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.

These are the newest demand signals extending Hengtong's growth beyond its core fibre business.
