AI Is No Longer Enough to Lift Big Tech Stocks

China’s major internet companies are all pushing AI, but the latest earnings season showed that AI alone is no longer enough to re-rate their shares. Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Kuaishou and NetEase fell after reporting, while Xiaomi stood out as one of the few exceptions. The piece argues that the market is now asking a harder question: not whether these companies have AI, but what AI is actually changing in their businesses. Tencent is using AI on top of a powerful cash machine, with gaming and advertising still generating strong revenue and capital spending rising to 52.8 billion yuan in the second quarter. Alibaba is trying to rebuild part of its empire around AI, while also lifting quarterly capital spending to 67.7 billion yuan. Baidu has a growing AI business, but declining online marketing revenue keeps the old business under pressure. Kuaishou’s Kling AI brought in more than 850 million yuan in the second quarter, up more than 200%, yet that was not enough to offset slow group growth. Xiaomi is treating AI as a layer across phones, cars, home devices and robots, not as a standalone revenue line. NetEase is using AI in game development, but its core growth still comes from games.

Xiaomi Defends Phone Margins, but Still Needs a New Profit Engine

Xiaomi held its smartphone gross margin at 8.5% in the second quarter, even as rising memory costs pushed the company to lift average selling prices by nearly 300 yuan. That helped protect profitability, but global smartphone shipments fell 26.5% year over year. The company’s electric vehicle business delivered more than 104,000 cars and generated 23.9 billion yuan in revenue, yet the automotive and AI division still posted losses. Internet services remained the main profit anchor, with gross margin at 76.8% and revenue of 9 billion yuan. Management also used the earnings call to discuss MiMo, system upgrades, and humanoid robots, but those businesses are still early. The key issue for Xiaomi now is timing: its growth engines are moving on different schedules, and the next one has not fully taken over from the old one.

Xiaomi reports RMB 108.9 billion in Q2 revenue as premium phones lift ASP, while EV and AI unit stays in the red

Xiaomi posted 2026 second-quarter revenue of about RMB 108.9 billion, down 6.1% from a year earlier, while adjusted net profit fell 42.6% to roughly RMB 6.2 billion. The company’s core "smartphone x AIoT" segment generated RMB 84 billion with a 20% gross margin, and smartphone average selling price rose 25.9% year over year to RMB 1,351 as Xiaomi pushed further upmarket. Management said the premium push helped offset weaker handset shipments. According to Omdia data cited in the report, Xiaomi shipped 31.2 million smartphones globally in the quarter, ranking No. 3 worldwide for the 24th straight quarter. In mainland China, phones priced at RMB 3,000 and above accounted for 32.1% of Xiaomi’s total smartphone sales, a record high. New businesses kept expanding but remained loss-making. Xiaomi’s smart EV and AI segment reported revenue of RMB 24.9 billion, including RMB 23.9 billion from electric vehicles and about RMB 1 billion from AI-related emerging businesses. The segment posted an operating loss of RMB 2.6 billion in the quarter. Xiaomi CFO Alain Lam said AI is still in a heavy investment phase, and monetization is not the company’s main goal for now. The company also outlined a broad slate of product and technology updates, including HyperOS 4 Beta, Super XiaoAI 2.0, Xiaomi MiMo AI releases, and progress in robotics and self-developed chips.

Xiaomi raises prices across nine phone models as shipments decline and memory costs climb

Xiaomi has raised prices on nine smartphones across the Xiaomi 17, REDMI K90 and Turbo 5 lineups, marking its third round of price increases this year. The latest move, rolled out on Aug. 2 through Xiaomi Mall, pushed flagship Xiaomi 17 models up by 400 yuan to 500 yuan, while REDMI devices in two product lines were lifted by 300 yuan. The top-end Xiaomi 17 Pro Max now starts at 6,499 yuan, up from 5,999 yuan. The pricing changes come as Xiaomi faces weaker shipment numbers. IDC said global smartphone shipments fell 6.7% year over year to 277.5 million units in the second quarter of 2026. Xiaomi shipped 31.2 million units for an 11.2% share, ranking third globally, but its shipments dropped 26.3% from a year earlier, the steepest decline among the top five vendors. Omdia reported that Xiaomi shipped 8.2 million units in mainland China in the same quarter, down 21% year over year, leaving it fifth in the market. The report ties the latest price increases to rising memory costs. Xiaomi President Lu Weibing previously said prices for the same memory configuration had surged nearly fourfold from the first quarter of 2025, while IDC estimated consumer memory costs were up nearly 300% year over year.

Changxin Technology IPO surge lifts Zhu Yiming to RMB 86.9 billion as investors and staff post huge paper gains

Changxin Technology’s market debut triggered a broad paper-wealth windfall across founders, executives, employees and outside investors. According to figures cited in the source report, founder Zhu Yiming’s family fortune climbed nearly 300% to $13.9 billion based on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with his peak net worth estimated at RMB 86.9 billion when combining his Changxin stake and GigaDevice holdings. Seven executives moved into the “RMB 1 billion net worth” bracket, while more than 6,700 employee-shareholding participants benefited and at least 237 became paper millionaires in yuan terms. The gains extended far beyond company insiders. Statistics cited in the report said 93 public fund managers were allocated a combined 1.234 billion shares, generating nearly RMB 50 billion in static floating profit. Liang Wenfeng-controlled funds, including Ningbo High-Flyer Quant and Zhejiang Jiuzhang Asset, took part through 194 products and posted about RMB 827 million in paper gains. The report also detailed gains tied to Kong Jianping, NIO and Xiaomi, while a separate “Huang Xiaoming” investor — confirmed not to be the actor of the same name — was said to have booked more than RMB 500 million in floating profit. Xiaomi later said the investment was made at the corporate level and should not be equated with personal wealth.
