 <li>Lenovo is strategically pivoting from a pure hardware manufacturer to a diversified solutions and services provider, capitalizing on the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. This transition is evidenced by the growing contribution of its non-PC businesses, which now account for a significant portion of revenue, and the strong growth in its AI-related segments.</li>
 <li>The company is well-positioned to benefit from the upcoming PC refresh cycle, driven by the integration of AI capabilities into new devices. As the world's largest PC vendor, Lenovo's scale, operational efficiency, and strong brand recognition provide a solid foundation for capturing this demand.</li>
 <li>While the core PC business provides scale and cash flow, the higher-margin Solutions and Services Group (SSG) and the AI-focused Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) are the key long-term growth engines. The successful turnaround and profitability of the ISG segment, fueled by demand for AI servers and infrastructure, is a significant positive catalyst.</li>

Cross Asset Strategy

<ul>
<li>
Offshore relative value: We tested 12-month relative returns across onshore vs. offshore, and both vs. EM. Offshore China is the oversold leg, driven by its own weakness rather than onshore strength. </li>
<li>
AI rotation: The performance gap reflects capital favoring the onshore industrial upgrades vs. offshore consumption. Re-rating requires offshore earnings pickup regardless of how cheap the multiple looks.</li>
