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.

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.
