It holds leading market positions in multiple smart product categories, including smartphones, tablets, smart wearables, and personal computers, serving major global brand clients and acting as a core force driving industry innovation and global expansion.

After over two decades of development, the company has formed its unique "3+N+3" global smart product platform strategy, building a technology hardware ecosystem covering all scenarios, categories, and technologies.

The three pillar businesses are smartphones, laptops, and servers. These form the company's most stable current business foundation. In smartphones, leveraging deep ODM R&D and manufacturing capabilities, the company continues to deepen cooperation with leading global brand clients, maintaining the top market share with continuous growth in shipments and revenue. In laptops, utilizing its core ODM competitiveness, shipment volumes and revenue have shown sustained high growth, with rapid global market share expansion. AIPC products have already entered mass production, creating a "1+N" smart ecosystem centered on laptops. For servers, having strategically positioned itself since 2017, the company has built a full-stack product matrix including AI servers, general-purpose servers, storage servers, switches, and hyper-nodes. It has deep partnerships with leading domestic CSP clients, with AI servers contributing over 70% of revenue in this segment. Switch business revenue saw multiple-fold growth, with annual revenue exceeding RMB 2.5 billion.

As one of the ODM manufacturers with the broadest pan-category layout, HUAQIN's AIoT business achieved a 68.77% revenue growth rate, with continued scaled deliveries of diverse products like smart home devices, gaming, and XR products.

The final "3" refers to three emerging businesses for future growth: robotics, automotive electronics, and software. In automotive electronics, the company has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs in cockpit, intelligent driving, body domain, and powertrain domain products. Full-year 2025 revenue exceeded RMB 1 billion, with revenue expected to double to over RMB 2 billion in 2026. The company is cooperating with traditional OEMs and leading new automakers and actively expanding overseas markets. For robotics, formally entered in 2025, the company established an independent robotics subsidiary with a dedicated R&D team. It completed the development and mass production delivery of data collection robots. Its self-developed bipedal humanoid robot completed debugging in December 2025, and nearly one million units of home cleaning robots were shipped for the year. The software business provides cross-system customized solutions, building a comprehensive ecosystem for consumer electronics, automotive, and smart industrial applications.

Data center business has been a core engine for performance growth. In 2025, this segment generated revenue of over RMB 40 billion, nearly doubling year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive year of multiple-fold growth. The company has formed a full-stack product portfolio including AI servers, general-purpose servers, switches, and storage servers.
