ZTE (00763) announced interim results, net profit of 2,753 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 45.57%

According to the Zhitong Finance App, ZTE (00763) announced the interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Group's revenue was RMB 78.025 billion, up 9.05% year on year; net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was RMB 2,753 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 45.57%; and basic earnings per share were RMB 0.58.

Currently, AI technology continues to iterate at a high speed, and the Group proposed the strategic concept of “All in AI, AI for All”. On the one hand, the Group fully internalized the dividends of AI technology, deeply embedding intelligent capabilities into networks, computing power, terminals, etc., reshaping communication networks and products and solutions for enterprises, households and consumers with the original AI concept, and making every effort to accelerate the intelligent transformation of organizations. On the other hand, in the face of uncertainty, the Group fully considers the nonlinear characteristics of AI technology iteration. Through the four dimensions of open decoupling, flexible expansion, extreme collaboration, and scenario adaptation, the Group maintains flexibility and openness in architectural design, reserves space for dynamic adjustment in resource layout, and builds an AI resilience system that “runs fast in small steps and evolves at full speed”.

In the future, computing power, networks, energy and algorithms will collaborate to embed AI into all aspects of social operation, and aim for a new stage of “human-robot symbiosis”. The Group will adhere to the ecological position of value contributors, continue to innovate and break through, and work with global partners to build a more prosperous ecosystem.

The Group began chip research and development in 1996, and has continued to strengthen investment in advanced architecture, package design, process design, core intellectual property rights, digital and efficient development platforms, and focuses on system-level performance improvements. It has made breakthroughs in key technologies such as heterogeneous computing, Chiplet interconnection, 3D stacked packaging, and collaborative software and hardware tuning, and has industry-leading chip design capabilities throughout the entire process. The Group is rooted in DICT chip underlying technology research and development. With the integrated development of computing networks, it has built an efficient, green, and intelligent full-stack computing network base around “data, computing power, and network”. By creating a product system that meets the core needs of diverse “cloud, edge, and end” scenarios, the Group has developed customized processor chips, DPU Dinghai chips, switching chips, full-mode fusion architecture intelligent gateway chips, optical access processor chips (supporting 50G PON), 800G coherent DSP chips, etc. to support continuous competitiveness. At the same time, the Group extended its chip capabilities to the field of automotive electronics, focusing on the “connection+computing” layout module integrated central computing SoC “Lanyue” A series, the central computing platform SoC “Shake Domain” M series, and automotive-grade V2X communication chip S series and module solutions, and achieved commercial or fixed-point installation in brands such as FAW, SAIC, and GAC.

GoldenDB, the Jinzhan database independently developed by the Group, continues to innovate products to form a product matrix covering all scenarios; releases GoldenDB vector versions to create an integrated data base for the AI era. The Group's three database products, GoldenDB V7, GoldenDB Lite Database V7, and GoldenDB EBASE V3, passed the national security reliability assessment. Among them, GoldenDB Database V7 passed the distributed database level 2 evaluation, which is the highest evaluation level in the distributed database field. GoldenDB has consolidated its leading position in the field of finance and operators. According to the “China Database Industry Map (2026)” published by the China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, Jinzhan Database GoldenDB ranked first among transactional databases in the financial and telecommunications industries, and obtained the status of a leader in the government industry for the first time; it simultaneously ranks among the top transactional databases in key industries such as transportation, energy, healthcare, the Internet, and manufacturing.

The Group began independent research and development of operating systems in 2002, and has achieved a series of results in core directions such as core core, infrastructure, virtualization, intelligence, and tool chains. Real-time, reliability, security and intelligence are at the leading level in the industry, forming a full range of operating system solutions covering embedded, server, desktop, terminal and other device types. They are widely used in communications, automobiles, electricity, rail transit, civil aviation and other industries to provide customers around the world with powerful, safe, reliable, and ecologically sound basic software support. With the drastic transformation of the artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction paradigm, the Group released AIOS, a new fulcrum of artificial intelligence operating systems for smart businesses. It combines large-scale system construction, full-scene practice and AI full-stack technology based on the mature engineering capabilities of traditional OS to build a lightweight, efficient, safe and controllable intelligent operating system. It has become an AI technology foundation covering all products, and large-scale commercial use in multiple scenarios.

The Group's operating system has successively won the first prize of the China Communications Society Science and Technology Award and the 4th China Industry Award. It has passed OSDL (Open Source Development Laboratory) telecommunication-grade Linux certification, network security special product security certification (level 4), IT product information security assessment assurance level 4 (EAL4) enhanced certification, automotive electronics ISO 26262 ASIL-D management certification and product certification, IEEE (Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) POSIX PSE52 certification, server operating system safety and reliability evaluation, and software supply chain security Competency Level 3 (Optimization Level) certification.
