Shoucheng Launches Robotics Advanced Materials Co. to Boost Value Chain

PRNewswire Monday 1 September 2025

HONG KONG, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 31, 2025, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) announced its 2025 interim results, reporting total revenue of HK$731 million, up 36% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached HK$339 million, representing a 30% increase. Operating income was HK$511 million, up 26%, while asset finance income surged 69% to HK$220 million.

The company continued its high dividend tradition, declaring a total payout of HK$1.159 billion for FY2025, with a dividend yield of nearly 8%, alongside repurchasing more than 40 million shares—underscoring management's strong confidence in long-term value. Financially, Shoucheng holds more than HK$8 billion in cash, has fully repaid all bank loans, maintains a gearing ratio of just 7.9%, and has been awarded the highest AAA rating by domestic credit agencies for three consecutive years, reflecting its robust financial position.

On the business front, Shoucheng's robotics strategy is accelerating. The company has invested in leading firms including Unitree, Galbot, Galaxea-AI, Noetix Robotics, and Booster Robotics, and is advancing large-scale deployment of robotics across diverse scenarios such as IAT Automobile Technology's production lines, the Chengdu ICD autonomous charging station, and Peking University Shougang Hospital for surgical applications. In August, portfolio companies under Shoucheng's robotics ecosystem won 37 medals at the World Humanoid Robot Games. Meanwhile, the "Shoucheng Robotics Experience Store" set up outside Beijing's National Speed Skating Oval, achieved daily sales exceeding RMB 30,000, reflecting strong public enthusiasm for robotics adoption.

Notably, on the same day as its earnings release, Shoucheng announced the establishment of Shoucheng Robotics Advanced Materials Industrial Co., Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary Shouwo Investment. The new company will focus on upstream key materials such as electronic skin, tendon cables, and lightweight PEEK composites, addressing critical gaps in the robotics value chain. This move marks Shoucheng's extension upstream beyond "investment + application", building a comprehensive full-chain ecosystem from materials to systems to applications.

Industry observers note that with the launch of the new materials company, Shoucheng has effectively completed its robotics value chain loop—from capital investment to scenario deployment and now upstream materials. Against the backdrop of accelerating commercialization of humanoid robots globally, the company is well positioned for significant long-term growth potential.
