Legend Holdings Reports H1 Net Profit of RMB 2.23 Billion, Up 219% YoY
Nashnova编辑部
Legend Holdings posted first-half net profit of RMB 2.23 billion, up 219% year-on-year, driven by record performances across Lenovo Group's three business lines — AI-related revenue now accounts for 36% of total sales, but whether the massive order backlog converts in H2 remains the key test.
What are the headline numbers?
H1 revenue hit RMB 362.9 billion, up 28.89% YoY; net profit attributable to equity holders reached RMB 2.23 billion, up 219%.
This means → profit grew far faster than revenue, signaling improving margins, not just higher volumes.
The industrial operations segment contributed RMB 360.8 billion — over 99% of total revenue and the absolute backbone of the result.
What drove the growth?
Two engines: Lenovo Group captured the hybrid-AI wave, with all three business lines delivering double-digit revenue growth; Lianho New Materials (联泓新科) ramped up several major projects, boosting revenue rapidly.
In plain terms = one engine sells AI-powered computers and servers, the other ships new-materials products from freshly opened factories — both fired at once.
AI-related revenue jumped 64% YoY and now represents 36% of Lenovo Group's total. This reflects a shift from AI-as-narrative to AI-as-revenue.
Can the PC business still compete?
Lenovo has widened its lead over the No. 2 player for ten consecutive quarters; its latest global PC market share stands at 24.2%.
Its AI PC — a personal computer with a built-in AI chip that runs AI tasks locally — share is even higher at 25.1%.
This means → in a market where overall PC growth has slowed, Lenovo is extending its lead through the AI PC category.
How did servers and services perform?
Infrastructure Solutions revenue surged 62% YoY; AI server order backlog reached US$54 billion by the end of Q2, and operating margin improved to 6.9%.
Solutions & Services revenue rose 19% YoY with an operating margin of 23.3% — a record high; AI services revenue alone grew at a triple-digit rate.
In plain terms = hardware is selling well, but the services arm is even more profitable — for every $100 earned, more than $23 drops to the bottom line.
What should investors watch in H2?
The US$54 billion AI server backlog is enormous, but orders ≠ revenue — whether they convert into actual deliveries in H2 is the real test of this result's quality.
Smartphone revenue also hit a record high, but it remains a small share of the total — more icing than cake for now.
This reflects one dominant question for the market in H2: how fast can Lenovo turn its AI orders into shipped revenue?
