Guojin Securities points out that the surge in demand for AI computing power is driving better-than-expected performance across the industry chain, with capacity lock-ins for key materials potentially becoming the norm. The performance exceeding expectations for several companies in the AI industry chain, the rapid iteration of Google's TPU, the explosive revenue growth of Anthropic, TSMC's accelerated expansion of advanced process capacity for AI chips, CSP manufacturers securing long-term storage capacity agreements, and rising GPU rental prices all indicate robust short-term and medium-term demand for AI. It is projected that the number of ASICs from Google, Amazon, Meta, Open AI, and Microsoft will experience explosive growth from 2026 to 2027. Currently, several AI-PCB companies are reporting strong order books, operating at full capacity with full sales, and are actively expanding production. High growth in performance is expected to continue. The outlook is positive for PCBs, core computing hardware, semiconductor equipment, and the Apple supply chain.
Looking ahead, CITIC Securities is optimistic that "price increases + AI + independent controllability" could become a strong, year-long theme for the electronics sector. The industry's positive momentum is expected to continue, with AI remaining the primary driver, supported by the simultaneous growth of overseas and domestic computing power, and the potential acceleration of advanced logic/memory capacity expansion. The firm maintains a positive outlook on the overall future performance of the electronics sector, recommending four main investment lines: the domestic computing power chain, the semiconductor equipment chain, the overseas computing power chain, and the overall recovery of consumer electronics.
