Kingdee International Software (0268.HK) 1H26 Guidance Beat CITI’S TAKEKingdee issued a positive profit alert for 1H26, signaling a significant turnaround from loss to profit. Total revenue is expected to increase by13–14% to RMB 3.61–3.64bn, largely in line with market consensus fromVisible Alpha (VA). Profit attributable to owners is projected to be RMB40–60mn (vs. loss of RMB 98mn in 1H25). Adjusted profit is expected atRMB 105–125mn (vs. loss of RMB 51mn), beating VA consensus by 34.8–60.5%. This positive shift is largely driven by a robust increase insubscription revenue and AI-native product growth, demonstrating thesuccess of its “AI-first, Subscription-first, Globalization” strategy andimproved operational efficiency. Net cash inflow from operating activitiesalso reversed to RMB 130–150mn from an outflow of RMB 18mn. ReiterateBuy.

Lingee as the Growth Engine.At the May launch event, management reaffirmed itsRMB 14bn revenue target by 2030, with the mix structurally upgraded to 50% AIOS(Lingee) and 50% AI+SaaS. Commercially, the overall AI suite carries a revenue targetof RMB 1bn for full-year 2026, with Lingee operating as an incremental revenue lineon top of the original budget, charged via AI credits/tokens consumed by enterpriseclients. Watching the Revenue Ramp.While the 1H profit alert is encouraging, Lingee’spricing was only guided to be released at end-May 2026. We will watch closely forconcrete revenue contributions from Lingee in 2H26 as the key catalyst for further re-rating. Key risks that remain include intensifying competition, potential IT spendingslowdown in China, rising R&D costs, and displacement risk from AI LLMs. Kingdee International Software Valuation Our target price for Kingdee of HK$13.7 is based on a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation, in which we apply 10x FY26E PE to itstraditional software division, in-line with the average PE of the China software sector, and 7.1x FY26E P/S to its cloud SaaSoperation, which is 10-Year mean. We use 10-year average as a reference for AI-ification given it covered the introductory andgrowth stage of cloudification cycle in 2015-20. The company is positioned to capture the acceleration of enterprises AImonetization. We value the software division on a PE multiple owing to its high earnings visibility and the cloud SaaS operationon PS owing to its robust growth and loss-making status. Risks Key downside risks that could prevent the shares from achieving our target price include: 1) intensifying competition amongenterprise cloud service players; 2) postponed IT spending amid an economic slowdown in China; 3) rising staff and R&D costs;4) displacement from AI LLM.
