HONG KONG SAR – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 27 
August 2026 – In an era when enterprise software valuations are being fundamentally
repriced by the rise of agentic AI, Deepexi Technology Co., Ltd. (1384.HK) has emerged
as a rare counterexample: a pure-play enterprise AI platform that is delivering 
both technology leadership and bottom-line profitability. According to the company’s
first interim results following its public listing, Deepexi recorded a 115% year-
over-year surge in revenue for the first half of the year, powered by a 209% leap
in core AI revenue and a decisive turnaround to quarterly GAAP profitability in 
the second quarter of 2026. This performance has earned the company “Buy” and “Overweight”
ratings from multiple brokerages within its first year of listing.

 **Quarterly Profitability: A Rare Milestone in Hong Kong’s AI Sector**

 In capital markets, ambitious visions must ultimately be backed by real financial
performance—and Deepexi’s interim results provide clear proof of execution.

 For the first half of 2026, the company generated RMB 284.0 million in total revenue,
marking a 115.0% year-over-year increase. Its AI business served as the primary 
growth engine, contributing RMB 226.0 million—an impressive 209.2% year-over-year
surge—bringing AI revenue to 79.6% of total corporate turnover.

 Even more noteworthy is the marked improvement in profitability. First-half gross
profit reached RMB 160.0 million, up 120.5% year-over-year, with gross profit margin
expanding to 56.5%. Crucially, during the second quarter of 2026, Deepexi posted
a standalone quarterly net profit of approximately RMB 30.1 million, officially 
crossing the breakeven threshold.

 In Hong Kong’s technology sector, pure-play enterprise AI companies capable of 
achieving quarterly net profitability while sustaining high R&D investment remain
exceptionally rare. This milestone underscores Deepexi’s operational efficiency,
scalable software delivery, and self-sustaining monetization engine.

 This scarcity value is equally evident in the company’s revenue composition and
vertical reach. Industrial manufacturing accounted for more than 50% of total revenue,
while retail and consumer goods contributed 30%, alongside expanding footholds in
healthcare and smart transportation. In manufacturing, for example, equipment troubleshooting
and predictive maintenance involve dense engineering schematics, real-time IoT sensor
telemetry, and extensive historical maintenance logs—all of which Deepexi translates
into structured logic that AI models can readily interpret. This deep vertical expertise
and proprietary data accumulation create a formidable competitive barrier that general-
purpose AI vendors cannot easily match.

 Beyond the “SaaSpocalypse”: Deepexi’s AI-Native Platform Defies the Software Valuation
Reset

 The first quarter of 2026 witnessed what market observers have dubbed the “SaaSpocalypse”—
a tectonic shift in which approximately $2 trillion in market capitalization was
erased from B2B software equities, driven by a fundamental fear that agentic AI 
would cannibalize the traditional per-seat licensing model. The iShares Expanded
Tech-Software ETF (IGV) plunged nearly 21% year-to-date, and enterprise software
multiples (EV/Sales) cratered from a 5.6x average at the end of 2025 to 4.2x by 
mid-March.

 Investors have pivoted decisively toward AI-native infrastructure—companies that
manage the data and underlying plumbing of autonomous systems—while penalizing traditional
application-layer SaaS vendors reliant on human-centric interfaces. As a recent 
Windsor Drake analysis notes, “AI-native agentic platforms clear 14x to 22x revenue,
with private rounds at 20x to 30x,” while legacy standalone RPA trades at just 2.5x
to 5x. The market is now rewarding AI-native architecture and measurable workflow
ownership.

 Deepexi sits squarely on the winning side of this divergence. Unlike traditional
SaaS vendors whose revenues are tied to human seat counts—and thus vulnerable to
agentic displacement—Deepexi’s token-based, consumption-driven model aligns directly
with the agentic AI future. The company’s DeepWorks enterprise Agent platform does
not sell per-seat licenses; it sells AI productivity, enabling enterprises to deploy
autonomous agents that replace repetitive administrative work, not software seats.
As the market shifts from “AI as a feature” to “AI as a replacement,” Deepexi’s 
business model is structurally insulated from the seat-compression forces that have
punished legacy software vendors.

 **Focus on Enterprise AI Applications and Proprietary Domain Data**

 To ensure AI truly meets real-world enterprise demands, generic foundational models
are insufficient on their own. Deepexi’s core competitive edge lies in its specialized“
Data + AI” dual-engine architecture, anchored by the FastData enterprise data intelligence
platform, the FastAGI agentic AI suite, and the Deepexi Enterprise Large Model Platform,
supported by its proprietary Deepology ontology dataset containing over 2,000 vertical
industry skills.

 At the foundational layer, the FastData platform—powered by the FastData Foil fusion
engine—acts as an intelligent lakehouse that tokenizes structured, semi-structured,
and complex unstructured enterprise data into standardized formats ready for large
model training and inference. Building upon this data foundation, the FastAGI platform
and DeepWorks Enterprise Agent Platform provide organizations with a flexible, modular
AI operating system.

