It is publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext board since August 2020 and filed for a Hong Kong listing in 2025–2026.

Products / operations. Anker is an operating consumer-electronics brand owner, not an NPE. It runs a fabless model — in-house design and R&D with outsourced manufacturing — across three segments: charging and energy storage (Anker, Anker SOLIX power banks, GaN chargers, home/balcony solar and portable power stations), smart innovation (eufy security cameras, robot vacuums, UV printers, baby products), and smart audio-visual (soundcore earbuds/speakers, Nebula projectors). Products sell in 180+ countries through Amazon, its own sites, and retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Costco; it claims 200m+ users. Overseas markets generate over 90% of revenue.
Litigation posture. Purely a defendant: 0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case, in D. Del. This is characteristic of an operating company defending against patent assertion, not of a two-way or asserting party.
