Switzerland planned to enter into a technology license agreement with a leading global semiconductor foundry, referred to as “AH Company,” covering technologies related to micro-prism lens arrays and vertical optical couplers. The agreement provides for a one-time technology license fee of US$13 million, plus royalties on licensed products. The license is global and non-exclusive, and Focuslight Switzerland will also provide technology transfer, process establishment and validation services. The company stated that the matter does not constitute a related-party transaction or material asset restructuring, and is not an acquisition but rather a technology licensing and industry cooperation arrangement. Risks include a lengthy execution cycle, lower-than-expected market acceptance of the technology route and potential replacement of the CPO edge-coupling route.

4.9 Regulatory Matters Mainly Concern Private-Placement Information Disclosure; No New Material Penalties Identified

On August 8, 2026, the company disclosed an announcement regarding regulatory measures or penalties imposed by securities regulators or stock exchanges during the previous five years. The disclosure was mainly required in connection with the private placement. As of September 12, 2026, no new material administrative penalties, filing investigations, exchange disciplinary actions or regulatory inquiry letters received between August and September 2026 had been identified. This conclusion is based on the list of announcements searchable as of September 12, 2026 and cannot exclude delays in announcement disclosure or subsequent new matters.

5. Share-Price Performance and Technical Analysis

5.1 Price Overview

5.2 Technical Indicators

As of September 11, 2026, Focuslight Technologies closed at RMB 286.60, down 9.02% on the day, with turnover of RMB 3.727 billion and a turnover ratio of 9.83%. The stock recently showed a sharp rise followed by a retreat and high volatility. The closing price fell below the MA5 and MA10 and was slightly below the MA20 and Bollinger middle band. MACD was negative, while RSI was approximately 40 and had not entered the usual oversold zone. The technical picture indicates weak short-term momentum but some potential for recovery. Net outflow from major investors was approximately RMB 264 million on September 11, while the margin balance was approximately RMB 1.787 billion. Both capital flows and leveraged trading indicate that short-term volatility warrants attention. The top 10 free-float shareholders held approximately 33.16% in aggregate, but the data are as of June 30, 2026 and lag current conditions, so they cannot directly represent the current real-time ownership structure.

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

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

① Key Technical Levels

② Scenarios for the Next Week (Subjective Weights, Not Statistical Probabilities)

• Range-bound consolidation (relatively higher weight, approximately six-tenths; this weight is a subjective heuristic based on the current technical picture and capital flows, not a statistical probability): price range of approximately RMB 277–305. Trigger conditions include stabilization near RMB 277, turnover falling back to approximately RMB 2.5–3.5 billion and no effective break above RMB 305. Under this scenario, the stock may oscillate between RMB 277 and RMB 294 before testing whether it can recover the MA10 area around RMB 296
• Weak decline (medium weight; this weight is a subjective heuristic, not a statistical probability): price range of approximately RMB 258–277. Trigger conditions include an effective break below RMB 277, continued net outflows from major investors, simultaneous weakness in electronics, semiconductor or STAR Market sectors, or a high-volume daily decline with the close near the day’s low. If RMB 258–263 still fails to provide effective support, the stock may continue to test the area around the Bollinger lower band
• Strong rebound (low weight; this weight is a subjective heuristic, not a statistical probability): price range of approximately RMB 305–322. Trigger conditions include reclaiming RMB 296 and then breaking above RMB 305, together with daily turnover recovering above RMB 3.5 billion and major-investor flows turning from net outflows to net inflows. An effective break above RMB 315 could lead to another test of the September 10 high of RMB 322.24. Because the stock just experienced a high-volume decline on September 11, this scenario requires simultaneous improvement in volume and capital flows; a rebound from low levels alone should not be interpreted as a trend reversal

③ Capital and Liquidity Background

Over the latest eight trading days, the turnover ratio was approximately 6.31%–10.51% and turnover approximately RMB 2.286–4.208 billion. On September 11, 2026, turnover was RMB 3.727 billion and the turnover ratio was 9.83%, significantly above the STAR Market’s weighted average turnover ratio of 1.88% that day. High turnover indicates active share exchange, but the high-volume decline and approximately RMB 264 million net outflow from major investors on September 11 suggest a high-volatility divergence phase. The top 10 free-float shareholders held approximately 33.16% as of June 30, 2026, but the quarterly lag means this cannot directly determine actual ownership stability on September 11. The margin balance was approximately RMB 1.787 billion as of September 11, representing 4.79% of free-float market capitalization. Leveraged participation was not low and may amplify short-term volatility.

Volume-confirmation signals that can be monitored include the following: if daily turnover subsequently reaches or exceeds RMB 3.5 billion for several consecutive sessions, while the closing price recovers the RMB 296–305 range and major-investor flows turn positive, this could confirm improved short-term capital support. If turnover increases but the stock continues to close below RMB 277, the move would be more consistent with high-volume distribution or risk release.

