Lenovo Q2 FY 2026 Earnings Highlight Hybrid AI Mix Gains
Analyst Take: Lenovo’s Q2 FY 2026 performance reflects strong execution against a hybrid AI thesis spanning devices, infrastructure, and services. The mix shift toward AI—now 30% of group revenue—suggests rising attach of AI features in PCs and smartphones and broadening adoption of AI infrastructure and services. Management emphasized a transition from cloud training to on-premises and edge inferencing, which should expand device and application pull-through. Cash generation and working capital discipline provide funding for continued AI investments as demand visibility improves into the second half.
Personal AI and IDG Momentum
Lenovo’s Personal AI strategy centers on “One Personal AI, Multiple Devices,” with a global launch of its Personal AI super agent slated for January 6, 2026. IDG revenue reached $15.1 billion, up 12% YoY, with a record 25.6% global PC market share and continued leadership across consumer and commercial. AI PC penetration rose to 33% of Lenovo PC shipments, with a 31.1% share in the global Windows AI PC segment, pointing to a durable refresh cycle. AI device revenue mix within IDG increased to 36%, up 17 points YoY, and Motorola delivered record smartphone volumes. Premium PC shipments grew 25% YoY, reinforcing margin support from higher-value segments. Together, these dynamics position IDG to monetize AI features across PCs, tablets, and smartphones as the Personal AI super agent expands the ecosystem.
Enterprise AI and ISG Pipeline
ISG revenue was $4.1 billion, up 24% YoY, supported by dual momentum in cloud service providers (CSP) and enterprise/SMB, and a strong AI infrastructure pipeline. AI server revenue grew at a high double-digit rate, underpinned by deployments spanning AI training clusters, GPUs as a service, and scaled liquid cooling. Neptune liquid cooling revenue rose 154% YoY, supporting higher-density systems and efficiency targets for advanced AI workloads. Management highlighted a market transition toward on-premises and edge inferencing, which can broaden ISG’s addressable market and pull through devices and applications. Localized offerings and the ODM+ model in China contributed to operating performance improvements and differentiated routes-to-market. ISG’s roadmap and customer expansion suggest rising leverage as inferencing workloads scale across hybrid environments.
Services Scale and AI Solutions
SSG revenue grew 18% YoY to $2.6 billion, marking the 18th consecutive quarter of YoY growth, with operating margin above 22%. Managed services plus Projects and Solutions accounted for 59.9% of SSG revenue, with AI services tripling YoY and deferred revenue up 17% YoY to $3.6 billion. Demand in hybrid cloud, AI, and Digital Workplace Solutions outpaced the addressable market, aided by TruScale DaaS and Infrastructure-as-a-Service wins. The Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage—combining AI factory, AI services, and an AI solution library—targets repeatable, scalable use cases across verticals such as manufacturing and retail. Rising attach from devices continues to support support-services profitability and recurring revenue. This portfolio focus provides a foundation for higher-value services growth tied to enterprise AI adoption.
Outlook and Final Thoughts
Lenovo did not issue formal quantitative guidance, but management indicated confidence in double-digit growth in PCs and servers over the next two quarters and stable margins despite memory cost headwinds. The company plans to continue investing in AI devices, hybrid infrastructure, and repeatable AI solutions and services, supported by strong cash generation. With AI now 30% of group revenue, the setup favors continued mix shift toward AI-led offerings across IDG, ISG, and SSG. The upcoming Personal AI super agent launch should further connect devices and services, while the pivot to inferencing expands enterprise deployment options. Execution against CSP and enterprise/SMB dual strategies, plus localized models, remains a key lever for ISG’s profitability path.
