This is a clear inflection point — Kingsoft Cloud achieved GAAP operating profitability for the first time while maintaining 30%+ revenue growth, driven by AI cloud demand. The 82% AI cloud billings growth and expanding margins suggest the AI capex cycle is translating into profitable revenue. Monitor Q3 for continued operating profit expansion and enterprise cloud reacceleration. The cash burn from infrastructure investment is the key risk to watch.
