Q3 2026

Nexchip profit falls as backers buy and it refocuses on core chips

  • Major customer keeps buying Nexchip shares Huaqin Technology, a big customer, bought more Nexchip H shares in July, lifting its group stake to about 11%. A large customer putting more money in signals it expects Nexchip to do well, which supports the share price.

    Shows a real, repeated vote of confidence from an industrial backer, a positive force on the stock.

  • First-half profit dropped 26% despite higher sales Nexchip's first-half revenue rose 14.6% to 5.96 billion yuan, but net profit fell 26.1% to 245 million yuan, and core profit fell more. Selling more but keeping less profit means margins are squeezed, a real drag on the stock.

    This is the period's main negative fundamental fact and the clearest counterweight to the bullish news.

  • Shedding non-core unit to sharpen chip focus Nexchip moved its wafer backside grinding and metallization business into Anhui Ruijing, taking a 26.4% stake and dropping it from core operations. Focusing on its main display, sensor, power and logic chip platforms should help it compete better over time.

    A strategic simplification that shapes Nexchip's long-term competitive position, not just a one-day event.

  • Tightening grip on photomask supply Nexchip will inject a 908 million yuan subsidiary into Anhui Jingmei Photomask, raising its direct stake to 32.2%. Photomasks are a key input for making chips, so more control there supports supply security and self-reliance, though shareholders must still approve.

    A supply-chain move that reduces dependence on outside suppliers, a structural positive for the company.

LONGi's H1 loss deepens, but policy and new tech offer hope

  • H1 loss forecast LONGi expects a first-half loss of 3.4–3.8 billion yuan, part of a sector-wide loss exceeding 13 billion yuan. This confirms the industry's severe oversupply and price wars, weighing on the stock.

    Directly explains the company's weak financial performance and negative sentiment.

  • Excise tax on solar cells China will impose a 2% excise tax on solar cells from April 2027, rising to 4% in 2028. The tax aims to curb overproduction and price wars, which could help LONGi by reducing industry oversupply.

    New regulation that could improve industry dynamics and benefit LONGi.

  • Mandatory standards and anti-cutthroat policies Three mandatory national standards for solar products take effect in January 2027, accelerating the exit of outdated capacity. Combined with anti-cutthroat competition policies, this may lead to a policy bottom and market bottom, supporting LONGi's long-term recovery.

    Shows regulatory efforts to rebalance supply and demand, a key driver for LONGi's future profitability.

  • Perovskite investment LONGi plans to invest 203 million yuan in a 100MW perovskite tandem cell pilot line. This next-generation technology could enhance efficiency and open new markets like space photovoltaics, positioning LONGi for future growth.

    Highlights LONGi's innovation and capital allocation to advanced technology, a potential long-term catalyst.
