Abstract generation in progress

AI-driven demand growth is gradually reversing the long-standing loss situation for China’s cloud service providers. In its most recent financial report, Kingsoft Cloud said that in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company generated revenue of 2.76 billion yuan, up 23.7% year over year, and it has turned adjusted operating profit positive for two consecutive quarters. Tencent’s disclosed financials show that Tencent Cloud, after years of losses, achieved profitability at scale for the first time. Industry insiders have analyzed that for a long time, due to low-price competition, the cloud computing industry’s overall profitability has been weak. But with the surge in AI demand, the industry landscape is undergoing profound change. Even though the upstream of cloud services is also facing pressure from higher supply chain costs, in the AI era, cloud providers’ pricing power is expected to improve. (Securities Times)
