Report interpretation
Overview
Megmeet is a leading platform-based power electronics company in China, with businesses covering power supplies, industrial automation, new energy transportation, intelligent equipment, smart home appliances, and precision connectivity and magnetic components. The report believes that AI server and AI data center power supplies will become the core future growth drivers, while the diversified customer structure, pricing power, and cost control of traditional businesses will support revenue and margins. Nomura expects the company’s revenue in 2026 to 2028 to be CNY13,318mn, CNY17,428mn, and CNY22,405mn, respectively, and net profit attributable to shareholders to be CNY937mn, CNY1,616mn, and CNY2,644mn, respectively.
Core views
First, AI computing infrastructure construction is driving rapid expansion in demand for high-power power supplies; the company has broad product coverage and has entered the NVIDIA ecosystem, positioning it to benefit from the industry upcycle. Second, businesses such as smart home appliances, new energy transportation, and industrial automation diversify the risk of demand volatility from a single end market. Third, raw material price increases create short-term cost pressure, but customized products, a high-quality customer structure, cost pass-through, and internal cost reductions are expected to drive margin recovery. Fourth, net profit CAGR from 2025 to 2028 is expected to reach 57%, significantly above the peer average, therefore supporting a target valuation higher than peers.
Analysis framework
The report adopts a bottom-up segment-by-segment forecasting approach, focusing on assessing market demand, product validation, and capacity ramp-up pace for AI server and AI data center power supplies, while incorporating price increases in the smart home appliance business, raw material cost pass-through, product mix upgrades, internal cost reductions, capital expenditures, and R&D tax incentives to forecast revenue, margins, and EPS; for valuation, it uses 2027E P/E and conducts a horizontal comparison with comparable companies related to data center power supplies.
Methodology notes
Target P/E multiplied by forward EPS
Multiplying 2027E EPS of CNY2.76 by a 50x target P/E yields a target price of CNY138. The 50x valuation is higher than the comparable companies’ average 2027E P/E of about 29x; the premium is based on the company’s forecast net profit CAGR of 57% from 2025 to 2028, above the peer average of 32%.
Forecast operating performance separately based on business volume ramp-up, product mix, and cost pass-through
The forecasts for 2026 to 2028 revenue and margins incorporate the ramp-up of AI power supply shipments, upgrades of traditional industrial and commercial power supply products, price increases for smart home appliances, raw material substitution, and internal cost control.

Impact & implications
If AI power supply product validation, customer onboarding, and capacity ramp-up proceed as planned, the company’s revenue structure will shift markedly toward the high-growth, high-value power supply business, driving improvements in consolidated gross margin, net margin, and shareholder returns. Price increases and cost reductions in traditional businesses can further enhance the certainty of earnings recovery. The current valuation already reflects certain growth expectations, but the report believes faster earnings growth is sufficient to support a valuation premium relative to peers; conversely, delays in AI data center construction or slower-than-expected product commercialization would simultaneously weigh on earnings forecasts and valuation multiples.
Risks
- Product certification, commercialization, or capacity ramp-up for AI server and AI data center power supplies may be slower than expected, delaying earnings realization and suppressing valuation.
- Escalation of international trade frictions, tariffs, export controls, or sanctions may affect customer procurement, supply chains, and overseas revenue growth; overseas markets accounted for about 30% of the company’s revenue in 2025.
- Intensified competition in home appliances, new energy vehicles, and power supply markets may lead to greater annual price reduction pressure, lower ASPs, and longer accounts receivable cycles.
- Prices of raw materials such as copper and power semiconductors may continue to rise, while price increases, alternative materials, or internal cost reductions may fail to fully offset cost pressure.
- Rapid evolution of AI power supply technology may affect the lifecycle, demand pace, and medium- to long-term gross margins of high-value products.
What to watch
- Whether power supply product revenue and gross margin in 1H26 exceed expectations.
- Whether key overseas customers raise guidance for 2027 shipment volumes.
- Validation progress, commercial orders, and new capacity ramp-up for AI server and AI data center power supply products.
- Whether the power supply business’s revenue contribution and gross margin can continue to improve as forecast.
- Implementation of price increases, raw material substitution, and internal cost reductions in the smart home appliance business.
- Whether global AI data center construction plans experience further delays.
- Changes in international tariffs, export controls, and the geopolitical environment.
