Hengtong's AI-fibre boom confirmed by strong H1 results and new marine contract

State Council plan boosts UHV demand Beijing's 15th Five-Year carbon plan speeds up ultra-high-voltage power corridors, adding over 80 gigawatts of west-to-east transmission. Hengtong makes UHV transmission equipment, so more grid spending means more orders and supports its shares.
New government policy directly lifts demand for a core Hengtong product line.
Fibre capacity expansion fears hit sector Optical fibre stocks, including Hengtong, fell by their daily limit as investors worried that a wave of new factory capacity could recreate the industry's old boom-bust cycle. Insiders say new capacity faces hurdles, but the oversupply fear is a real risk to prices.
It is the main counterweight to the bullish AI-fibre story and explains sharp share-price weakness.
H1 profit jumps 93%, optical revenue up 130% Hengtong's first-half net profit rose 93.38% to 3.12 billion yuan, with optical communications revenue up over 130% on AI and data-centre spending. The actual results confirm the strong profit forecast and show the AI-driven fibre boom is real.
It is the period's key hard number proving earnings power behind the stock.
New marine energy contract and Nvidia AI demand Hengtong was preliminarily picked for a 1.831 billion yuan marine energy project, adding a fresh revenue stream. Separately, Nvidia's blowout earnings and CPO mass production lifted AI-infrastructure sentiment, benefiting optical fibre suppliers like Hengtong.
These are the newest demand signals extending Hengtong's growth beyond its core fibre business.

CIG Shanghai profit surges on AI optical-module demand; CPO rally follows

First-half profit jumps on high-speed optical module demand CIG Shanghai's first-half net profit rose 171% to 328 million yuan, with revenue up 33%, as strong demand for high-speed optical modules lifted orders and margins. This is the core force behind the stock: real earnings growth, not just sentiment.
It is the fundamental profit driver behind the stock's move.
800 million yuan fund bet on optical supply chain The company is putting 800 million yuan of its own money into a fund focused on optical components, chips and core ICs. It aims to secure supply and technology for future growth, a longer-term positive rather than an immediate profit boost.
It shows a strategic capital move that supports future growth.
AI hardware boom lifts peers and the whole sector Lenovo's record quarter, with AI revenue up 60% and server revenue up 98%, plus strong results from optical-module peer Eoptolink, show booming AI hardware demand. That lifts the whole optical-module group, including CIG Shanghai.
It explains the sector-wide demand backdrop pushing the stock up.
CPO rally and Nvidia platform: opportunity and risk Nvidia's mass-produced CPO switch promises big power and cost savings, and CPO concept stocks rallied, with CIG Shanghai hitting its daily limit. But CPO could eventually replace some pluggable optical modules, a real long-term threat to the company's main product.
It captures both the rally driver and the genuine counterweight.
