📌 Background

Linklogis (9959.HK), a leading domestic supply chain finance technology provider, has surpassed 500 billion RMB in cumulative transaction volume, though domestic growth is decelerating. In 2026, the company shifted its focus toward integrating large models and AI to transform supply chain finance workflows, while exporting its supply chain finance infrastructure as a SaaS solution to emerging markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, pivoting to a new narrative of 'from supply chain finance to global trade infrastructure.'

👤 Target Customers

Commercial banks and city commercial banks; core enterprises and their upstream/downstream SME suppliers; cross-border trade service platforms and overseas local financial institutions.

💰 Revenue Streams

1) SaaS service fees based on transaction volume or asset-based profit sharing; 2) Annual/modular subscription fees from banking clients; 3) Fees for customized cross-border delivery projects.

🧮 Cost Structure

Computing power costs for large model training and inference; labor costs for R&D and cross-border implementation; costs for overseas compliance, licensing, and localized operations.

🛡️ Moat

Risk control data and business process templates accumulated from a 500 billion RMB transaction scale; high switching costs and multi-module integration stickiness for banking clients; a composite technology stack of 'supply chain finance + AI + cross-border trade infrastructure.'
