On December 31, Guo Ping, Huawei's rotating chairman, delivered a 2022 New Year's speech, saying that Huawei's revenue for the whole year of 2021 fell by 28.9% year-on-year to 634 billion yuan, and its revenue in the fourth quarter fell by 19% to 178.2 billion yuan.
On October 29, Huawei's official website announced the operation of the first three quarters of this year, with total revenue of 455.8 billion yuan and net profit of 10.2%. Xiao Lei checked last year's data, Huawei's total revenue in the first three quarters of 2020 was 671.3 billion yuan, and this year's annual revenue did not catch up with the first three quarters of last year.
Guo Ping, huawei's rotating chairman, said frankly that the To B business (for enterprises) remains stable, and the problem is mainly in the To C business (for consumers). Fortunately, the year-on-year decline in revenue in the fourth quarter has narrowed significantly, far below the overall level of the whole year, and Huawei is stepping out of the difficulties step by step.
In terms of mobile phone business, Huawei's heavyweight machines in the second half of the year are basically only Huawei P50 and vertical folding mobile phone P50 Pocket two, Huawei's current inventory kirin 9000 chips are not much, mass production of new machines is basically Qualcomm's 4G chips.
The lack of 5G has had a significant impact on Huawei's mobile phone business, and at this point in time, Xiaolei does not recommend that small partners purchase 4G mobile phones. Huawei is also working hard to strengthen the research and development of components such as radio frequency, and XiaoLei is looking forward to Huawei's mobile phones using 5G and returning to the competition ranks of head mobile phone brands.
A few days ago, it was reported that the Mate 50 series may be released early next year, using a kirin chip with a domestic 14nm process. Xiao Lei believes that the credibility of this news is not high, the domestic semiconductor industry is temporarily difficult to achieve self-sufficiency, and many chips and raw materials still need to be purchased from abroad.
Huawei's mobile phone business currently has the bottleneck of 5G, which is really not good for development, and Huawei is developing businesses such as automobiles. In the AITO Q&I M5 cooperated with Jinkang Cyrus, Huawei participated in in-depth cooperation in research and development, many aspects are designed by Huawei, the competitiveness of new products is already good, if it can personally go down to build a car, it is still quite exciting.
Huawei is the private enterprise with the highest investment in domestic research and development, and Xiao Lei certainly does not want Huawei to fall. Fortunately, Huawei's To B business is still stable, and it has gained a lot of share in the 5G base station and server market. This year, Huawei has entered the field of industrial applications, launched the mining hong operating system, and when new businesses such as automobiles are stable, Xiaolei believes that Huawei can gradually recover.
