For the complete fiscal year 2026, revenue totaled $83.1 billion, reflecting a 20% uptick. Profit attributable to shareholders increased 38% to $1.91 billion.

Artificial intelligence served as the primary catalyst for these results. Revenue tied to AI technologies doubled throughout the fiscal year and represented one-third of consolidated group revenue. During the fourth quarter specifically, AI-generated revenue constituted 38% of total sales.

Infrastructure Division Reaches Critical Milestone

The infrastructure solutions segment, encompassing AI servers and data center hardware, delivered record quarterly revenue and operating income. Across the full year, this division generated $19.2 billion in revenue while returning to positive earnings after facing operational headwinds.

Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing characterized this performance as “an inflection point” for the business unit. DBS analysts had previously projected that sustained profitability in the server division was imminent as artificial intelligence implementations expand and liquid cooling technology becomes the industry standard for new data center facilities.

Management anticipates the infrastructure segment will evolve into a second major growth driver complementing the traditional devices business.

PC Market Dominance Strengthens, Premium Segment Expands

Within the devices category, the intelligent devices group — encompassing personal computers and mobile devices — achieved 17% annual revenue growth. Lenovo maintained its leadership position as the globe’s largest PC manufacturer, capturing 24.4% of worldwide market share during Q4, a record-high figure according to IDC data.

Premium PC products represented 50% of total unit shipments in the most recent quarter, an increase from previous reporting periods.

The board of directors recommended a final dividend of HK$0.337 per share, compared to HK$0.305 in the prior year.

Having achieved $83.1 billion in full-year revenue, Lenovo has established its next milestone: reaching $100 billion in annual sales within a two-year timeframe. The strategy depends on three core elements — expanding AI infrastructure capabilities, accelerating the services business, and maintaining device market dominance.

One potential headwind deserves attention: a worldwide memory chip supply constraint fueled by the AI infrastructure buildout is elevating component expenses. Industry analysts have identified this as a possible margin compression factor. Yang recognized the issue, noting that Lenovo will leverage its supply chain capabilities to navigate the challenge.

“The strength of every PC vendor’s supply chain and ability to access core components, such as memory, will be tested,” said IDC analyst Jean Philippe Bouchard.
