Tongyu bets on satellite and 6G deals while losses widen

Satellite communications fund investments Tongyu is putting small amounts of its own cash into satellite communications investment funds, aiming to deepen its industry presence. These are long-term strategic bets with no immediate profit, so they support the growth story but do not boost earnings now.
Shows the company's strategic push into satellite communications, a key part of its growth narrative.
Planned 25% stake in Jiashun Communication Tongyu plans to buy 25% of Jiashun Communication for 300 million yuan, with profit promises starting 2027. This could add future earnings and links Tongyu to 6G base station technology, but the target is currently loss-making and the deal is not yet complete.
This acquisition is the main event driving recent stock interest and ties to the 6G theme.
Clarification: no Nvidia partnership, target loss-making Tongyu clarified that Jiashun has no R&D partnership with Nvidia and its 6G products are early-stage with no commercial impact. Jiashun lost 40 million yuan in the first half of 2026. This cools the hype that had driven the stock up sharply.
Directly counters the positive Nvidia 6G narrative that fueled the stock's surge, a key counterweight.
Interim results swing to loss Tongyu reported a net loss of 22.33 million yuan for the first half of 2026, down over 200% from a profit last year. Revenue was 582 million yuan and operating cash flow was negative. This weak financial performance weighs on the stock.
The company's own weak earnings are a fundamental negative that investors must weigh against the growth story.

InterDigital Expands Licensing Beyond Phones, Raises Outlook

New Amazon streaming deal drives record recurring revenue InterDigital signed its first streaming and cloud services deal with Amazon, covering Prime Video and devices. This new business brought in $110 million last quarter and pushed annual recurring revenue to a record $626 million, up 13% from a year ago. Recurring revenue is money that keeps coming in, making future profits more predictable.
This is the core new growth driver that directly lifted revenue and guidance.
Company raises 2026 revenue and profit outlook After the Amazon deal, InterDigital raised its full-year 2026 revenue forecast by $85 million to $775–$845 million, and lifted profit guidance too. It also beat second-quarter estimates, with revenue of $260.2 million and earnings of $4.62 per share. Higher guidance tells investors the business is growing faster than expected.
Guidance raise is a direct, new signal of stronger future earnings.
Two European court injunctions against Disney strengthen licensing hand InterDigital won two court orders in Europe blocking Disney from using its video encoding patents in 11 countries. These injunctions show InterDigital can enforce its patents, which pressures Disney and other streamers to sign licensing deals. More deals mean more recurring revenue for InterDigital.
Legal wins are a new force that could force more companies to pay for InterDigital's patents.
Tesla's revived UK lawsuit could weaken FRAND licensing power The UK Supreme Court revived Tesla's lawsuit against InterDigital, ruling that joining a patent pool does not remove fair-licensing duties. This case could force InterDigital to accept lower or court-set fees for 5G patents, a potential headwind. It is a real counterweight to the positive licensing momentum.
This is the main negative legal risk that could limit future licensing revenue.
