Semiconductor Manufacturing International on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma have been closely following Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) as the company benefits from AI advances and the localization trend in the semiconductor industry. According to David Mudd‘s report “The Heat Is On: News Flow and Sentiment in CHINA / HONG KONG (January 25)”, SMIC shares have been on the rise, with analysts projecting a 23% upside over the next 12 months. The HSTECH index, which includes SMIC, has seen a 6% increase in January, driven by positive market breadth and momentum.

On the other hand, Nicolas Baratte’s report “Foundries. China (Hua Hong, SMIC) Has Outperformed but on Poor Margins & Inventory Risk” takes a more cautious stance, highlighting poor margins and inventory risks faced by Chinese foundries like SMIC. Despite outperforming ex-China counterparts, Chinese foundries are now dealing with inventory issues and diverging end-demand trends. This contrasts with the bullish outlook presented by Patrick Liao in his report “SMIC (981.HK): Keeping a Steady Growth”, where SMIC is forecasted to maintain steady revenue growth and gross margin improvement, focusing on AI and capacity expansion.
