Aurora swings to loss but computing power grows; financing and compensation plan in focus

  • First-half loss as sapphire drags Aurora expects a net loss of 3.5–7 million yuan for H1 2026, versus a 61.39 million yuan profit a year earlier. Computing power revenue grew and was profitable, but sapphire revenue fell and overall gross profit did not cover expenses. The loss is a negative for the stock.

    Directly explains the company's swing to a loss, a key negative price driver.

  • Related-party computing power deal questioned The Shanghai Stock Exchange asked about Aurora's 95.35 million yuan purchase of computing power from related party Kerong Cloud. Aurora says pricing is fair and it does not control Kerong, but the deal raises governance concerns. This is a mixed signal for the stock.

    Highlights a governance risk that could weigh on sentiment, while the company defends it.

  • Plan to unlock shares tied to old compensation Aurora proposed linking the release of locked shares to payment of long-overdue performance compensation from its 2015 restructuring. The plan could recover some money but the final amount is highly uncertain and needs shareholder approval. This is a mixed factor for the stock.

    Addresses a long-standing overhang but with uncertain outcome, affecting investor confidence.

  • 868 million yuan raise for computing power and sapphire Aurora plans a private placement of up to 868 million yuan to fund an Inner Mongolia sapphire base, a western domestic server cluster, and working capital. It also sold 22 servers for 51.5 million yuan, booking a 20.6 million yuan gain. This supports growth but dilutes existing shareholders.

    Shows concrete funding and sales progress in computing power, a positive driver despite dilution risk.

Deye's profit surges on overseas storage demand, but US/EU inverter restrictions and financial strains weigh

  • First-half profit jumps ~80% on overseas energy storage demand Deye's first-half net profit rose nearly 80% to 2.717 billion yuan, with revenue up 92%. Strong demand for home and business energy storage in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia drove sales, as volatile fuel prices and heatwaves pushed countries to boost energy security and offer storage subsidies.

    This is the core reason the stock is moving: blockbuster earnings show the business is booming.

  • US and EU plan to restrict Chinese solar inverters The US FCC added new Chinese inverter models to a restricted list, and the EU is limiting funding for projects using inverters from high-risk countries. Deye's US revenue is only 2-3%, so direct impact is small, but the rules raise future compliance costs and could slow US sales. Deye is building a Malaysia factory to soften the blow.

    This is a real regulatory threat that could cap growth and has already caused sharp swings in inverter stocks.

  • Hong Kong IPO filing reveals rising receivables, inventory, and a Syria fine Deye filed for a second Hong Kong listing. The filing showed accounts receivable jumped to 2.04 billion yuan and inventory to 3.08 billion yuan, plus a potential $755,000 fine over a Syria sales violation and a 172 million yuan exchange loss. These signal financial strain even as revenue grows.

    The IPO disclosure highlights balance-sheet risks that could worry investors and pressure the stock.

  • Solar industry losses contrast with Deye's strong profit Major solar makers like LONGi and Tongwei expect combined first-half losses over 10 billion yuan, but Deye, in the auxiliary materials segment, is thriving. Analysts see signs of an industry bottom, which could lift sentiment for well-positioned suppliers like Deye.

    This shows Deye is outperforming a struggling sector, reinforcing its relative strength.
