Goldman Sachs released a report stating that the management of SMIC is optimistic about China's semiconductor capital expenditure, believing that the migration of non-foundry technology will drive the development of this cycle. It is expected that advanced logic and memory will become the main drivers of capital expenditure growth, with the supply chain increasing investment to narrow the gap with overseas companies. Goldman Sachs maintains a positive outlook on SMIC, with a target price of 134 yuan and a rating of "Buy."

China's leading chipmakers are ramping up production of advanced semiconductors to meet rising domestic AI demand, despite U.S. export restrictions. Companies like SMIC and Huawei-linked firms are focusing on 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer chip technology. The initiative aims to increase output from under 20,000 to 100,000 wafers in one to two years, with a long-term goal of 500,000 by 2030. However, U.S. restrictions on advanced chipmaking equipment pose challenges. The report highlights escalating U.S.-China tech tensions and concerns over Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain.

- China's leading chipmakers are increasing advanced semiconductor production to meet AI demand, despite U.S. export restrictions.

DBS Group Research has lowered the target price for SMIC to 87.4 yuan, maintaining a "Buy" rating. As China's leading 7nm wafer foundry, SMIC benefits from the localization of its supply chain. Short-term profit margins are affected by depreciation, expected to remain in the teens to twenties percentage range. Potential upside comes from improvements in yield and utilization of new capacity, rather than product price increases. Earnings forecasts for 2026 and 2027 have been lowered by 10% and 12%, respectively

CICC maintains SMIC's "outperform industry" rating, stating in its report that the company's performance in the fourth quarter of last year met expectations, with H-share revenue of USD 2.489 billion and a gross margin of 19.2%. It is expected that revenue will reach USD 9.327 billion in 2025, with a gross margin of 21%. The company guides that the revenue growth in 2026 will exceed the industry average, but due to pressure from consumer electronics demand, it has lowered its revenue/profit expectations for 2026 by 3%/7%. The target price for A-shares is maintained at RMB 150, and the target price for H-shares is maintained at HKD 100

SMIC 4Q25 First Take: headline was mixed — revenue met expectations, but GPM underwhelmed. On the margin bridge, ASP rose by $37/wafer QoQ while unit cost increased by $56/wafer, driving GPM compression. While the company has pushed advanced nodes to a 7nm‑equivalent, lower yield continues to weigh on margins. Guidance matters more than the print, and the outlook remains muted. Management guides flat QoQ revenue vs. the Street at +3%, and GPM at 18–20% vs. the Street at 21%, implying continued margin pressure. Despite AI semis staying hot, results remain soft, largely due to a sluggish traditional semi market. Management is still cautious on the legacy demand recovery. Given SMIC’s unique positioning, valuation is not fully tethered to near‑term fundamentals. The company sits in the foundry industry’s second tier but is working to close the gap with TSMC, which keeps optionality and expectations alive.

🔥 Market Buzz: The AI Spending Race & Musk's Moon Shot | Tue, Feb 10, 2026

I was amazed by the 100-year bond. I know this is not the first time since 1990s. Many people may not see the long-term risks, such as the business will remain relevant far into the future. While the risk may seem low, technological disruption or obsolescence over such a long horizon can never be ruled out.

Because the AI bubble is too big now, and the stock index has exceeded expectations.

All the AI companies are getting downgraded! Even for the big tech, this is a warning sign of what's to come!

Taking debt to fund the AI spending spree sounds alot like the dot com bubble!
