On July 16, Estun Automation rose 6.16% in regular trading, trading at HKD 22.8/share, with turnover of HKD 183 million. The rally extends multi-day momentum driven by a strong H1 earnings preview and ongoing M&A catalysts.

On the news front, the company previously disclosed its H1 performance forecast, projecting attributable net profit of RMB 150 million to RMB 180 million, representing year-over-year growth of 2,144.74% to 2,593.68%, compared with only RMB 6.7 million in the prior-year period. The significant improvement is attributed to product mix optimization focusing on high value-added products, a notable increase in gross margin, lower expense ratios through cost controls, and non-recurring gains from the completion of asset restructuring at associate Nanjing Gongyi.

Additionally, the company is planning an all-cash acquisition of 100% equity in Estun Codroid, an embodied intelligence robotics firm, through a wholly-owned subsidiary. The transaction remains in the planning stage, providing a sustained catalyst for investor sentiment in the robotics sector.
