Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>
New Business: Sharpa’s role in the Nvidia Isaac GR00T reference platform positions it as an early dexterous-hand leader in this setup, with Hesai supplying actuator assembly through cofounder-linked Sharpa channel.</li>
<li>The original LiDAR volume thesis remains on track. Hesai’s pre-1Q26 case relied on ADAS, robotaxi, robovan, lawn mower and broader robotics LiDAR growth. 1Q26 shipments and FY26 guidance are tracking.</li>
<li>Recent price weakness has to do with sector weakness: Hesai is a medium-term bet on global ADAS, and now also on robotic mobility. Our bull case implies upto 100% upside.</li>

<li>The competition in the field of visual sensors is particularly fierce. This has led to the dilemma of "price war" for LDROBOT's robots, which have not yet achieved large-scale profitability.</li>
<li>The IPO pricing is HK$24-30/share, with market value of HK$8-10 billion, or about RMB7-8.7 billion. If based on 2025 revenue and 2026 revenue forecast, P/S is 9.3-11.6x and 5.23-6.53x, respectively</li>
<li>Such valuation range based on IPO pricing is also close to peer <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/robosense-technology-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:39903:1" rel="noopener">Robosense </a>and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beijing-geekplus-technology-co-ltd-geek" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:35636:1" rel="noopener">Geekplus</a>. So, we think an overall valuation of about 6-7x P/S is relatively reasonable for LDROBOT.</li>
