On July 16, ZTE Corporation rose 4.4% in regular trading, trading at 26.68 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 346 million, extending the previous session's gains.

On the news front, ZTE's subsidiary ZTE Kangxun Telecom has secured US approval to purchase Nvidia H200 AI chips, while Kingsoft's subsidiary was approved to procure AMD chips. This development signals a potential easing of supply chain constraints on ZTE's AI computing power business, constituting a direct positive for the company's computing infrastructure and AI strategy advancement. Additionally, ZTE's global debut of its first AI agent smartphone at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference opening on July 17 has further boosted market sentiment, with multiple catalysts converging to drive the stock higher.

Notably, the stock had dropped over 5% on July 14 amid elevated short-selling pressure with a short ratio of 16.63%, before the chip approval news reversed sentiment. Institutional support remains evident, with UBS recently increasing its H-share stake to 8.03% and Morgan Stanley expressing optimism about a key inflection point for the company.
