We change our mind becauseof1)GLMmodelranking back to previous level(Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index[AAII]: #6at initial launchforboth5.1/5.2), 2)domestic chip compatibility forinferencingwhichpartlyresolves our concerns on chip shortage.The proposedA-share listingandpotential HK placement (Bloomberg, 24 June 2026)can alsoreduce cash flow Why not upgrade?The biggest catalysts are model launches (share price up 21%/11%/27%/33% on the next day aftertheofficiallaunch of GLM-5.0/5.1/5.1-highspeed/5.2).Also, Zhipu’s share price rallied 13% on 17 June after CSRC made remarks tosupport model companies in A-shareIPO, and rallied15% on 22 June after Zhipu co-founder commentedthatChinese models can catch up Fable 5’s level sooner than 1Q27during an interaction with Elon Musk onX.The next positivecatalyst is the launch ofGLM-5.5 (likely in August,based on average iteration pace of c2 months).Butwe remainconcerned on risks including:1) competition:Moonshot and DeepSeek raised fundsrecentlywith DeepSeek possiblylaunchingnew iteration in June(Sina news, 1 June andWSJ, 16 June), potentiallycatching up Zhipu.
