Morgan Stanley released a research report stating that Lenovo Group's PC momentum may continue until the end of this year, with the Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) of Lenovo possibly being driven by traditional and AI servers, seeing an increase in December. At the same time, the bank believes that personal computers will also drive an upward revision in the forecast for the quarter ending in September.

Looking ahead to the December quarter, Morgan Stanley believes that Lenovo Group's performance in the personal computer business may outperform its peers, as market share continues to increase, with a quarter-on-quarter growth rate remaining steady or rising by up to 5%. The bank believes that the momentum of revenue growth for the group should be sustainable, especially since Lenovo's AI servers only began shipping in the quarter ending in September, and with the high combination and large scale of AI servers, it is highly likely to reach a breakeven level
