Price Chart

Executive Summary

Kingsoft Cloud filed a 6-K furnishing its AGM circular for June 30, 2026. The key material item is a proposed massive expansion of continuing connected transactions with Xiaomi (10.29% shareholder): the cloud services annual cap for 2027 is proposed to be raised from RMB4,035M to RMB6,000M, and a new hardware procurement cap of RMB1,500M is proposed for 2027, up from effectively zero. This deepens Kingsoft Cloud's reliance on Xiaomi for both revenue and capex, with cloud service revenue from Xiaomi growing 77% YoY to RMB2,255M in 2025. The filing also seeks routine approvals: director re-elections, a 20% share issuance mandate, a 10% buyback mandate, adoption of a new 2026 Share Incentive Plan (5% of shares), and bylaw amendments for virtual meetings.

Financial Impact

Cloud service revenue from Xiaomi grew 77% YoY to RMB2,255M in 2025; proposed annual caps for 2027 are RMB6,000M (cloud) and RMB1,500M (hardware). Hardware procurement caps represent a ~50x increase from 2025 actuals.

Risk Factors

• Customer concentration: Xiaomi contributed ~23.6% of total revenue in 2025; proposed caps imply this share will grow significantly.
• Dilution risk: 20% issuance mandate and 5% share incentive plan could dilute existing holders if exercised.
• Hardware procurement from Xiaomi at ~50x prior levels introduces execution risk and potential margin compression.
• Connected transaction pricing must be arm's-length; any deviation could trigger HK Listing Rule violations.
• Company remains loss-making (RMB936M loss in 2025), though narrowing from RMB1,967M in 2024.
