Lenovo Group: Second Quarter Financial Results 2025/26

Lenovo delivers record quarterly results, marking significant progress in hybrid AI

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lenovo Group Limited (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), together with its subsidiaries (‘the Group’), today reported record results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025/26, with overall group revenue reaching an all-time high of US$20.5 billion, up 15% year-on-year. Adjusted net income[1] grew 25% year-on-year to US$512 million, and adjusted net income margin expanded to 2.5%, driven by higher revenues. Together, these reflect the strength of the Group’s operational performance as they exclude the impact of non-cash fair value loss on warrants, notional interest on convertible bonds, and other non-cash items.

The Group delivered double-digit year-on-year revenue growth across all main business groups and sales geographies. The AI-related revenue mix increased by 13 percentage points year-on-year, accounting for 30% of the Group’s total revenue this quarter. The growth was driven by high-double-digit revenue growth in AI Servers and triple-digit revenue growth in AI PCs, AI smartphones, and AI Services.

These results are a testament to the Group’s clear strategy, operational excellence, and relentless innovation, reflecting not only the strength of its business today but also the resilience of its unique ‘Global/Local’ model and the vision of a company built to lead in the AI era. With the initial wave of infrastructure build-out in the AI era, the trend is evolving toward a more human- and enterprise-centric phase, as large language models become commoditized and user priorities shift toward personalization and private domain. This evolution is unlocking new opportunities across devices, hybrid infrastructure, and tailored solutions, and enabling the Group to expand its leadership in Personal AI and further deliver its value proposition in Enterprise AI.

As the macroeconomic environment stabilizes, Lenovo remains committed to executing its Hybrid AI strategy and investing in innovation to deliver sustainable long-term returns to shareholders and make AI truly personalized.

Lenovo’s Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of 8.50 HK cents per share.

Chairman and CEO quote – Yuanqing Yang:

“Capitalizing on the AI democratization trend, and thanks to our clear strategy, operational excellence and relentless innovation, Lenovo delivered another quarter of record performance, while making important progress in both Personal AI and Enterprise AI. We will continue to leverage our unique Global/Local model to navigate uncertainties and capture the tremendous Hybrid AI opportunities, and in doing so not only deliver sustainable long-term returns to our shareholders, but also make AI truly personalized for every individual and every enterprise.”
