On September 25, SANHUA declined 3.17% in regular trading, trading at HKD 23.84, with turnover of approximately HKD 4.81 million. The stock gave back gains from the prior session, when it had risen over 3% on news that Tesla's Optimus robot team was conducting factory audits at key suppliers in the Yangtze River Delta.

The pullback was driven by growing market skepticism over the near-term earnings impact of the humanoid robot business. A Citi report noted that Optimus contributes only about 3% to SANHUA's net profit exposure, based on an assumption of 100,000 units produced, suggesting limited short-term earnings uplift. Citi maintained its Neutral rating with a target price of HKD 29. Meanwhile, CICC retained its Outperform rating but cut earnings forecasts for fiscal years ending in the next two periods by 8.7% and 4.0%, respectively.

Fundamentally, the company reported H1 revenue of RMB 16.9 billion, up 3.9% year-over-year, while attributable net profit fell 3.1% to RMB 2.044 billion. Operating cash flow dropped 50.2%. The broader Industrial Machinery sector also traded lower, with peers such as UBTECH ROBOTICS down 3.9% and HANS CNC down 3.75%, adding to the headwinds.
