Lingyi iTech: AI pivot and buybacks offset weak first-half profit

Hong Kong IPO raises $1.06 billion for AI expansion Lingyi iTech raised $1.06 billion in a Hong Kong listing and jumped 15.9% on debut. The cash funds expansion into AI servers and robot hardware, which the company expects to overtake its smartphone parts business within two years. This gives it capital to grow beyond its core market.
The IPO is a major new capital event that directly funds the company's AI growth strategy.
Buyback raised to 400-800 million yuan Lingyi iTech increased its share buyback plan to between 400 million and 800 million yuan, part of a broad A-share buyback wave. Buybacks reduce shares outstanding and signal management confidence, which can support the stock price by boosting earnings per share and sentiment.
The buyback is a concrete capital action that can lift the share price by reducing supply and signaling confidence.
Acquires 35% of Dongguan liquid cooling firm Lingyi iTech is acquiring 35% of Dongguan Liminda Electronic Technology for 875 million yuan to enter liquid cooling for AI computing. As AI chips run hotter, liquid cooling demand is soaring, and this move positions Lingyi in a fast-growing supply chain.
This acquisition opens a new AI-driven demand stream that could diversify revenue and boost growth prospects.
First-half profit falls 17.9% on weak margins Lingyi iTech's first-half net profit fell 17.9% to 764 million yuan, with non-GAAP profit down 35.8%, even as revenue rose 6.5%. The profit decline shows core profitability is under pressure, which weighs on the stock and may offset enthusiasm about AI and buybacks.
The earnings miss is a direct negative for the stock and provides a necessary counterweight to the positive AI and capital news.

Prysmian buys Atkore, wins Amazon data-center cable deal

Prysmian to buy Atkore for $3.8bn Prysmian agreed to buy US cable maker Atkore for $3.8 billion in cash, a 30% premium. It expands Prysmian's North American electrification and data-centre business, letting it sell more products to the same customers. Bigger scale and cross-selling can lift future earnings, though the cash outlay and debt taken on are the cost.
The acquisition is the period's biggest company-specific event and directly changes Prysmian's growth outlook.
Amazon Ohio data-centre cable supply deal Prysmian will make low-carbon aluminium cables for an Amazon data centre in Ohio, using Rio Tinto metal, at its Sedalia plant. It shows Prysmian winning work in the fast-growing data-centre power market and supports its green-revenue goal. No contract value was given and the technology is early-stage, so near-term earnings impact is limited.
It is a fresh, concrete win in Prysmian's key growth market of data-centre electrification.
AI infrastructure demand keeps Prysmian in favour Investors are rewarding companies that supply the AI build-out, and Prysmian was named among outperformers on strong AI-enabling demand. Data centres and power grids need huge amounts of cable, so this trend supports Prysmian's orders and pricing. It is a broad market tailwind rather than a company announcement.
It explains the sector-wide demand force behind Prysmian's share-price support this period.
Lawyer probe into Atkore deal fairness A shareholder-rights law firm is investigating whether Atkore's $95-per-share sale to Prysmian is fair to Atkore holders. Such probes are common and rarely block deals, but they can delay closing or push for better terms. For Prysmian the risk is mainly timing and cost, not a change to its strategy.
It is the main counterweight to the acquisition news and could affect deal completion.
