CMBI issued a research report stating that WEICHAI POWER (02338.HK)'s AIDC (Artificial Intelligence Data Center) engine business has recorded strong growth, driving a re-rating of its power and energy segment. The contribution of this segment to EBITDA is expected to surge from 17% in 2026 to 38% in 2028.

The report noted that in 1Q26, WEICHAI POWER's power-related engines, particularly AIDC backup power engines, recorded 2.4x YoY growth, indicating that the company is steadily capturing growth opportunities in the AIDC sector.
