Since April, Cambricon Technologies Corporation Limited's stock price has restarted its upward trajectory with consecutive significant gains, reclaiming its position as the top performer in the A-share market. This momentum is driven by first-quarter results that far exceeded market expectations. Cambricon Technologies Corporation Limited reported revenue of 2.885 billion yuan for the first quarter of 2026, representing 159.56% year-over-year growth. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 1.013 billion yuan, up 185.04% year-over-year, while adjusted net profit was 934 million yuan, surging 238.56% compared to the same period last year. The company attributed this performance to continuously rising demand for AI computing power.

Huayuan Securities indicated that domestic computing chip companies are entering a critical period for performance realization. The iteration of large AI models, large-scale construction of intelligent computing centers, and comprehensive penetration of edge intelligence scenarios continue to drive domestic AI computing demand. Overall, the industry demonstrates clear characteristics of tiered growth patterns, with leading companies maintaining stable profits while second-tier manufacturers accelerate loss reduction or even achieve profitability.

Can domestic AI computing chips sustain high growth? Has the industry reached a historic inflection point for commercialization? Industry experts believe that driven by both market demand and policy support, 2025-2026 represents a historic turning point for Chinese AI chip companies to achieve commercial viability, marking the industry's transition from heavy R&D investment to achieving scale profitability.
