Revenues from public cloud services were RMB1,353.5 million (US$186.5 million), increased by 14.0% from RMB1,187.4 million in the same quarter of 2024 and decreased by 4.0% from RMB1,409.8 million last quarter.

The sequential decrease was mainly due to the Chinese New Year impact and differentiated delivery schedules for various projects. Other revenues were nil this quarter. Cost of revenues was RMB1,651.7 million (US$227.6 million), representing an increase of 11.4% from RMB1,482.4 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to our investment into AI computing resources.

The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of newly acquired servers which were allocated to AI business.

Defense stocks trade higher after Israel airstrikes in Iran raise Middle East tensions
Defense stocks climbed early Friday after Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Iran, raising tensions in the Middle East and heightening fears of a broader regional conflict. Lockheed Martin (LMT) stock gained as much as 3% early Friday, while shares of Northrop Grumman (NOC) and RTX (RTX) rose closer to 2%. The three companies supply weapons to Israel through their contracts with the US government. US stocks were lower at the open, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq off about 0.7% while the Dow fell 1.1%. Overnight futures fell nearly 2% in immediate reaction to Israel's airstrikes, which were first reported near 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday. Oil prices were the biggest mover on Friday, rising as much as 8%. Defense stocks have been on the rise over the past year, with Friday's gains bringing RTX stock's gain to north of 35% over the past year, while Northrop Grumman is up 19.5%. Lockheed Martin has risen a more modest 3.9% over that time frame. Palantir (PLTR), a defense contractor that has benefited both from the bid in defense names and its role in the AI boom, traded flat Friday morning. Its stock has soared more than 480% over the last year and is the best performer in the S&P 500 year-to-date. RTX has outperformed Wall Street's expectations since the fourth quarter of 2022. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have beat analysts' projections in seven and six of those nine quarters, respectively. The Trump administration has promised a $1 trillion budget for US defense but its fiscal 2026 budget looks set to fall short of that goal. On Thursday night, Israel launched what it called a "preemptive strike" against Iran targeting its nuclear facilities. The attacks continued into Friday, killing 78 people in Tehran including Iran's top military leadership. Iran's foreign minister described the attacks as a 'declaration of war' and its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel 'should expect severe punishment.' US President Trump urged Iran to 'make a deal' in a post on Truth Social Friday. 'There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end,' he wrote. 'Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.'

Thanks to the Fed's series of rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has cooled significantly from its post-pandemic highs, drawing closer to the 2% goal. This disinflation has occurred without severely impacting economic growth, suggesting the success of a soft landing. The stock market thrived in 2024, spurred by recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November), and a notable surge followed Donald Trump's presidential election win in November, propelling indices to historic highs. Nonetheless, the outlook for 2025 remains clouded by potential trade policy changes and corporate tax discussions, which could impact business confidence and growth. The path forward holds both optimism and caution as new policies take shape. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals? Check out our Top 5 Growth Stocks and add them to your watchlist.
