Deep News2025-12-30

On the afternoon of December 30, Hong Kong-listed hard tech stocks advanced against the broader market trend, with Maifu Shi and Innoscience rising over 11%, Ubtech gaining over 9%, 4Paradigm increasing over 6%, and SMIC surging more than 4%. The first-ever ETF focused on the "Hong Kong stock chip" industry chain, the Hong Kong Information Technology ETF (159131), oscillated higher in the afternoon session, currently up 1.89% with real-time turnover exceeding 57 million yuan.

On the news front, SMIC's acquisition of shares in its subsidiary SMIC Northern has reached a new milestone. The company plans to issue 547 million shares to five shareholders of SMIC Northern, including the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, to acquire their 49% equity stake. Upon completion of the transaction, SMIC will hold 100% of SMIC Northern, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Concurrently, SMIC Southern, another SMIC entity, entered into a new joint venture contract and a capital increase agreement with multiple investors. According to the agreement, SMIC Southern will receive a total cash injection of $7.778 billion.

Industry insiders believe that following this capital operation by SMIC, domestic chips may usher in development opportunities, particularly for semiconductor equipment and domestic AI infrastructure. This move signals positive prospects for future capital expenditure in related process technologies, while also demonstrating the company's commitment to strengthening control over core manufacturing segments and enhancing the self-sufficiency level of domestic chips.
