Key Takeaways:
SenseTime-W (00020.HK) reported fiscal 2025 revenue of 5.01 billion RMB, a 33% increase that surpassed market expectations by 3% on March 26. The results were driven primarily by the company's generative AI segment, which continues to gain traction among enterprise clients.
"The generative AI business showed strong performance," CMB International analysts said in a research note maintaining their "Buy" rating. The firm cited the company's successful pivot toward high-margin large language models as a primary driver for the valuation upgrade.
The investment bank raised its fiscal 2026 and 2027 revenue forecasts by 3% to 6%, lifting the target price from HK$2.45 to HK$2.5. Total revenue for 2026 is now expected to reach 6.39 billion RMB, supported by a projected 35% surge in generative AI income as the company scales its proprietary SenseNova models.
The new target price reflects a 12x price-to-sales ratio for the current fiscal year. Shares of the Hong Kong-listed AI pioneer are gaining traction as the company transitions from traditional computer vision toward generative intelligence.
The upward revision signals growing confidence in SenseTime's ability to monetize its large language models. Investors will monitor the next quarterly update for signs of sustained margin expansion in the AI segment.
