Yangjie rides power-chip upcycle; EU sanctions and insider-trading probe cloud outlook
H1 profit jumps 28% on AI, EV and solar demand Yangjie's first-half 2026 net profit rose 28.18% to 771 million yuan and revenue climbed 30.69% to 4.515 billion yuan. Surging demand for power chips used in AI data centers, electric vehicles and solar-storage-charging systems drove the gains, with automotive and silicon-carbide revenue roughly doubling. Strong results support the stock price.
The actual reported earnings confirm the upcycle is translating into profit growth, the core positive force for the stock.
First-three-quarter profit guidance points to continued growth Yangjie guided first-three-quarter 2026 net profit to 1.168-1.363 billion yuan, up 20-40% year on year. The forecast, disclosed alongside broadly positive results from other A-share firms, signals the power-semiconductor upcycle is still feeding through to earnings, supporting the stock.
Forward guidance extends the growth story beyond the already-reported first half, a fresh positive catalyst.
EU sanctions on Yangjie disrupt customer supply, hit margins EU sanctions on Yangjie disrupted component supply for customer Delta Electronics, contributing to a second-quarter gross-margin decline at Delta. Kasikorn Securities cut Delta's profit forecasts and target price. The sanctions raise uncertainty over Yangjie's overseas sales and customer relationships, a real drag on the stock.
This is the main external risk weighing on Yangjie, showing sanctions are already hurting customers and margins.
Insider-trading penalty linked to Yangjie M&A draws scrutiny A Jiangxi regulatory penalty in an insider-trading case involved trading around Yangjie's March 2025 M&A announcement. The penalized party shares a name with Yangjie's former board secretary, and another name matches subsidiary personnel. Yangjie says it is unaware. The link invites regulatory and legal scrutiny, a negative overhang.
Governance and regulatory risk can weigh on investor confidence and valuation, a counterweight to the strong earnings.
