Data for the first half of 2026 shows Huawei's revenue at approximately $70B, net profit at $3.5B, and R&D spending at $18B. While revenue is about 40% of Nvidia's and profit is minimal, Huawei's R&D investment is comparable to Nvidia's. Analysts attribute this to heavy investments in AI and chips as part of its broader business portfolio.
