BDStar Navigation expects first-half net profit to surge 2,368% to 3,426% year-on-year

Microchip Technology has been selected by AnalogAI to supply its memBrain SAGE neuromorphic hardware IP for use in new edge AI processors. The collaboration centers on compute-in-memory technology targeting training and inference for adaptive robots, drones and vehicles, with AnalogAI planning to integrate memBrain SAGE into real-world, low-power AI systems designed for deployment at the network edge. Microchip Technology is a US-based semiconductor supplier with a roughly $38.5b market cap focused on smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions. The design win supports the edge-computing catalyst in the company's narrative, though analysts flag execution risk from competition, including edge-AI platforms from Nvidia and Qualcomm.

Arm CEO Rene Haas said demand is running at record strength across edge, automotive, robotics and data center, and that near-term revenue growth is capped by a multi-stage manufacturing bottleneck spanning wafers, substrates, testers and memory rather than by any softening in orders. Data-center royalty revenue more than doubled year over year last quarter, and the most recent 500 million Neoverse cores shipped in nine months after the first billion took six years, while IDC reported spending on Arm-based accelerated server platforms nearly doubled over the past two quarters and surpassed x86. Haas said his confidence in hitting the $2 billion AGI CPU target rose from May to July and again from July to September, after he earlier cut that target to $1 billion on foundry capacity worries, and Arm has secured the manufacturing capacity needed to support the $1 billion opportunity for the AGI CPU. The AGI CPU, Arm's first in-house data center chip, carries first-generation gross margin guidance in the high 30% range to low 40s with a path to 50% over the next couple of years, below core royalty margins, so silicon revenue will initially dilute reported profitability. Arm shares trade at $243.98, down 10.11% over the past month and 7.66% in the last week but up 123.2% year to date, at a trailing P/E near 247x, after Q1 FY2027 EPS of $0.25 missed the $0.40 estimate and operating margin compressed to 7% from 11%; analysts carry an average target of $288.70.

Runyang Technology recently unveiled a new physical intelligent sensing material that is flexible and deformable, can be kneaded and rubbed, and captures pressure changes in real time. It can be applied to consumer health monitoring and human-machine interaction, while also enabling tactile perception in robots and precise sensing of gripping force. Runyang Technology mainly produces IXPE, XPE, IXPP, GFOAM, MPP, and EVA series prototype environmentally friendly foam materials, with products sold to 20 countries and regions and already integrated into the supply chain system of global home improvement giant Home Depot. In the first half of 2026, the company's R&D investment reached 8.62 million yuan, up 55 percent year on year. In the embodied intelligence sector, Runyang Technology has entered the special-purpose robotics field through its controlling subsidiary Shanghai Runke Juneng. At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Runke Juneng launched a centaur special-purpose robot focused on scenarios such as the nuclear industry, oil fields, mines, and fire and emergency response. It adopts a wheel-leg hybrid configuration, can carry an average load of up to 120 kilograms, and has a core component localization rate exceeding 95 percent. In 2025, the company made a strategic investment in humanoid robot company Fourier Intelligence, opening up embodied intelligence industry chain resources. It is reported that Runyang Technology's centaur robot has signed a hundred-unit-level intent order with Shanghai Huayan Fire Protection and has deployed a mining application scenario in Yulin, Shaanxi. Small-scale mass production will begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
