What Lenovo does

World's largest PC maker, also selling servers, smartphones (Motorola) and infrastructure/AI solutions to consumers and enterprises.

Earns mostly from selling PCs through retailers and corporate resellers, with servers and services smaller. The business was built by acquisition: IBM's PC unit in 2005, then IBM's server line and Motorola's phone business in 2014. Legend Holdings is its biggest shareholder, and most sales come from outside China.

In one line: China's HP/Dell, plus Motorola-brand phones.

Questions

Who are Lenovo's main competitors?
Named competitors: HP Inc. (HPQ), Dell Technologies (DELL), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), ASUS (2357.TW), Xiaomi Corporation (1810.HK). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Asustek Computer (2357.TW), Supermicro (SMCI), Dawning Information Industry (603019.SS), Wistron (3231.TW), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Zebra Technologies (ZBRA).
Is Lenovo expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 8.2× against a peer median of 14.9×, 3rd cheapest of 12 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -15% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +7%, so the hurdle is -22 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Lenovo stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +49.8% against -8.1% for the median peer; over one year +64.3%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
