<Research>G Sachs Lifts SMIC (00981.HK) TP to $33.4 as Rev./ Margin to Continue to Recover

2024/12/24

Goldman Sachs was optimistic about SMIC (00981.HK)'s revenue outlook, driven by healthier inventory level and localization trend, according to Goldman Sachs' research report.

Goldman Sachs remained bullish on SMIC as the foundry leader in China due to its customers' growing demand for localized production.

However, continuous capacity expansion, increasing supply of mature nodes output, intensifying competition and geopolitical risks remain valuation concerns and uncertainties.

End demand in the industrial and auto segments, is expected to weaken in 2H24 amid fierce competition, but the broker thought it should recover gradually as inventory digestion completes.

While Goldman Sachs was optimistic about SMIC's sales growth, ASP growth is likely to remain modest due to increasing supply of mature nodes output in China.

Overall, the broker estimated SMIC's gross profit margin to recover gradually, and lifted its target price on SMIC's H-shares from $29.2 to $33.4, with rating kept at Neutral.

<Research>Jefferies Lifts SMIC (00981.HK) TP to $27, Rates Hold

2024/11/11

As SMIC (00981.HK);s average selling price of products grew on better product mix and higher capacity utilization, its 3Q GM logged a QoQ growth of 6.5 ppts to beat expectations, Jefferies wrote in its research report.

Meanwhile, the company's revenue swelled to US$2.17 billion, largely in line with expectations.

During the period, SMIC's net profit soared 58% YoY to US$149 million, which was 25% and 17% lower than the market's and the broker's expectations.

The broker attributed this to the greater-than-expected impact of non-controlling interests.

Although a series of supportive policies introduced by China and the positive sentiment in the market towards further increasing the localization rate of wafer foundry production have driven SMIC's recent stock price rally, the broker reminded investors to pay attention to long-term equity returns as the risk of industry oversupply still exists.

The broker kept a Hold rating on SMIC, with a TP for its H-shares raised from $18 to $27.