④ Key Points to Monitor (For Observation Only; Not Trading Instructions)

• Observe whether the stock stabilizes in the RMB 277–283 range; if it breaks below, focus on the strong-support zone of RMB 258–263. This is an observation framework, not a trading instruction.
• Observe whether the stock can recover the MA10 area around RMB 296 and subsequently break through the RMB 305 resistance zone. This is an observation framework, not a trading instruction.
• Observe whether a high-volume rise is accompanied by net inflows from major investors, and avoid mistaking a high-turnover rebound alone for a trend reversal. This is an observation framework, not a trading instruction.
• Observe whether the share price strengthens in tandem with a continued increase in the margin balance; if the margin balance rises while the price continues to fall, leveraged investors may be under increasing pressure. This is an observation framework, not a trading instruction.

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

6. Industry Landscape and Competitor Analysis

7. Risk Factors

• Risk of continued losses and failure to deliver earnings: The company has been loss-making from 2024 through 1H2026. Net profit attributable to shareholders was -RMB 67.2288 million in 1H2026, while the second-quarter single-quarter loss widened to -RMB 54.0262 million. Market consensus forecasts for 2026 net profit vary substantially, and the earnings inflection point remains uncertain.
• Asset-impairment and automotive-business risks: Total asset impairment losses were RMB 66.3811 million in 1H2026, including RMB 31.0016 million in goodwill impairment related to the automotive business. All automotive LiDAR designated projects were cancelled. If the related business remains under pressure, goodwill, inventory and future earnings could be affected.
• Risk that new-business ramp-up falls short of expectations: Optical communications, consumer electronics and general semiconductor processes continued to grow, but some emerging businesses still account for a relatively small proportion of revenue. Growth depends on customer introduction, product validation, technology-route selection and capacity ramp-up. If demand, customer introduction or technological iteration falls short of expectations, revenue growth could slow.
• Private-placement execution and funded-project risks: The company plans to raise no more than RMB 1.021 billion, but the issuance still requires stock-exchange review and CSRC registration. The timing and outcome remain uncertain. Even if completed, the placement may expand share capital and dilute EPS. The funded projects also face risks related to construction progress, market demand and capacity ramp-up.
• Expense and earnings-quality risks: The company disclosed that 1H2026 share-based compensation expenses increased by approximately RMB 18.86 million year on year and foreign-exchange losses increased by approximately RMB 20.55 million. The reserved restricted-share award is expected to generate amortization expenses of approximately RMB 19.5507 million. These expenses may continue to weigh on earnings.
• Valuation and share-price volatility risks: As of September 11, 2026, the company had market capitalization of approximately RMB 37.298 billion and P/B of approximately 16.40x; dynamic P/E is not meaningful because of losses. The share price fell 9.02% that day, the turnover ratio was 9.83%, net outflow from major investors was approximately RMB 264 million and the margin balance was approximately RMB 1.787 billion. High valuation combined with leveraged participation may amplify price volatility.
• Technology-license and technology-route risks: Focuslight Switzerland plans to receive a one-time license fee of US$13 million plus royalties under a global, non-exclusive technology license agreement. However, the project faces risks including a lengthy execution cycle, insufficient market acceptance of the technology route and replacement of the CPO edge-coupling route.
• Shareholder and management-change risks: Some concert-party relationships have been terminated, and major shareholders and related personnel have records of share disposals. The CFO was replaced in September 2026, and Wang Hong has been nominated as a candidate for a non-independent director. These changes may increase uncertainty regarding corporate governance and market expectations.

8. Conclusion and Outlook

Focuslight Technologies’ growth thesis is primarily based on the ramp-up of emerging businesses including optical communications, micro/nano optics, consumer electronics and general semiconductor processes, as well as the enhancement of its industrialization capabilities in high-end optical-interconnect core components, substrate materials and equipment following the private placement. Optical-communications revenue grew 214.89% year on year in 1H2026, while consumer electronics and general semiconductor processes also maintained rapid growth. If customer introduction, product validation and capacity construction proceed smoothly, the company’s revenue mix could tilt further toward high-growth businesses.

However, the company is currently in a stage where revenue growth coexists with widening losses. Asset impairment and the cancellation of automotive projects were significant drags on 1H2026 results, while revenue from traditional industrial, healthcare and automotive businesses declined. Market forecasts for 2026–2028 earnings vary widely, with 2026 attributable-net-profit estimates ranging from approximately RMB 21 million to RMB 195 million. This reflects substantial uncertainty over the ramp-up pace of new businesses, integration expenses and earnings delivery.

Key areas to monitor include whether optical communications and consumer electronics can sustain their growth, whether general semiconductor-process operations can continue expanding, the review process for the private placement, the construction progress of funded projects, and whether asset impairment and share-based compensation expenses subside. Whether the company can convert improved operating cash flow into sustainable profitability will determine whether its high valuation can ultimately be supported by earnings. In the short term, the share price is being affected jointly by high turnover, a rising margin balance, net outflows from major investors and a weak technical picture.
