China mobile (600941.SH) took the lead with a net profit of 76.173 billion yuan. the other two major communication operators China telecom (601728.SH), China Unicom (600050.SH) and ZTE realized net profits of 20.115 billion yuan, 5.444 billion yuan and 5.472 billion yuan respectively, net profit in the first half of the year exceeded 1 billion yuan.

"Some people are happy and some are sad", and eight computing concept companies are losing money. Among them, there are many hot stocks that took off on AI Dongfeng's share price in the first half of the year, such as Hongbo, Haitian Ruisheng (688787.SH) and Cambrian (688256.SH). The three companies lost 31.6789 million yuan, 17.2414 million yuan and 0.545 billion yuan respectively in the first half of the year. As of September 1 this year, the share prices of the three companies have risen 439.77 per cent, 91.24 per cent and 172.78 per cent respectively, ranking at the forefront of the gains in a number of computing stocks, and Hongbo shares have become a major computing bull this year.

If you look at the growth rate, the performance of 25 companies in the first half of the year has a positive year-on-year growth, and 17 companies have a negative year-on-year growth. The biggest increase in performance was Hangyu Micro (300053.SZ), up 206.38 year-on-year to 51.3129 million yuan. Hongxin Electronics (300657.SH), which has been losing money for two years, fell 332.31 percent year-on-year, with a net profit of -0.181 billion yuan in the first half.

In addition, the computing business of many companies is still in the early stage of investment and development, and its contribution to the overall revenue has not yet appeared.

zhongbei communication (603220.SH) said publicly that the computing power business has not yet generated income; Hongbo shares, which have been the most popular, also said that so far the company's computing power rental business accounts for a small proportion of the operating income of listed companies.

ZTE is the "first brother" of R & D expenses

The computing industry chain involves many links, and computing companies need a lot of money to develop products and build their own barriers, and research and development costs have become a major concern to measure the technology investment of computing companies.

in terms of total research and development costs, ZTE ranked first, followed by the three major communication operators and Ziguang shares, wave information (000977.SZ), Ruijie network (301165.SZ), etc., with research and development costs above 1 billion yuan. ZTE "defeated" the three major operators, with research and development costs as high as 12.792 billion yuan in the first half of the year, followed by China Mobile in 8.515 billion yuan.

if we look at the growth rate of research and development expenses, the first half of the year-on-year growth of research and development expenses of the top three are Hongbo shares, Ziguang Guowei and Longxin Zhongke (688047.SH), respectively, 119.25, 75.62, 57.64, the corresponding research and development costs of 12.2395 million yuan, 0.673 billion yuan, 0.197 billion yuan. However, the overall research and development costs of Hongbo shares are not high among peers, ranking third from the bottom among a group of computing power concept stocks.
