SMIC, Hua Hong Shares Appear Overvalued -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-18

0326 GMT - SMIC and Hua Hong appear overvalued to Morningstar analyst Phelix Lee. The analyst reckons the companies need external help to fund their expansions and smaller local peers will be more aggressive to compete on price in consumer markets. Lee says in a research note that both companies plan to hike prices in the coming quarters as demand for AI noncomputing chips strengthens, and non-AI demand spills over to China. Based on SMIC's 2Q guidance, the analyst thinks it's on track to achieve Morningstar's estimates of $11.2 billion revenue and 22.6% gross margin in 2026 amid product mix improvements in analog and power chips. SMIC's shares are last down 3.1% at 68.90 Hong Kong dollars and Hua Hong is 0.4% lower at HK$115.40. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
