On August 5, SMIC rose 3.22% in regular trading, trading at HK$67.1/share, with turnover of HK$481 million. The stock extended gains from the prior session as global semiconductor equipment cycle tailwinds continued to support the wafer foundry sector.
On the news front, multiple data points confirmed the global semiconductor equipment upcycle. SEMI forecasts global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales will reach a record US$165.9 billion, up 23.2% year-over-year. TSMC raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance to US$60-64 billion, an increase of approximately US$8 billion or 15% from prior guidance. ASML reported results that beat market expectations across the board. Additionally, global semiconductor equipment components are experiencing a rare full-chain price surge, reinforcing a volume-and-price growth thesis for the industry.
Within the Semiconductors sector, peers also traded firmly, with HUA HONG GRACE up 4.15%, GIGADEVICE up 3.78%, and MONTAGE TECH up 2.82%, reflecting broad-based sector strength.