 Featuring a pluggable architecture, the platform connects seamlessly to leading
open-source foundation models such as DeepSeek and Zhipu AI, giving enterprise clients
complete autonomy while eliminating vendor lock-in. This “model-agnostic” approach
is a key differentiator in an environment where enterprises increasingly demand 
flexibility to choose the best model for each use case, rather than being locked
into a single provider.

 Through native Model Context Protocol (MCP) frameworks and specialized agents—ranging
from operational decision-making agents to productivity and autonomous workflow 
execution agents—Deepexi embeds intelligence directly into core business operations.
DeepWorks is fully integrated with mainstream workplace collaboration suites such
as DingTalk, Feishu, and Tencent Meeting, allowing employees to summon AI copilots
directly for automated weekly reporting, data synthesis, and cross-departmental 
coordination—effectively turning AI into an indispensable daily productivity tool.

 In an enterprise AI market where 42% of organizations already have AI agents in
production and 72% are deploying across production and pilots combined, Deepexi’s
proven, governed agentic workflows are no longer an experiment—they are core infrastructure.

 **Strategic Partnership with Huawei Cloud: Tackling Compute and Data Bottlenecks**

 In the commercialization of enterprise AI, computing costs and access to high-quality
domain data represent two of the industry’s most critical bottlenecks. On August
12, Deepexi announced a strategic alliance with Huawei Cloud to jointly launch enterprise
data intelligence solutions, providing strong operational backing for the company’s
long-term expansion.

 The partnership combines the complementary strengths of both technology leaders.
Huawei Cloud provides underlying Ascend AI computing clusters and distributed cloud
infrastructure, while Deepexi brings its deep expertise in enterprise data governance,
data tokenization, and vertical AI agent deployments. By integrating with Huawei’s
domestic Ascend compute clusters, Deepexi not only secures stable, long-term computing
power but also significantly drives down token processing costs. This cost efficiency
establishes ideal conditions for exploring usage-based, token-metered commercial
billing models—precisely the kind of consumption-based pricing that aligns with 
the agentic AI future.

 Crucially, falling AI costs are widely expected to accelerate enterprise adoption
of autonomous agents. Deepexi’s partnership with Huawei Cloud positions the company
to capture this demand wave with a cost structure that improves as token volumes
scale—a powerful margin-expansion dynamic that stands in stark contrast to the fixed-
cost burden of traditional SaaS.

 **Strong Institutional Backing Highlights Long-Term Investment Value**

 Reflecting strong capital market confidence, Deepexi announced on August 17 the
successful placement of 14,286,000 new H-shares at HK$35.00 per share, raising net
proceeds of approximately HK$488.0 million. Successfully closing a sizeable placement
amid broader market volatility demonstrates strong institutional recognition of 
Deepexi’s proven business model, robust unit economics, and profitability trajectory.

 The company’s strategic shareholder structure provides a solid foundation for long-
term growth. It is supported by prominent independent investors, including Hillhouse,
5Y Capital, and BAI, as well as industry-focused investors such as Shanghai AI. 
These partnerships enhance Deepexi’s industry reputation, drive technological innovation,
and strengthen its market competitiveness.

 The newly raised funds are earmarked primarily for continuous R&D in next-generation
enterprise agent systems and token productivity platforms—positioning the company
to capture the $206.5 billion AI agent software market projected for 2026, which
Gartner expects to grow to $376.3 billion in 2027.

 **Investment Thesis: Why Deepexi Stands Apart**

 1. AI-Native Architecture in an Agentic World. Unlike legacy SaaS vendors facing
seat compression, Deepexi’s token-based model is structurally aligned with the agentic
AI future. The company doesn’t sell software seats—it sells AI productivity.

 2. Rare Profitability in Enterprise AI. Quarterly GAAP profitability at a 56.5%
gross margin, with projected revenue CAGR of 95.5% through 2027, places Deepexi 
among the most financially disciplined enterprise AI companies globally.

 3. Model-Agnostic, Vendor-Neutral Platform. In an environment where enterprises
demand flexibility, Deepexi’s pluggable architecture—supporting DeepSeek, Zhipu,
and other open-source models—eliminates lock-in and captures value regardless of
which foundation model wins.

 4. Proprietary Data Moat. With over 2,000 vertical industry skills and deep expertise
in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and transportation, Deepexi’s domain-specific
data capabilities create barriers that general-purpose AI vendors cannot replicate.

 5. Strategic Compute Partnership with Huawei Cloud. Long-term, cost-effective compute
access, combined with token-metered pricing models, positions Deepexi for sustained
margin expansion as token volumes scale.

 6. Institutional Validation. Backing from top-tier investors and a successful HK
$488 million placement amid market volatility signal strong institutional confidence
in Deepexi’s business model and growth trajectory.

 The enterprise AI market has decisively shifted from early conceptual exploration
into a new era of commercial execution and tangible financial delivery. Backed by
mature product suites across FastData and FastAGI, proprietary vertical ontologies,
strategic cloud partnerships, and an official transition to net profitability, Deepexi
Technology has proven that enterprise AI can deliver both transformative technology
and sustainable profits.
