Zhaofeng Shares Reports Steady Revenue Growth in First Half, Begins Mass Delivery of Core Components for Embodied Intelligence

Analysts are bullish on Shenzhen-listed Shuanghuan, a gear box supplier, despite humanoid robots remaining largely conceptual. Deutsche Bank analysts noted that Tesla has been co-developing a new type of gear box, called a reducer, with Shuanghuan for three years, potentially for use in humanoid robot waist joints. Shuanghuan will retain a controlling stake in the planned IPO of its robotics gearbox subsidiary, Fine Motion, which contributed about 5% of the parent's consolidated revenue and net profit in 2025. Deutsche Bank rates Shuanghuan a buy with a price target of 45 yuan ($6.70), while Bernstein analysts, who rate the stock outperform with a 60-yuan target, believe the market underestimates its robotics opportunity, especially as Chinese automakers expand into humanoids. UBS also rates Shuanghuan a buy with a 50-yuan target, trimming it by 3 yuan after second-quarter earnings pressure from key client BYD, but sees AI and robotics unlocking medium- to long-term growth. Morgan Stanley's wrapup of the World Robot Conference highlighted a preference for leading parts makers like Shuanghuan, citing rising standards for component suppliers as deployment begins.

Xinje Electric released its 2026 interim report on August 26. During the reporting period, the company achieved operating revenue of 1.102 billion yuan, up 25.60 percent year on year. Net profit attributable to the parent company was 155 million yuan, up 21.98 percent year on year. Non-GAAP net profit was 132 million yuan, up 12.54 percent year on year. Among these, drive system product revenue was 564 million yuan, accounting for 51.23 percent of the total and up 30.27 percent year on year. Programmable controller revenue was 366 million yuan, accounting for 33.20 percent and up 16.57 percent year on year. Embodied intelligence business revenue was 60 million yuan, surging 114.70 percent year on year and becoming the largest growth engine. The company said the profit growth mainly benefited from recovering demand in downstream new energy, semiconductor, and robotics sectors, as well as the commercial deployment of core components for humanoid robots. Research and development expenses were 109 million yuan, up 28.15 percent year on year, supporting technological breakthroughs in key components such as coreless motors and frameless torque motors. Looking ahead, the company is optimistic about opportunities brought by equipment renewal and the industrialization of humanoid robots, but it needs to watch for intensifying industry competition and accounts receivable risks.
