CMBI Slightly Cuts INNOSCIENCE (02577.HK) TP to HKD74.2, Product Mix and Margin Improve in 1H
2026-09-03 11:55:44
CMBI published a research report stating that INNOSCIENCE (02577.HK)'s revenue for 1H26 rose 50.6% YoY to RMB834 million, below market expectations. Gross margin improved to 11.6% during the period, from 6.8% in the same period last year and 7.7% in 2H25, mainly benefiting from higher capacity utilization, product upgrades and optimized product mix, while operating cash flow also turned positive. Revenue from high value-added applications increased 70% YoY to RMB532 million, accounting for 64% of total revenue, up from about 57% in the same period last year. The broker expected 2H26 revenue to remain higher than 1H26 due to seasonal factors.

The broker expected INNOSCIENCE's short-term growth to continue to be driven by industrial and energy storage businesses, while the medium-term earnings contribution from AIDC will become more significant after completion of product certification and ramp-up of customer projects. The broker lowered its revenue forecast for this year by 0.1% and raised next year's forecast by 18.2%, while lowering gross margin forecasts by 7 ppts and 1.9 ppts respectively, reflecting ASP trends and management's strategy of prioritizing market share gains. It maintained a Buy rating and slightly lowered the TP from HKD75 to HKD74.2. (gc/da)~
