Positive Catalysts:
Favorable earnings outlook from 民生证券.
Strong positioning in niche vertical markets (taxation, military, aviation) that demand specialized software solutions.
Ongoing development of Chinasoft Linux and language conversion tools may broaden revenue streams.
Risks:
Historically negative earnings (2024 net loss of ¥4.13 billion).
Volatile market sentiment within the technology sector, evidenced by recent AI PC outflows.
Limited disclosed information on current revenue streams and growth drivers beyond software development.
5. Conclusion
China National Software & Service Co Ltd remains a technology specialist with a focused product portfolio. The recent Recommendation rating and projected 2025 profitability suggest potential upside if the company can convert its technological capabilities into consistent earnings. Investors should monitor earnings releases and any strategic initiatives that may accelerate revenue diversification, while remaining cognizant of broader technology‑sector volatility.
