P/E (x)
39.86
21.02 16.64
P/B (x)
7.54
4.8 3.8
Judgment on Valuation Recovery Path
  1. Core Driver is Not High Dividend Yield
    : The current dividend yield of 0.54% is relatively low, making it difficult to serve as the main support for valuation recovery

  2. Valuation Recovery Driven by High Performance Growth
    :

    • Revenue from the AI server business in the first three quarters increased by
      over 300% year-on-year
      [2]
    • The cloud computing business accounts for
      60%
      of total revenue [1]
    • Net profit in Q3 alone
      exceeded RMB 10 billion
      (year-on-year +62%) [2]
  3. Valuation Recovery Path
    : The P/E ratio is expected to gradually drop from the current
    40x to 17x in 2027
    , mainly driven by profit growth

  4. Signal of Continuous Enhancement of Shareholder Returns
    :

    • Cumulative dividends since listing have exceeded
      RMB 56.5 billion
      , with annual dividends exceeding RMB 10 billion for three consecutive years [1]
    • First launch of interim dividend distribution, increasing dividend frequency
    • Company statement:
      The intensity of cash returns is expected to steadily increase
      [4]

5. Conclusions and Investment Recommendations
Dividend Distribution Impact Assessment
  • ✓ Short-term cash flow will decrease by approximately RMB 6.5 billion, but the company has
    sufficient payment capacity
  • ✓ Dividend accounts for 54% of net profit, which is at a
    reasonable and healthy level
  • ✓ Will not affect the company’s core
    investment and expansion plans
Valuation Recovery Judgment
  • High performance growth is the core driver of valuation recovery
  • ✓ High dividend yield (current 0.54%)
    is not the main support for valuation recovery
  • ✓ Valuation recovery is expected to be achieved through
    profit growth driving
    (P/E from 40x to 17x)
Risk Warning
  • ⚠ Risk of short-term sharp fluctuations in share price
  • ⚠ Risk of AI capital expenditure falling short of expectations
  • ⚠ Risk of intensified industry competition
