On June 22, China Molybdenum (03993) rose 3.07% in regular trading, trading at HKD 19.39/share, with turnover of HKD 692 million. The stock showed stabilization after a sharp pullback from recent highs.
On the news front, the molybdenum-replacing-tungsten technology catalyst continues to ferment in the semiconductor industry. SK Hynix has completed production verification of 375-layer NAND flash memory, using molybdenum material to replace traditional tungsten for word lines to reduce resistance and improve read/write speeds. Samsung and Yangtze Memory Technologies are also following suit with validation. Industry estimates project semiconductor-grade molybdenum demand to grow from the current approximately 10 tons to 80 tons by 2030. As one of the world's top seven molybdenum producers with approximately 1.2 million tons of molybdenum equity reserves, China Molybdenum is viewed by the market as a direct beneficiary of expanding molybdenum demand and potential price appreciation. The stock had previously triggered a trading anomaly alert after cumulative gains exceeded 20% over three consecutive trading days, and is now exhibiting a recovery pattern following profit-taking pressure.
