Huawei Reports 8.6% Profit Increase for 2025 Amid Steady Performance

Huawei Technologies announced financial results for 2025 showing continued recovery momentum with an 8.6% increase in net profit. The Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer reported net earnings of 68 billion yuan (approximately US$9.8 billion) for the year, up from 62.6 billion yuan in 2024. Total revenue reached 880.9 billion yuan, representing a 2.2% growth from the previous year's 862.1 billion yuan. Company leadership described the overall performance as steady and consistent with expectations. Rotating Chairwoman Sabrina Meng Wanzhou emphasized the importance of maintaining strategic direction despite uncertain future conditions. The company's financial disclosure, released on Tuesday through its annual report, comes as Huawei continues to focus on semiconductor development and smartphone production despite ongoing U.S. restrictions. While the revenue growth rate slowed significantly from the previous year's 22% increase, 2025 sales represented the second-highest annual total in company history, trailing only the 891 billion yuan achieved in 2020. Huawei, though privately held, regularly publishes key financial data voluntarily. The company's performance demonstrates resilience in the face of international trade limitations that began affecting its mobile phone and global operations several years prior.
