CHINESE smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc has told bankers it would top its annual revenue target by as much as 18 per cent, sources with knowledge of the matter said, marking a comeback from a sales slump in recent years that triggered a business overhaul.
Xiaomi, which has been hearing bank pitches for what could be the world's biggest tech float next year, will rake in a net profit of at least US$1 billion in 2017, banker projections based on the company's revenue estimate of US$17 billion to US$18 billion show.
