Fire recovery, buyback, and strategic bets offset a first-half loss

Suzhou plant fully back online after fire Chipmore's Suzhou subsidiary fully resumed production in late July after a January fire, restoring the capacity that had been knocked out. This removes the main drag on revenue and is the first step toward rebuilding earnings, so it supports the stock.
The fire was the key operational setback; its full resolution is the most important new positive for the business.
Buyback plan signals confidence and supports the shares The general manager proposed repurchasing 75–150 million yuan of stock, funded by company cash and a special loan. Buybacks reduce shares outstanding and show management thinks the stock is undervalued, which tends to lift the price.
A concrete capital action that directly supports the share price and signals insider confidence.
First-half loss shows the fire's financial toll Chipmore reported a 303 million yuan net loss for the first half of 2026, versus a profit a year earlier, with revenue down 3.5%. The loss was mostly due to the fire, but it shows how much the disruption hurt earnings and keeps pressure on the stock.
The loss is the clearest evidence of the financial damage and a real counterweight to the recovery story.
US$20 million stake in ESWIN ties it to a key customer Chipmore's subsidiary invested US$20 million in ESWIN Computing's Hong Kong IPO, gaining a 0.46% stake. ESWIN is an important customer in display driver and RISC-V chips, so the move strengthens a key relationship and could bring more packaging business.
A new strategic investment that deepens ties with a major customer and supports future demand.

Changchuan's profit surge and first dividend keep the stock in focus

First-half profit guidance up 139%-167% on tester demand Changchuan expects net profit of 900 million to 1 billion yuan for the first half, up 139%-167%, as sales of digital testers grow strongly. This is the core reason the stock is moving: the company is selling more of its main product into the AI and chip-building boom, and profit is rising fast.
This is the single biggest new fundamental driver of the stock's value.
Semiconductor equipment demand outlook strong, stock jumps 12% Industry group SEMI sees global chip-equipment sales rising 23.2% in 2026 to a record, helped by AI and memory spending. Changchuan rose over 12% in a sector rally. More demand for chip-making tools means more orders for Changchuan's testers, supporting the share price.
It shows the industry backdrop that lifts demand for Changchuan's products.
First-ever interim dividend signals confidence Changchuan announced its first interim cash dividend since listing, joining a wave of A-share companies returning cash to shareholders. A first dividend tells investors the company is confident about its cash flow and earnings, which can attract income-focused buyers and support the stock.
It is a new shareholder-return signal that can draw buyers.
Private placement shares list below issue price, interim profit confirmed New shares from a 3.13 billion yuan private placement listed on August 7 at 280.11 yuan, but the stock traded below that price, a mild negative signal. The August 28 interim report confirmed net profit of 964 million yuan, matching the earlier guidance, so the good news was already priced in.
It gives the counterweight: new share supply and a confirmed, not surprising, result.
