Thesis Summary

Viomi Technology has successfully completed its strategic reorganization, divesting underperforming IoT segments to focus on high-potential home water solutions. While the company returned to profitability in 2024 and achieved solid full-year 2025 revenue growth of 14.6% YoY, its second-half 2025 performance was severely impacted by the phase-down of Chinese government water purification subsidies and lower orders from Xiaomi. The company's high revenue concentration with Xiaomi (representing approximately 90% of total revenues in H2 2025) remains a critical risk. However, its strong balance sheet (RMB 1.3 billion in cash assets), active share buyback program, and aggressive 'Global Water' expansion strategy provide a solid floor for the stock, justifying a Hold rating.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$0.6020%

Pricing pressure in the Chinese water purification market intensifies, further compressing gross margins. Overseas expansion faces regulatory or execution hurdles, failing to offset domestic weakness. Xiaomi continues to reduce its order volumes, severely impacting Viomi's top-line performance and leading to cash burn.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$1.5050%

Viomi maintains steady domestic market share in home water solutions while executing a gradual international expansion. Revenue growth remains moderate in 2026 as the company laps the challenging subsidy-driven comparisons of H1 2025. Profitability is supported by the high-efficiency Foshan Gigafactory, and the special dividend and ongoing share repurchases provide downside protection.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$2.2530%

The 'Global Water' strategy delivers triple-digit overseas growth in 2026, driven by strong traction of the Vortex series on Amazon US and successful localized launches in Southeast Asia. The newly operational overseas premium production line drives manufacturing efficiencies, while domestic demand recovers as competitors ease pricing pressure. Xiaomi orders stabilize, and the high-margin consumables segment expands rapidly.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
