At the Lenovo Group 2026 Investor Day held on June 25th, the company's CFO, Zheng Xiaoming, told investors that despite the share price having doubled over the past six weeks, the company still holds significant untapped value. He expressed confidence that Lenovo Group's valuation has substantial room for upward movement, thanks to its diverse and leading product portfolio and its prominent position within the AI industry.
He emphasized that the market currently values Lenovo Group at levels similar to its PC industry peers. However, the company's business structure has expanded significantly, evolving from the world's largest PC manufacturer into a global technology company encompassing AI devices, AI infrastructure, and AI services and solutions.
Consequently, the valuation of Lenovo Group should no longer be confined to the PC peer framework. Instead, it warrants a repricing based on its multi-business portfolio. The corresponding total valuation pool is estimated at approximately $223 billion, or about 1.51 trillion yuan. This figure represents roughly 5.7 times the company's current market capitalization benchmark, indicating that significant potential for valuation re-rating remains.
It is noteworthy that over the past two years, Lenovo Group has achieved a compound annual growth rate in revenue of about 21%, while its diluted earnings per share have grown at a compound annual rate of approximately 31%. This profit growth outpacing revenue growth suggests the company's future focus extends beyond merely expanding revenue scale to include continuously improving profit margins and earnings per share performance.
Currently, Lenovo Group maintains a long-standing number one position in the global PC market and also leads in Windows AI PCs globally. The AI device segment is moving towards an ecosystem centered on intelligent agents. Simultaneously, the company's server business is emerging as a new growth engine. Demand for AI servers, enterprise infrastructure investments, liquid-cooled servers, and high-end storage are driving improvements in both the revenue scale and profitability of this business.
Following the release of its latest financial report, the market has been re-evaluating this global leader in the AI ecosystem chain, with several investment banks raising their target prices for Lenovo Group. Recently, Bank of America Securities noted that, benefiting from growing demand for CPU servers and storage, along with an increasing proportion of AI servers, Lenovo's profit recovery appears more sustainable than in previous cycles. Haitong International assigned an "Outperform" rating, stating that by aligning with AI industry trends and leveraging synergistic growth across its three major business groups, the company's overall revenue and profits are expected to maintain rapid growth.
