沐曦上市演绎资本神话，硬科技行情扩散，半导体设备ETF（561980）盘中翻红

Core Viewpoint - The listing of domestic GPU leader Muxi Co., Ltd. has sparked significant market interest, with its stock price surging over 700% and a market capitalization exceeding 340 billion yuan, surpassing another prominent company, Moore Threads. This remarkable performance has ignited a "wealth creation effect" in the hard technology sector. Industry Chain Analysis - Demand Transmission Chain: The success of GPU design companies like Muxi demonstrates the market feasibility and urgent demand for domestic high-end chips, likely leading to a massive demand for wafer manufacturing capacity [1]. - Manufacturing Expansion: To meet the explosive demand for AI computing power, domestic wafer manufacturers are entering a new round of large-scale capital expenditure cycles to expand advanced process capacity. Leading wafer manufacturers, such as SMIC, reported a capacity utilization rate exceeding 100% in their third-quarter reports [1]. - Equipment Segment Benefits: The first step in wafer factory expansion involves purchasing core equipment such as lithography, etching, and thin-film deposition. This equipment procurement is essential and precedes other investments, making semiconductor equipment companies direct beneficiaries in the chip industry [2]. - ETF Investment Opportunity: The semiconductor equipment ETF (561980) tracks the CSI Semiconductor Index, with nearly 60% of its components focused on equipment, materials, design, and manufacturing. This makes it an ideal tool for investing in the domestic substitution efforts in the semiconductor sector [2].
