智通财经APP获悉，东吴证券发布研报称，AIAgent落地速度正逐渐加速，其带来的沙箱创建、负载卸 载等需求有望大幅拉动CPU的需求。但同时，全球算力供应链产能紧张，多个环节涨价，使得CPU制造 成本增加。两方面影响下，该行认为CPU产业有望迎来大周期。 东吴证券主要观点如下： 风险提示：Agent落地进展不及预期；产能供应问题缓解。 DRAM生产转向HBM，消耗更多晶圆；与NAND需求攀升、交货期延长，库存告急，挤占CPU晶圆材 料供给。CPU部件PCB应用及加工材质的转变，使得钻针使用寿命缩短，消耗量暴增；CCL采用的树脂 体系、玻纤布与铜箔匹配复杂，新进入者良率提升缓慢与客户认证周期长，导致有效产能释放缓慢；二 者纷纷涨价，带动CPU价格上涨。 AI推理和Agent发展迅速，拉动高端多核CPU需求 CPU负载正从"人类节奏"转向"机器节奏"。Agentic AI远不是单次推理，而是动态推理+多步决策+外部 工具调用的循环，这比传统大模型调用更耗资源、负载更复杂、成本更高。这种资源调用增长，加之为 了安全防范而产生的高频沙箱隔离开销，使得CPU资源消耗呈现指数级放大。Deepseek提出Engram模 块 ...

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The global semiconductor industry is expected to approach $1 trillion by 2026, with significant growth in the storage sector. The hardware segment is projected to outperform the software segment, with raw materials, storage, and semiconductor equipment showing strong performance, while consumer electronics brands are expected to be the most affected, with Apple being relatively less impacted [1][4]. Smartphone Market - Global smartphone shipments are forecasted to decline by 6.7% in 2026, with Apple and Samsung remaining stable, while Chinese brands are expected to drop by 14% due to storage shortages affecting brands like Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo [1][9]. Capital Expenditure Trends - Microsoft and Meta are projected to increase their capital expenditures significantly in 2026, with Meta's spending rising from $70 billion to $120 billion, and Microsoft also showing over 40% growth. However, internet companies are only expected to see a 15% revenue increase, leading to tighter cash flows [1][10]. ASML and Equipment Market - ASML reported a record high in EUV order revenue, with over 100% year-on-year growth, driven by major clients like TSMC and storage manufacturers concerned about supply shortages [1][11]. Lam Research predicts a WFE market growth of over 20% in 2026, significantly higher than the 10% forecast by SEMI, driven by TSMC's 2nm transition and DRAM manufacturers' shift from HBM3 to HBM4 [1][13]. Company-Specific Insights - **Apple**: The company reported strong performance with iPhone 17 demand exceeding supply, and a 23% quarter-on-quarter revenue increase. However, concerns remain regarding storage shortages and SOC supply issues, which may impact margins [2][8]. - **Samsung**: The company saw a significant improvement in operating profit, with a rise from 14% to 21%. The semiconductor division's profit doubled to 16 trillion KRW, primarily due to DRAM and NAND price increases [1][17]. - **Hynix**: The company is expected to launch a new storage product, HBF, in late 2026, which will enhance AI inference capabilities. Hynix has a leading advantage in HBM technology [1][3][18]. - **Intel**: The target price for Intel has been raised to $71.5 based on significant advancements in process technology and successful execution of the IDM 2.0 strategy, attracting investments from both government and private sectors [1][23]. Market Valuation Changes - The valuation method for the storage industry has shifted from PB to PE, reflecting market recognition of stable profitability and growth potential for companies like Micron and Hynix. Hynix is currently valued at 9.4 times PE, with its target price raised based on strong financial performance [1][19]. HBM Technology Impact - The development of HBM technology is significantly impacting the storage market, enhancing performance and addressing heat issues. Samsung is leading in HBM4 technology, while Micron is also advancing its HBM4E plans to meet future demand [1][20]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The global DRAM market is dominated by Micron, Samsung, and Hynix, with limited new capacity expansion expected, leading to a tight supply situation. The NAND market is similarly constrained, with major players controlling pricing and capacity [1][21]. Investment Recommendations - Hynix is identified as a preferred investment target due to its technological advantages, particularly in HBM technology, while Micron is also performing well but is slightly less favorable in comparison [1][22]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights and projections from the conference call records, providing a comprehensive overview of the semiconductor industry and key players.
