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.

Yandong Micro: insider buying vs. widening first-half loss

  • Controlling shareholder's ally to buy 150–300 million yuan of stock A party acting with the controlling shareholder plans to buy 150–300 million yuan of shares over 12 months, and on August 4 made a first purchase of 170,000 shares (8.59 million yuan). Insider buying signals the owners see long-term value, which supports the share price.

    This is the main positive force behind the stock this period.

  • First-half loss widened to 435 million yuan The 2026 interim report showed revenue up 48.5% to 979 million yuan, but the net loss widened to 435 million yuan from a profit last year, with operating cash flow negative 224 million yuan. A bigger loss and cash burn weigh on the stock.

    This is the main negative force and the key counterweight to the insider buying.

  • Revenue growth and 12-inch/silicon photonics progress, but weak margins Revenue rose for a second straight year and the company says its 12-inch chip line and silicon photonics business are advancing. But gross margin was only 6.54%, so the growth is not yet translating into profit — a mixed signal for the stock.

    It explains the business progress that could eventually justify the valuation, while showing why profits lag.
