Hong-Kong-listed HQVT (Shenzhen HQVT Technology Co., Ltd.) released its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, highlighting strong top-line momentum driven by surging Multispectral AI Large Model Services, offset by sharply higher investment in research and listing expenses.
