Cambricon Technologies Corporation Limited issued a formal statement refuting market rumors after its shares experienced a sharp rally during the afternoon session on December 4.
In the evening of December 4, Cambricon clarified that recent media and online reports regarding its products, clients, supply chain, and production capacity forecasts contained misleading and unverified information. The company emphasized that all material developments are disclosed through official channels and urged investors to verify sources before relying on unconfirmed reports.
Cambricon further warned that it reserves the right to pursue legal action against parties spreading false information.
Earlier in the day, speculation circulated that Cambricon planned to significantly expand production capacity in 2024 to capture market share following Nvidia's reduced presence in China. The rumor triggered a late-session surge, with shares closing up 2.75% at CNY 1,369. Despite an early dip of nearly 3%, the stock rebounded steadily throughout the trading day.
Year-to-date, Cambricon's share price has risen 108%, with its market capitalization reaching CNY 577.3 billion. Bernstein upgraded the stock to "outperform" with a CNY 2,000 target price, citing growth potential in AI-driven demand.
Analysts at First Shanghai Securities highlighted Cambricon's competitive edge in AI training, inference, and specialized applications such as computer vision and speech processing. With accelerating domestic substitution in computing power, Cambricon is well-positioned to capitalize on China's trillion-yuan semiconductor market.
