Productive Technology (00650) saw its shares rise more than 10% during morning trading. At the time of writing, the stock was up 9.21%, trading at HK$0.415, with a turnover of HK$8.1934 million.
The increase follows reports that Wuhan Yangtze Memory Technologies achieved first-quarter revenue exceeding RMB 20 billion, representing a doubling in growth compared to the same period last year. Against a backdrop of persistent global supply-demand tightness in the memory market and surging demand for high-end memory driven by AI servers, Yangtze Memory is advancing what has been described as an "epic expansion plan." The company is constructing two additional wafer fabs on top of its existing new facility. Once fully operational, total production capacity is expected to more than double, with a single fab potentially reaching a monthly output of 100,000 wafers. Construction of the new plants has already been completed.
Huaxin Securities released a research note stating that fab operators, represented by companies like SMIC and Huahong Semiconductor, and memory manufacturers, such as Yangtze Memory and ChangXin Memory Technologies, are currently in an expansion cycle. This, combined with a sharp increase in process steps for advanced manufacturing nodes, is directly driving up both the quantity and value of demand for cleaning equipment. The note highlighted that Productive Technology has transformed into a high-tech manufacturer achieving breakthroughs in domestic production of high-end processes within the semiconductor wet cleaning equipment sector.
