在干什么ADAS 与机器人 3D 激光雷达，自研 ASIC 与光学垂直整合。

Name sheetHesai Group

Why it mattersDrives the cost of 3D perception down into a scalable band. Without reliable sensing there is no deployment at all: this is the precondition for everything downstream. On 2026-05-19 Hesai was announced as strategic lidar partner and confirmed supplier for Mercedes-Benz L3-enabled models across Europe and China, supplied from the new Galileo manufacturing centre in Thailand, and the company has re-segmented into a LiDAR Business and Strategic Growth Initiatives, the latter oriented to physical AI. A Thai plant plus a European OEM design win is the first structural answer to the objection that a Chinese sensor supplier cannot win Western auto; Strategic Growth Initiatives is the first reporting home robotics has had here, and is where a disclosed robotics revenue line would appear.

为何重要将 3D 感知的成本压到可规模化区间。感知不可靠，部署便无从谈起，这是所有下游环节的前置条件。2026-05-19，奔驰正式将禾赛确定为其 L3 车型的战略激光雷达伙伴与定点供应商，覆盖欧洲与中国项目，由泰国新建的 Galileo 制造中心供货；公司已重新分部为“激光雷达业务”与面向物理 AI 的“战略增长业务（SGI）”。泰国工厂加上一个欧洲 OEM 定点，是对“中国传感器厂商拿不下西方汽车”这一质疑的第一个结构性回应；SGI 则使机器人业务首次拥有自己的报告口径，也是未来若披露机器人收入线时的落点。

Caveat

Best risk-adjusted return on the board at +19.35%, but the earnings behind it are not repeatable at that level. FY2025 revenue was RMB 3,027.6m (+45.8%) and net income RMB 435.9m; the largest single non-operating item is Q3 2025 other income of RMB 172.9m, which the company states came mainly from a gain on disposal of an equity investment in an early-stage technology company: 39.7% of full-year net income from one line.

Q1 2026 revenue was RMB 681m (+30%) with GAAP net income of only RMB 18m (non-GAAP RMB 48m), a fourth consecutive GAAP-profitable quarter; net margin fell from 14.4% in FY2025 to 2.6%. The recast this position required has in effect been performed by the company's own Q1 print: recurring earnings power looks like 2–3% of sales, not 14%.

Q2 2026 results are scheduled for 2026-08-18. Do not re-size the position before that print.

风险提示

全表最佳风险调整回报 +19.35%，但支撑它的利润在这一水平上不可重复。FY2025 收入 30.276 亿元（+45.8%），净利 4.359 亿元；最大的单笔非经营项目是 2025 年 Q3 的其他收入 1.729 亿元，公司称主要来自处置一家早期科技公司股权的收益，仅此一项即占全年净利的 39.7%。

2026 年 Q1 收入 6.81 亿元（+30%），GAAP 净利仅 1,800 万元（非 GAAP 4,800 万元），为连续第四个 GAAP 盈利季度；净利率由 FY2025 的 14.4% 降至 2.6%。这一仓位所要求的利润重构，实际上已由公司自己的 Q1 报表完成：经常性盈利能力约为收入的 2–3%，而非 14%。

2026 年 Q2 业绩定于 2026-08-18 公布，在该报表公布之前不应调整仓位。

COMPANY RESEARCH公司研究 Commercial evidence商业证据 Expand +展开 + Collapse −收起 −

Commercial evidence shows how far a company has moved from a product claim to repeatable customer value. We look for a defined customer task, paid deployment, operating results, the human help required, and economics that can support repeat use. Missing information stays unassessed; it does not count as evidence against the company.商业证据用于判断一家公司从产品宣称走到了可重复客户价值的哪一步。我们关注明确的客户任务、付费部署、运行结果、所需人工协助，以及能否支持重复采用的经济性。缺失信息保持未评估，不会被当作对公司的负面证据。 Each item below applies only to the cited document and period. It should be read with its evidence class, review date, and stated limits.以下每项内容仅适用于所引文件与期间，阅读时应同时考虑证据类别、核查日期与已说明的局限。
