In 2025, Chinese telecom giant ZTE reported a 10.4% revenue increase to 134 billion yuan, driven by a 150% surge in its computing business, which now accounts for nearly a quarter of total sales. The company's computing infrastructure buildout, including servers and data-center solutions, saw significant revenue jumps. However, ZTE's net profit attributable to shareholders fell by 33.3% to 5.62 billion yuan, with gross margins also declining. The company attributed the profit drop to a slowing telecom equipment market and business structure adjustments. ZTE, headquartered in Shenzhen, is focusing on its AI capabilities and computing infrastructure amid a broader industry shift.
