0805 GMT - Macquarie analysts prefer Chinese semiconductor companies with significant exposure to the memory sector. They view memory as the main supply-chain bottleneck in 2026--and the biggest beneficiary of price hikes. Meanwhile, China continues to push for locally made semiconductors amid U.S. export controls, led especially by memory-chip makers CXMT and YMTC, with the former in the process of listing in Shanghai. The analysts favor Chinese chip-gear maker Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment, which has a more than 60% exposure to memory clients through its supply of etching and deposition tools to major fabrication plants.
