Cisco vs Huawei
Huawei is bigger by revenue: it reported CNY 880.9 billion (about $126.0 billion) for calendar 2025, versus Cisco's $63.3 billion for the fiscal year ended July 25, 2026, making Huawei roughly twice Cisco's size. Cisco is far more profitable on a comparable basis, converting about 21% of revenue into GAAP net income ($13.3 billion on $63.3 billion) versus Huawei's roughly 7.7% net margin (~$9.45 billion (CNY 68.0 billion) on ~$122 billion (CNY 880.9 billion)). Cisco is publicly traded on Nasdaq with a market cap near $421 billion as of September 25, 2026, while Huawei is privately held by its employees and discloses no share price. Cisco dominates enterprise and carrier networking in the U.S. and allied markets; Huawei leads in China and much of the developing world but is barred from 5G networks in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Sweden.
Huawei vs Xiaomi
Huawei is far bigger than Xiaomi by revenue and profit: ~$122 billion (CNY 880.9 billion) versus ~$63.6 billion (RMB457.3 billion) in 2025 (the same currency, Chinese yuan), and ~$9.45 billion (CNY 68.0 billion) versus ~$5.78 billion (RMB41.6 billion) in net profit. In China's smartphone market, Huawei was the No. 1 vendor with about 23% sell-in share in Q2 2026, according to data cited by 36Kr, while Xiaomi had slipped to roughly 12%, around sixth place among major Chinese brands. Huawei stays private with no market value; Xiaomi trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as ticker 1810 and runs its own EV business (SU7, YU7), while Huawei only supplies car technology to partner brands rather than selling vehicles itself.

Editorial Methodology
We use company filings, annual reports, company statements and press reports, with primary sources preferred where available. Each financial row shows its recorded source. Full-year figures are separated from annualized run-rates, partial periods and forecasts; unaudited figures carry a label. Source detail varies by company, so check the linked material when the reporting basis matters.
Public companies may provide filings and annual reports. Private-company figures may come from statements or press coverage. A missing figure stays missing, and a source link should identify where its number came from.
We organize company records and review claims for strategic context, source quality and clarity. Pages show a review date where one is recorded.
Technical checks flag inconsistent figures and missing links. Editorial review of the underlying source remains necessary for claims those checks cannot verify.
