Shenzhen HQVT Technology Co., Ltd. (01392.HK), a leader in China's multispectral artificial intelligence sector, has published its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 — the company's first operational report since listing on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 22, 2026.

Revenue Up 84.5% on Foundation Model Growth

HQVT reported consolidated interim operating revenue of RMB 410.5 million, up 84.5% year over year. The growth was driven primarily by multispectral AI foundation model services, which surged 382.5% to RMB 320.0 million. Excluding non-recurring listing expenses, adjusted net profit rose 21.9% to RMB 27.6 million, while net cash used in operating activities narrowed by 50.2% to RMB 34.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 595.6 million as of June 30, 2026, reflecting a sound financial position.

"Super Eye" Platform and Deployment Wins

The company's growth is underpinned by its proprietary "Super Eye" perceptual platform, which extends detection capabilities beyond visible light into ultraviolet and thermal infrared bands. Processed via the "Zhiyuan Origin Large Model," the technology enables early detection of micro-arcing, dielectric degradation, and thermal spikes, helping prevent potential fires. The approach addresses a growing pain point for operators of data centers and power infrastructure, where electrical faults that are invisible to conventional cameras can escalate into costly outages and fire incidents. HQVT has deployed the system through a three-tier defense matrix used in Internet Data Centers (IDC), electrical power systems, and new energy infrastructure.

During the first half, HQVT secured large-scale AI foundation model deployment contracts from a prominent Shanghai state-owned enterprise and a Shenzhen-listed enterprise. It also entered a strategic collaboration with Deep Robotics to integrate multispectral AI modules into quadruped robotic inspection platforms.

Edge AI Breakthrough

A significant technical milestone was the migration of HQVT's foundation model to edge AI terminals powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. The shift aligns with a broader industry move toward running AI inference on-device rather than in the cloud, eliminating the need for on-premise compute servers, reducing latency, and lowering capital expenditures, making the technology accessible to a broader market including small and medium-sized enterprises. The edge breakthrough is seen as a key catalyst for commercialization, as smaller hardware footprints typically open up customer segments that cloud-dependent deployments cannot economically reach.

R&D Investment and Market Position

HQVT expanded R&D expenditure by 125.3% year over year, maintained an R&D headcount ratio of 43.1%, and holds 158 registered patents — including 101 invention patents — plus 46 software copyrights. The company's market position is reinforced by Frost & Sullivan data, ranking it first in China's multispectral AI industry and first in the multispectral AI large model services segment by revenue. LeadLeo Research also recognized HQVT as a top 10 benchmark vendor in China's physical AI industry application practice.

Index Inclusion and International Expansion

HQVT's inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index takes effect September 7, 2026, enabling mainland Chinese investors to trade its shares via the Stock Connect programs — a step that could broaden the investor base and enhance trading liquidity. Index eligibility so soon after listing is notable, as Hang Seng Composite Index inclusion is a common gateway for recently listed Hong Kong stocks to reach southbound capital flows. The company plans to deploy IPO capital toward capacity expansion, edge-model iterations, and international go-to-market strategies, including a partnership with Singapore-based LINKWISE targeting Southeast Asian data centers and channel rollouts in the Middle East and Europe.

Soochow Securities, in its inaugural coverage, assigned a "Buy" rating with a target price of HK$58.57, implying significant upside from the September 4 closing price of HK$27.42, citing the company's scarcity value as the only Hong Kong Main Board-listed multispectral physical AI pure-play.
