A report surfaced yesterday regarding HONOR. It was published by Reuters, and in it, HONOR’s sales target, IPO, and state support were mentioned. We wanted to get a statement from HONOR before tackling that report. HONOR did provide us with an official statement regarding the “unusually” strong state backing mentioned in that report. So, let’s see what was said.
HONOR is said to have “unusually” strong state backing for its global expansion
In its report, Reuters said that HONOR is receiving an “unusually” high level of support from local government backers. It was also mentioned that HONOR is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO). That information was acquired from “policy documents and a person close to the matter”.
It was mentioned that “Honor is receiving research-and-development funding, tax breaks and support to expand overseas”. This was based on three Shenzen government documents and a person close to the matter, said HONOR.
Based on the provided information, HONOR is actually planning to sell 100 million smartphones annually by 2026. That would represent a 75% jump compared to 2023. HONOR is also planning to become a top three global vendor by 2028.
HONOR provided us with an official statement regarding the report
Those are huge plans by HONOR. The company’s representative provided us with a statement regarding Reuters’ report. It’s a three-sentence statement, without going into the details. You can read it below in its entirety.
“HONOR is always committed to being open and transparent. In terms of the listing progress, we are targeting reforming the stockholding system in this Q4, and the following IPO process will come subsequently in due course. Meanwhile, we will also disclose relevant financial data during the process.”
So, HONOR basically promised to be as transparent as possible, which is probably the best response the company could have provided at the time. One thing is for sure, HONOR has huge plans moving forward, and based on the company’s products in the last couple of years, and the progress made… that optimism is justified.
