Midea Group (000333.SZ) is scheduled to release its first-quarter financial report for 2026 on April 30, 2026. According to data from the Changyang Yongxu quarterly performance forecast as of April 4, 2026, the company's net profit is projected to be 11.785 billion yuan, reflecting a year-on-year decrease of 5.1%. Investors are advised to monitor whether the actual results will exceed expectations once the financial data is disclosed. The Changyang Yongxu A-share quarterly performance forecast provides valuable insights for performance evaluation.
Recent analysis from Nomura Orient International Securities highlights that Midea Group's 2025 annual report showed a 12.1% year-on-year increase in total revenue and a 14.0% rise in net profit attributable to shareholders. However, net profit fell short of expectations, primarily due to losses from acquired assets. Revenue growth was supported by acquisitions in the business-to-business (B2B) sector, the advancement of the original brand manufacturing (OBM) strategy in overseas markets, and growth in high-end consumer brands. Despite competitive pressures and rising raw material costs, the company improved its gross-to-sales margin through operational efficiency and product portfolio optimization. In the short term, B2B business growth is expected to outpace the consumer segment, with full-year revenue projected to outperform competitors. Midea has increased its cash dividend payout ratio and plans share repurchases, reinforcing its appeal as a dividend asset.
Breakdown by business segment: 1. B2B business: Achieved a 35.2% year-on-year growth in 2025, with strong performance in industrial technology and other innovative businesses, including a 209% increase in the fourth quarter. 2. Overseas OBM business in the consumer segment: Accounted for over 45% of overseas consumer revenue in 2025, up from 43% in 2024. 3. Dual high-end brands (Toshiba and COLMO): Recorded a 15% revenue growth in 2025, outperforming the overall consumer segment.
Everbright Securities noted that Midea Group's 2025 annual report demonstrated double-digit growth in both revenue and net profit, rising 12.1% and 14.0% year-on-year, respectively, indicating strong profitability and operational resilience. Although fourth-quarter profits faced temporary pressure, the annual dividend payout ratio reached 73.6%, and share repurchases returned over 44 billion yuan to shareholders, underscoring the company's commitment to shareholder value and confidence in future growth. Domestic sales remained stable, while overseas sales saw significant growth, with the contribution of international revenue increasing to 42.7%, highlighting the success of the company's global strategy. While profitability and operational quality faced short-term challenges, long-term prospects remain positive, with stable gross and net profit margins. The B2B segment continues to grow rapidly, supported by the full implementation of AI strategies and sustained increases in research and development (R&D) investment. The company plans to invest over 60 billion yuan in R&D over the next three years to build long-term competitive advantages.
