SIASUN(SZ:300024) Zhi Tong Cai Jing·2025-09-30 02:43Core Viewpoint - The company, XAG, has submitted its IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking its second attempt after withdrawing its application in 2021. The company has shown significant financial improvement, achieving profitability in 2024 after a period of losses [1][10]. Financial Performance - XAG's revenue increased from 6 billion RMB in 2022 to 10.66 billion RMB in 2024, while net losses narrowed from 2.5 billion RMB to 1.3 billion RMB during the same period. In 2024, the company reported a net profit of 7041 million RMB, a significant turnaround from previous losses [2][3]. - The company's cash flow showed a V-shaped recovery, with net cash inflow from operating activities of 1.9 billion RMB in 2024, compared to a net outflow of 2.4 billion RMB in 2022 [4]. Market Position - XAG ranks second in the global agricultural drone market, holding a 17.1% market share, while the industry leader DJI commands over 50% of the market. The company focuses on high-end markets and aims to differentiate itself through comprehensive automation solutions [7][8]. Growth Potential - The global agricultural robotics market is projected to grow from 8.9 billion RMB in 2024 to 74.9 billion RMB by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 53.3%. The Chinese market is expected to reach 20 billion RMB, driven by labor shortages and increased demand for precision agriculture [7]. Strategic Challenges - XAG faces significant competition from DJI, which has established a strong distribution network in rural China. The company is focusing on overseas markets to mitigate domestic competition, with international revenue increasing from 1.5 billion RMB in 2022 to 3.7 billion RMB in 2024 [8][9]. - The company’s revenue is heavily reliant on its agricultural drone business, which accounted for 87.8% of total revenue in 2024. This concentration poses risks, as new business lines are still in the early stages of commercialization [6]. Investment and R&D - XAG has undergone multiple rounds of financing, with significant investments from notable firms. The company allocates over 20% of its revenue to R&D, focusing on core technologies such as sensors and AI algorithms [9][10]. - The IPO is seen as a crucial step for the company to overcome funding challenges and expand its production capacity and overseas market presence [9].
