EB SECURITIES International indicated that AI computing highly relies on large-scale data centers. The basic function of transformers is to reduce high voltage electricity from the grid to a voltage usable by data center equipment, which is crucial in determining whether electricity can be converted into computing power. Chongqing Hitachi Energy, in which the company holds a 37.8% stake, is Hitachi Energy's largest high-voltage transformer manufacturing base in China. In a scenario where demand for transformers exceeds supply, it is expected that the investment income from this business will drive the company's profit growth rate.
