Phichem's controlling shareholder and concert parties cash out about 200 million yuan by reducing 5.68 million shares and terminate the reduction plan early

Nissan Chemical Corporation has approved the establishment of Nissan Chemical Semiconductor materials Zhangjiagang Co., Ltd. in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, China, to manufacture and sell anti-reflective coatings and multilayer materials for semiconductors. The new subsidiary carries registered capital of RMB 210 million, or approximately ¥5.00 billion, with initial funding set for October 15, 2026. The move deepens Nissan Chemical's presence in China's semiconductor supply chain by placing production closer to key local customers and demand centers. The roughly ¥5.00 billion capacity build is a focused addition that supports existing guidance rather than reshaping it in the near term, though it tilts the risk mix toward China-specific factors such as local competition and policy or supply chain disruptions. The company's investment case continues to rest on turning specialty chemicals expertise into steady earnings and disciplined shareholder returns, supported by high returns on equity and an active dividend and buyback program.

Huate Gas said at its 2026 semi-annual results briefing on October 8 that the number of products for which it has achieved import substitution has increased from 22 at the time of its IPO to 57, and that it will focus on commercializing high-end electronic specialty gases such as disilane, hydrogen bromide, and boron trichloride. In response to investor questions about continued share reductions by employee shareholding platforms and senior executives, the company said that the three entities, including Xiamen Huahong Duofu, are all pre-IPO employee shareholding platforms established in 2012, and that the reductions were driven by partners' capital planning needs. There was no cashing out at highs or lack of confidence in the company's development, and block trades with certain discounts were chosen to improve reduction efficiency and reduce the impact on the secondary market. The company said its sales pricing comprehensively considers factors such as product costs, market competition, and customers' gas consumption scale, stability, and credit periods, with pricing characterized by case-by-case negotiation. On the performance front, the 2026 semi-annual report published on August 25 showed operating revenue of 872 million yuan, up 28.95 percent year on year; net profit attributable to the parent company of 92.83 million yuan, up 19.16 percent; non-GAAP net profit attributable to the parent company of 89.94 million yuan, up 19.29 percent; and net operating cash flow of 133 million yuan, up 46.93 percent year on year. In the first half, specialty gas business revenue reached 586.04 million yuan, up 38.56 percent year on year, semiconductor segment revenue reached 342.89 million yuan, up 28.22 percent year on year, and helium and related products accounted for about 20 percent of total operating revenue, with revenue up 133 percent year on year.
