Market Focus09-14 09:35

On September 14, ILUVATAR COREX fell 3.15% in regular trading, trading at 293.2 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 35.05 million HKD. The stock has now accumulated over 29% in losses over the past month, remaining under sustained pressure.

On the earnings front, the company's interim results showed first-half revenue of RMB 946 million, up 191.6% year-over-year, with adjusted net profit of RMB 246 million marking a turnaround from losses. However, gross margin fell sharply from 50.1% to 17.2%, primarily dragged by below-cost semiconductor component sales and inventory impairment charges. Excluding RMB 760 million in fair value gains from listed equity holdings, the company would still be in a loss position, indicating the core GPU business has yet to generate sufficient profit to cover R&D expenditure of RMB 559 million.

Meanwhile, the broader semiconductor sector extended its decline, with SMIC down 2.38%, HUA HONG GRACE down 3.58%, BIREN TECH down 6.94%, GIGADEVICE down 4.38%, and MONTAGE TECH down 4.26%, amplifying sector-wide selling pressure on ILUVATAR COREX.
