Star-Net Ruijie rides AI data-centre switch boom to profit surge

H1 profit guidance up 46-103% on data-centre switches The company told the market first-half 2026 net profit should rise 46-103% year on year, driven by a sharp jump in data-centre switch sales to internet customers. That is the core reason the stock has been bid up, and it also warned rising chip prices could squeeze margins.
This is the fundamental earnings driver behind the stock's rise.
IPv6 push adds a second demand tailwind Beijing launched a one-year drive to make AI large models fully IPv6-capable, and industry estimates put IPv6-related hardware and upgrade spending above 300 billion yuan through 2030. As an IPv6 equipment supplier, Star-Net Ruijie stands to win orders, and leveraged funds have already been buying the stock.
A new policy-driven demand source that supports future revenue.
Buys 46% of Guangzhou Xinde for 396 million yuan Star-Net Ruijie will pay 396 million yuan cash to lift its stake in optical-access maker Guangzhou Xinde to 67%, making it a subsidiary. Xinde earned 66 million yuan in 2025 and promises at least 75 million in 2026, so the deal should add to group profit and fits the optical business.
A concrete capital move that adds earnings and strategic fit.
Interim profit up 76%, but cash flow turns sharply negative First-half revenue rose 20.7% to 10.7 billion yuan and net profit jumped 75.9% to 373 million yuan, a fifth straight year of growth. However, operating cash flow was negative 3.57 billion yuan, far worse than a year earlier, a real counterweight investors should watch.
Confirms strong earnings but flags a genuine cash-flow risk.

EmbedWay bets on supernodes and funds while core business revenue falls

Supernode R&D taps China's AI infrastructure buildout EmbedWay says its intelligent computing supernodes use its own orthogonal architecture, with core tech in structure, high-speed signals, cooling and power already mature, and it is doing custom development with partners. Alibaba's Zhenwu supernode running Qwen3.8 shows supernodes are becoming a key domestic AI infrastructure direction, which could lift demand for EmbedWay's interconnect and cabinet products.
This is the main new growth story that could drive future revenue and investor interest.
Two venture fund investments broaden hard-tech exposure EmbedWay plans to put 29 million yuan into a hard-tech fund (19.33% stake) and 15 million yuan into a Tianjin information-tech fund. These are small bets on chips, servers and computing infrastructure that could open investment channels and add future profit, but returns are uncertain and the money is locked up, so the near-term effect on earnings is limited.
New capital allocation moves that could affect future profitability and show strategic direction.
First-half revenue falls on delayed carrier projects EmbedWay's H1 revenue dropped 12.1% to 430 million yuan, with Q2 revenue down 30.9% and profit down 36.8%. Network visualization revenue fell 27.18% because telecom carriers delayed centralized procurement. Operating cash flow fell 60%. This shows the core business is under real pressure, which weighs on the stock.
The interim report reveals weakening core operations, a key counterweight to the growth story.
Acquiring Shuheng Technology expands business scope EmbedWay will pay 437 million yuan for a 49.37% stake in Shuheng Technology and inject another 30 million yuan, giving it 51% control. This adds a new consolidated subsidiary and broadens its business, which could support future revenue, though the price and integration risk are not yet clear.
A major acquisition that changes EmbedWay's business perimeter and could affect earnings.
