12.2.2026 05:13:00 CET | Business Wire | Press Release
Lenovo GroupLimited (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), together with its subsidiaries (‘the Group’), today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025/26, a quarter that delivered record revenues, accelerated profitability, and continued AI revenue expansion. During the quarter, overall group revenue reached an all-time fiscal quarter high of US$22.2 billion, up 18% year-on-year, with revenue from all business groups growing double-digit year-on-year. Excluding non-operating non-cash items and one-time gains and charges in Q3 FY24/25 and Q3 FY25/26, adjusted net income (profit attributable to equity holders – non-HKFRS)[1] increased by 36% year-on-year to US$589 million, with adjusted net income margin[1] expanding to 2.7%.
The results demonstrate the Group’s ability to deliver on its promise of double-digit growth and sustained profitability, while proving its ability to manage through cycles by leveraging innovation to drive growth and operational excellence to navigate volatility. AI has become a leading multi-year growth engine for the Group, with AI-related revenue growing 72 percent year-on-year to represent nearly a third (32%) of overall Group revenue, driven by strong demand across AI devices, infrastructure, services, and solutions. The quarter was marked by strong topline growth, driven by expanding market leadership in PCs and Smart Devices, record volume and activation in smartphones, and all-time-high revenue from both the Infrastructure Solutions Group, and Services and Solutions Group.
To better capture the multi-year AI training demand and long-term AI inferencing growth, the Group undertook a strategic restructuring of its ISG business, resulting in one-time restructuring charges in Q3 FY25/26 of US$285 million. The optimized cost structure, streamlined product portfolio, and strengthened sales organization are expected to deliver annual run-rate savings of over US$200 million over the next three years and accelerate the transformation towards profitable and sustainable growth for ISG.
Chairman and CEO quote – Yuanqing Yang:
“Lenovo delivered an outstanding performance across all fronts in the third fiscal quarter, with all main businesses achieving strong double-digit revenue growth and AI becoming a leading growth engine.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
