EHang Withdraws 2026 Revenue Guidance Amid Regulatory Delays

China has declared the low-altitude economy a national strategy under the concept of New Productive Forces. By 2026, cargo drones, agricultural drones, and flying taxis (eVTOL) will begin commercial services in several provinces, creating enormous economic value from the supply chain in airspace below 1,000 meters. Two standout case studies are EHang Holdings, the first Chinese company to receive a Type Certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for commercial eVTOL, and Sichuan Jiuzhou, a state-owned enterprise that produces radar and ADS-B systems and controls air traffic infrastructure. Both companies have strong business moats in terms of regulation and national security. While the world is focused on the EV price war, a new battleground over China's skies has opened, and the winners will be those who secure licenses and infrastructure first.

Against the backdrop of crowded trading in A-share technology hot sectors and amplified short-term volatility, institutions recommend that investors shift their attention to three major sectors: the low-altitude economy, humanoid robots, and commercial aerospace, seizing pullback windows to position at lower levels. CICC believes that the intensive rollout of low-altitude economy policies is resonating with technological iteration across the industry chain, and expectations for an industry inflection point are gradually strengthening. Guoyuan Securities analyst Gong Siwen suggests focusing on whole-machine names such as Wanfeng Auto Wheel, EHang, JOUAV, and Lvneng Huichong, as well as core component names such as Zongshen Power, Wolong Electric Drive, Yingliu Shares, and Inpower. On the humanoid robot front, Unitree Robotics recently entered the capital market and is expected to provide a clearer valuation anchor for the sector, driving a shift in capital from pure thematic speculation to growth-based pricing. Huayuan Securities analyst Zhao Mengni suggests focusing on Everwin Precision, Foresight Technology, Sanhua Intelligent Controls, Tuopu Group, Leader Harmonious Drive, Shuanghuan Transmission, Hengli Hydraulic, Zhejiang Rongtai, Moons' Electric, and Zhaowei Machinery & Electronics. In commercial aerospace, the Long March 10B and Zhuque-3 have successively completed successful recoveries, and reusable rocket technology is maturing. With falling launch costs resonating with demand for low-orbit constellation networking, industrialization is expected to accelerate. Guotai Haitong Securities analyst Yang Tianhao suggests focusing on Chengchang Technology, Tongyu Communication, Sunway Communication, Shanghai Hanxun, Aerospace Electronics, Feiwo Technology, Sirui Advanced Materials, and Western Metal Materials.
