Group 1 - The company, Zhongmi Holdings (300470.SZ), stated that its products are not currently applied in underwater robotics [1] - The company's products have established applications in the marine oil and gas extraction and transportation sectors [1]

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of the robotics business is driving new growth opportunities for lidar technology, particularly in underwater scenarios, with significant innovations expected from Guangfeng Technology's upcoming underwater lidar product launch at the 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition [1][4]. Industry Summary - The application of lidar in the robotics sector has seen explosive growth, with major manufacturers reporting substantial increases in product sales. For instance, SUTENG's latest financial report indicates that its robot product sales reached 34,400 units in Q2 2025, a year-on-year increase of 631.9% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 189.1%. Similarly, Hesai Technology reported a delivery volume of 48,500 units in the robotics field, marking a year-on-year growth of 743.6% and projecting over 200,000 lidar shipments in 2025 [1][3]. Market Potential - The primary orders for lidar in the robotics field currently stem from lawn mowing robots, benefiting from the adaptation of automotive lidar technology. However, there is a notable growth in pool cleaning robots, with the global number of pools expected to rise from 28.88 million in 2021 to 36.92 million by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of approximately 5%. The demand for pool cleaning robots is projected to reach around 10.34 million units by 2026, with a penetration rate of 28% [3]. Technical Challenges - The underwater application of lidar faces several technical challenges, including significant attenuation of infrared lasers in water, with 905nm infrared light losing over 60% of its energy after traveling just 1 meter in clear water. Additionally, the effective measurement range is limited to under 5 meters due to the absorption and scattering of light in water, compounded by environmental light interference and water turbidity issues that complicate signal processing [3]. Company Innovation - Guangfeng Technology's upcoming underwater lidar product is highly anticipated to address these underwater perception challenges, providing more accurate and reliable sensing solutions for underwater robots like pool cleaning devices. This innovation is expected to unlock a billion-level incremental market space [4].

Core Viewpoint - Guangfeng Technology is set to launch its underwater LiDAR product at the 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) from September 10 to 12, marking its first radar product release [1] Company Developments - The underwater LiDAR product will primarily be applied in the underwater robotics sector [1] - The company will also unveil its latest micro AR optical machine, which is highly compatible with the newly launched PVG waveguide product from Gudong Intelligent [1] - The combination of these two products is expected to achieve significant breakthroughs in enhancing the overall performance and cost control of AR glasses [1]

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for the company [5][8]. Core Insights - The company achieved a record high revenue of approximately 3.95 billion yuan in Q2 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of about 7.68% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 11.04% [1]. - The company is actively advancing its humanoid robot core components, with significant growth in revenue from its refrigeration motors and fans, which reached approximately 6.60 billion yuan in H1 2025, a year-on-year increase of about 10.30% [2][4]. - The company is expanding its product applications in various sectors, including energy storage, data centers, modern agriculture, industrial automation, and humanoid robots [4]. Revenue and Profitability - In H1 2025, the company reported a total revenue of approximately 7.50 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 10.00%, and a net profit attributable to the parent company of approximately 1.72 billion yuan, up by about 11.32% [1]. - The gross margin for Q2 2025 was approximately 32.10%, showing a slight year-on-year decrease of 0.04 percentage points but an increase of 1.49 percentage points quarter-on-quarter [3]. Future Projections - The company is expected to benefit from downstream demand recovery and the expansion of new products and applications, with projected revenues of approximately 16.45 billion yuan, 19.12 billion yuan, and 22.25 billion yuan for 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, reflecting year-on-year growth rates of about 16.8%, 16.2%, and 16.4% [5][7]. - The net profit attributable to the parent company is projected to be approximately 3.52 billion yuan, 4.20 billion yuan, and 4.94 billion yuan for the same years, with year-on-year growth rates of about 59.4%, 19.4%, and 17.5% [5][7].
