Arab Finance: Huawei released its 2025 Annual Report, reporting financial performance in line with company forecasts, with $126 billion in revenue and $9.7 billion in net profit, as per an emailed press release.

Demonstrating its continued commitment to innovation, Huawei invested $27.5 billion into R&D, which accounted for 21.8% of its annual revenue in 2025. The company’s R&D investment over the past decade amounts to $197.7 billion, reinforcing its long-term focus on innovation and technological advancement.

This commitment is further reflected in its talent and intellectual property strength, with approximately 114,000 employees—representing 53.7% of the workforce—dedicated to R&D, and a global portfolio of 165,000 active granted patents as of year-end 2025.

"In 2025, Huawei's overall performance remained steady," said Sabrina Meng, Huawei's Rotating Chairwoman. "I would like to thank our customers for their ongoing trust and support. We are also grateful to customers for choosing Huawei, and to our suppliers, partners, and developers around the world for their ongoing collaboration.”

In 2025, Huawei's connectivity business weathered the impact of industry investment cycles, while its computing business continued to seize opportunities in AI. Huawei's digital power business also continued to place quality before all else.

Huawei Cloud honed its competitiveness with a focus on core services, and the company's intelligent automotive solutions grew rapidly. Meanwhile, the consumer business worked to overcome formidable challenges, driving the HarmonyOS ecosystem to cross a new threshold in user experience.

Moving forward, Huawei will continue to ramp up R&D investment in strategic domains like connectivity, computing, cloud, devices, intelligent driving, and AI.

The company will hone its competitive edge by integrating AI and security into products and networks, and building industry ecosystems around Ascend, Kunpeng, and HarmonyOS that thrive on collaboration and shared success.

It will also continue to actively embrace openness and innovation, and achieve long-term development through quality, while creating value for customers, partners, and society.
