Beyond humanoids we supply precision components into semiconductor equipment. Sales rose on data-center and generative-AI demand, with orders turning rapidly since early 2026. Semiconductors are a medium- to long-term growth trend, especially in the US, though the cycle troughed last year. The second pillar is aerospace, space and defense: we met a 3 billion yen space-revenue target last year, parts fly on Airbus, and rising defense budgets plus easing export rules — Germany furthest on dual-use — support the outlook. This is broad dual-use aerospace, not drone-specific.
My net profit fell 9.17% for the full year and 15.55% in Q1 2026, but revenue grew 8.75% in H1 and 8.72% in Q1 2026 — so the pressure is on margin, not volume. Quarterly profit ran 46.5, then 52.7, then 40.6, then 32.8 million yuan; the full-year turn came from a weak Q4 (down roughly 38% year-over-year). Gross margin was roughly flat (+0.16 point), pointing the decline below the gross line to operating expenses from capacity build-out and rising research spend. Weighted ROE has stepped down over three years, from 18.15% to 11.45% to 9.64%. The watch-item is the cycle, not the balance sheet.
Sling enters the rotary-actuator layer from the precision bearing it already owns, and it climbs the layer inside-out - three products, deepest-first by maturity. My reducer-specific cross-roller and flexible bearings are in production. The harmonic reducer completed second-phase production by period-end. The integrated actuator module - combining reducer, frameless motor, servo driver, encoder, brake - is research-reserve complete but not yet in production.
