ZTE ( (HK:0763) ) has shared an update.

ZTE Corporation reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 results showing modest top-line growth but a sharp drop in profitability. Operating revenue rose 6.1% year on year to RMB 34.99 billion, while total assets and equity attributable to shareholders also increased slightly, reflecting continued expansion of the group’s balance sheet.

Net profit attributable to shareholders fell 46.6% to RMB 1.31 billion and net profit after extraordinary items declined more than 52%, with basic and diluted earnings per share halving to RMB 0.27. Operating cash flow swung from an inflow of RMB 1.85 billion a year earlier to a RMB 1.98 billion outflow, pressuring liquidity and weighing on return on equity, which dropped to 1.72%, signaling margin and cash-generation challenges despite revenue growth.
