ZTE's stock price surged 5.06% during intraday trading on Monday, reflecting strong investor interest ahead of a significant product announcement.
The company is set to debut what it calls the "global first AI agent smartphone" at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) scheduled for July 17-20. This product represents the second-generation Nubia-branded AI phone with an expected retail price exceeding RMB 4,000. According to ZTE's Terminal Business Division President Ni Fei, the next phase of AI smartphones will transition from feature stacking to native intelligent agents, addressing user pain points in task completion across multiple apps.
Institutional confidence appears to be building ahead of this catalyst. Morgan Stanley has indicated that ZTE is approaching a key inflection point, while UBS recently increased its holdings in the company, raising its stake to 8.03%.
