Citi issued a research report initiating coverage on MiniMax-W (Xiyu Technology) (00100.HK) with a Buy/High Risk rating and a target price of HKD1,330. The bank believes MiniMax is a vertically integrated, AI-native company focused on global, multimodal (text, video, audio, music) capabilities. It has rapidly emerged in the foundational AI model space as a key global player alongside OpenAI, Google and Alibaba-W (09988.HK). Citis investment thesis is built on four pillars. First, the companys technological breakthroughs and efficient research and development, leveraging a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture and hybrid attention mechanisms, enable efficient capital utilization and strong returns on investment. Second, its strategic multimodal approach has delivered world-class performance across text, video and audio. Third, its global-first, domestic plus overseas diversification strategy, through the overseas Talkie entertainment platform, targets high-ARPU user segments and provides financial support to the company. Fourth, its balanced ToC-first commercialization pathway funds R&D while capitalizing on the current AI agent trend to expand ToB operations. Citi expects the M3 model series, scheduled for launch in mid-2026, to be a key catalyst, potentially narrowing the intelligence gap with top-tier global competitors and advancing its high-value digital employee strategy. The bank forecasts a revenue CAGR of 128% from 2025 to 2030 and expects the company to achieve profitability in 2H29. The target price is based on 30x 2028 forecast price-to-sales (P/S), representing a 15% discount to the stocks two-year forward P/S average of 35x since its listing in January 2026.
