The increase in performance was mainly due to (1) P&S maintained steady growth driven by demand for automobiles and home appliances (2) MIM grew rapidly, and revenue began to rise along with the growth of the folding machine market (3) SMC's downstream fields such as server power supplies and chip inductors maintained rapid growth.
The MIM hinge is gradually being realized, and the emerging sector continues to grow rapidly. With the launch of new products from major customers, 24H1's MIM business revenue increased 101.11% year-on-year. Currently, it has 5 folding machine hinge module production lines, which will continue to benefit from the development of the folding machine market and the volume of products from major customers. In addition, the company lays out titanium alloy powder through shareholding to further improve the industrial chain in the fields of 3D printing and titanium powder molding. In the server and other fields, the company's server power supply and chip inductor soft magnetic material product 24H1 achieved revenue of 52.29 million yuan. At the same time, the company has successfully developed high-speed connector covers for servers. Currently, one material model has been supplied in batches and indirectly equipped with Nvidia GB200NVL72 servers. The other material model has now been verified domestically, and samples have been submitted abroad for final verification. Driven by emerging markets such as folding machines and AI computing power, the company's growth momentum is sufficient.
Catalyst: The penetration rate of folding screens continues to increase; the company's new product number verification passed.
Risk warning: Production capacity release falls short of expectations; market competition intensifies.
