<ul>
<li>RoboTechnik's fundamentals are currently in a stage of "strong story but weak profits". The SiPh equipment sector has sufficient market appeal, but the profit scale is still small</li>
<li>Based on 26H1 explosive growth of optoelectronics business, significant jump in profitability in 26Q2, and the 2.452bn yuan in-hand orders for optoelectronics, the forecast needs to be systematically revised upwards</li>
<li>Considering the growth potential of RoboTechnik (with a projected CAGR of 100+% in net profits from 2026 to 2028), 35-45x P/E based on 2027 forecast could be a comfortable range</li>
