Kingsoft Office announced on April 13 its preliminary earnings forecast for the first quarter of 2026, projecting net profit to surge by 401.89% to 472.81% compared to the same period last year.
The company expects to report net profit attributable to shareholders between ¥2.022 billion and ¥2.307 billion. Revenue is also forecast to climb, with an expected range of ¥1.565 billion to ¥1.662 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 20.24% to 27.68%.
The dramatic rise in profitability is not linked to core business operations but is instead a result of significant gains from the company's investment portfolio. This outsized contribution from investments is the primary driver behind the profit growth far exceeding the solid revenue increase from its core software business.
The guidance suggests that while the company's "AI, Collaboration, and Internationalization" strategy is driving top-line growth, non-operational gains are currently having a larger impact on the bottom line. Investors will be watching for the full detailed report to assess the sustainability of these profit levels and the performance of the core business.
