Lenovo Group sustained its growth momentum, supported by strong intelligent-device sales as it bets on AI-empowered PCs to fuel the next wave of demand for personal computers.

Net profit for the three months ended September rose 44% from a year earlier to $359 million, the world's largest PC maker said Friday, marginally beating the estimate of $355 million, according to a FactSet poll of analysts.

Revenue reached $17.85 billion, up 24%, driven by higher contributions from investments in AI as well as growth in personal computers and smartphones.

Lenovo has unveiled several AI-enabled PC models in recent months and has bet on the emerging tech to lead the global market to a long-term recovery and help its intelligent-devices segment, which includes PCs, smartphones and tablets, deliver better-than-industry growth and sustainable profitability.
