Lenovo's Revenue Surges 24% in Q2, Driven by AI and Premium PC Sales
Lenovo reports a 24% increase in Q2 revenue, driven by strong sales in AI-capable PCs and premium models, surpassing market expectations.
Lenovo Group Ltd, the Chinese technology giant, has reported a significant 24% increase in its fiscal second-quarter revenue, reaching $17.9 billion. This impressive growth, which exceeded analysts' expectations of $16.0 billion, was largely driven by the company's strategic focus on premium personal computers and AI-capable devices. The global personal computer industry, showing signs of recovery, has seen Lenovo's global PC shipments rise by 3% to 16.5 million units, maintaining a dominant 24% market share.
The demand for AI-capable computers has emerged as a crucial growth driver, with Lenovo unveiling two AI-powered PC models earlier this year. The company anticipates that AI PCs will constitute 10% of its shipments by the end of 2024, potentially rising to 60% by 2026. This strategic positioning is further bolstered by Lenovo's expansion in its AI server and software businesses, with its Infrastructure Solutions Group experiencing a revenue increase of over 60% year-on-year, driven by strong demand for AI workload servers in data centers.
Additionally, Lenovo's Solutions and Services Group, which offers cloud-based software solutions for enterprise clients, reported a revenue increase to $2.2 billion from $1.9 billion the previous year. The company's net profit for the quarter reached $359 million, surpassing the anticipated $331.7 million. This robust performance underscores Lenovo's successful adaptation to the evolving demands of the technology market, particularly in AI and premium computing solutions.
