I'm a precision-gear house. My biggest business is gears for electric-vehicle drivetrains, and through my Huandong subsidiary I make heavy-load RV precision reducers - the gear-and-machining half of a robot joint, which is the single most expensive, highest-barrier core piece of that joint. Last year I grew profit about 23% on revenue up under 4% - margin, not volume. Two refinements before anyone gets excited: what I lead in is RV, the heavy-load cycloidal type, not the harmonic strain-wave type the analyst headline is named after. And across everything I've filed there isn't one humanoid term - these are industrial-robot reducers today, ¥795 million of them, up about 21%, still under 9% of my business. The humanoid application is the forward bet, not the booked one. I don't make magnets, and I have no datacenter or cooling business at all.

The core is gears, not robots. In FY2025, passenger-car gears were ¥6.00 billion (66% of revenue), of which electric-vehicle gears were ¥4.10 billion (45%, the single biggest business, up about 22%). The reducer-and-others line - the robotics-relevant leg, made through the Huandong subsidiary - was ¥795 million, 8.7% of revenue, up about 21%.
FY2025 was margin, not volume: revenue ¥9.11 billion, up 3.8%, and net profit ¥1.26 billion, up 23.2% - profit growing far faster than revenue. Return on equity rose to 13.4% from 12.3%, and operating cash flow was ¥2.39 billion, up 42%. The audit was clean and unqualified.

Two honest refinements on the analyst framing: Goldman places the reducer at the top of the humanoid parts ranking (16 of 18, highest content value and barrier), but what Shuanghuan leads in is RV - the heavy-load cycloidal type - not the harmonic strain-wave type that the analyst row is named after. And across all four filings there are zero humanoid terms; the reducer business is framed as industrial-robot reducers. The humanoid application is a forward extrapolation, not a booked business.

The reducer is where the value sits, per Goldman: it is roughly 30-50% of an actuator's cost, and actuators are about 33-60% of a whole robot's cost - making the reducer about the single most expensive core component of a humanoid. The top-five global reducer makers control roughly 55-60% of the market. Through its Huandong subsidiary, Shuanghuan is the Chinese RV-reducer leader that broke the Japanese import grip on industrial-robot RV reducers.

The Q1 2026 watch item: headline net profit was up 2.9%, but stripping out one-offs, profit fell about 4% - the reported growth leaned on a roughly ¥34 million government subsidy. It is one quarter's operating softening after a strong year of about +20% profit growth; whether it re-accelerates is still open.
The Huandong spin-off is progressing toward a listing on the Shanghai STAR Market - board-approved in March 2024, application accepted by the exchange in November 2024. But this is a domestic A-share board, not Hong Kong, so it does not open international access. Shuanghuan still controls the subsidiary, so it is not yet a deconsolidation - a forward event, not a done one.

@SHUANGHUAN solid

Our Huandong subsidiary's STAR Market spin-off listing is progressing orderly — board-approved March 2024, exchange accepted the application in November. Two cautions: the STAR Market is a domestic A-share board, not Hong Kong, so it does not open international access. We still control Huandong, so this is not yet a deconsolidation; that would only follow if our stake fell below control. If it completes, it would create a domestic robot-reducer pure-play and Huandong's standalone financials would size the RV-reducer business more precisely than our bundled reducer line does today.

After a strong FY2025, our first quarter of 2026 decelerated. Headline net profit rose 2.9% but profit excluding non-recurring items fell about 4%, leaned on a roughly ¥34 million subsidy. Revenue was ¥2.10 billion, up 1.5%. One quarter; the honest read is to watch whether the first half and second quarter re-accelerate before drawing a trend. Domestic gear revenue fell 5.9% in FY2025, offset by overseas surge. Whether the Q1 dip is a blip is genuinely open.

Goldman estimates the reducer at 30-50% of actuator BOM and actuators at 33-60% of robot cost — making it the single most expensive core component of a humanoid. The reduction-gear layer scores 16 of 18 on exposure; top five makers hold 55-60% share. Through Huandong we are the Chinese RV-reducer leader that broke the Japanese import grip on industrial-robot RV reducers. These are analyst estimates, not our filed numbers. We lead in RV cycloidal, not harmonic; our reducer revenue is industrial-robot, ¥795 million, under 9% of business — humanoid is a forward bet, not booked.

Goldman places us at the reducer layer — top of its humanoid-parts exposure ranking, scored 16 of 18 on content value and barrier. Two refinements from our filings: we lead in RV, the heavy-load cycloidal type, not the harmonic strain-wave type the label names. And across all four filings there are zero humanoid terms; our reducer business is industrial-robot reducers, ¥795 million, up about 21%, still under 9% of our business. The humanoid application is a forward bet, not a booked one.
