Moore Threads, a Beijing-based GPU designer founded by former Nvidia China executive Zhang Jianzhong, reported first-half 2026 financial results showing revenue of 1.736 billion yuan, a 147.42 percent increase compared to the same period a year prior. Gross profit crossed 989 million yuan, up over 103 percent, while net losses narrowed. The company reported cumulative research and development spending approaching 5.9 billion yuan since 2022, with another 769 million yuan funneled into R&D during the first half of 2026 alone. The revenue surge is driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure rather than consumer graphics cards. Its flagship MTT S5000 AI computing cluster has achieved scaled commercial sales, with deployments across Beijing, Wuxi, and Hangzhou, serving as an alternative for domestic labs after international hardware options disappeared due to trade barriers. The company has also expanded its MUSA software stack ecosystem, crossing a threshold of over 800,000 registered developers. The article notes the company is eyeing a Hong Kong secondary listing as part of an international expansion strategy.
