This quarter, the smart computing-related business continued to expand rapidly, becoming an important engine for the company’s revenue and profit growth. Meanwhile, the public cloud business structure has been continuously optimized, boosting overall gross margin levels. Industry insiders generally believe that after years of cost structure adjustments and business focus, Kingsoft Cloud is entering a new cycle of healthy growth.

 

 

Strengthened Ecosystem Synergy, Xiaomi-Kingsoft Collaboration Expands

Of particular note is that Xiaomi's ecosystem continues to be one of Kingsoft Cloud’s most stable sources of growth. The revenue from the Xiaomi-Kingsoft ecosystem increased significantly this quarter, further expanding its share. This not only strengthens the company’s base but also lays the foundation for its future AI ecosystem strategy.

Kingsoft Cloud mentioned in the earnings report that the collaboration between Xiaomi and Kingsoft Cloud is transitioning from traditional cloud resource procurement to a deeper level of collaboration in smart cloud and AI computing power platforms, which suggests that the business potential ceiling is being raised. In multiple areas including smart devices, IoT, and AI model training, Xiaomi’s powerful terminal and ecosystem are forming tighter links with Kingsoft Cloud’s computing power capabilities, providing sustained momentum for revenue growth in the coming quarters.

 

Moving Towards Key AI Computing Milestones, Profit Sustainability Becomes a Key Focus

Following the earnings release, the market widely believes that Kingsoft Cloud has completed a key transition from “scale growth” to “quality improvement,” with AI computing cloud services expected to be the core focus for the next two to three quarters. However, profitability has just turned positive, and the scale remains relatively limited, so future stability will depend on the efficiency of computing power resource investment, the competitive landscape of public cloud services, and the deepening of ecosystem strategic collaborations.

Overall, the profitability breakthrough this quarter not only has stage significance but also provides the underlying momentum for the company to reshape market expectations. In the context of accelerating industry AI adoption and cloud service restructuring, Kingsoft Cloud has entered a higher-certainty phase of growth.
