Key Takeaways
(Bloomberg) -- AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. rose more than 4 percent after a Morgan Stanley report highlighted the company’s strategic entry into the market for artificial intelligence data center components.
Morgan Stanley maintained its “Overweight” rating and a HKD 42 price target on the stock, according to a research note. The bank’s positive outlook follows the start of large-scale production of a new Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) by JYUNDSE16, a subsidiary of AAC Tech.
The new products, named ATAHORAN 2.2MW/2.6MW, are designed specifically for cooling AI data centers and have a current monthly production capacity of 400 units. The first shipments have already been deployed in data centers in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen. The stock, which trades on the Hong Kong exchange under the ticker 02018.HK, traded at HKD 40.62. The price target of HKD 42 implies a 3.4 percent upside.
Shares in AAC Tech hit a peak of HKD 40.82 during the session on turnover of HKD 136 million. The broker believes the development is strategically significant, allowing AAC Tech to capitalize on new growth opportunities from the build-out of global AI infrastructure.
This move into the AI supply chain provides AAC Tech with a new potential revenue stream beyond its traditional electronics components business. For investors, the successful production and deployment of these cooling units is a key validation of the company's diversification strategy. The next catalyst will be the company's upcoming earnings reports, where the market will look for initial revenue figures from the new CDU products.
