宏芯宇港股IPO：汇率“双标”涉嫌夸大市场地位 存货臃肿举债度日 经营性现金流与净利润不匹配

Core Viewpoint - Shenzhen Hongxin Yu Electronics Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hongxin Yu" or "the company") has submitted an IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but its financial performance shows significant volatility, with stagnant revenue in 2024 and a "growth without profit" scenario in the first three quarters of 2025 [1][14]. Financial Performance - Hongxin Yu's revenue for 2023, 2024, and the first three quarters of 2025 was 87.81 billion, 87.18 billion, and 77.44 billion RMB respectively, while net profits were -1.17 billion, 4.83 billion, and 3.51 billion RMB [19]. - In the first three quarters of 2025, despite a year-on-year revenue increase of 14.59%, net profit decreased by 54.55%, primarily due to a decline in gross margin [19][20]. Market Strategy - To expand sales, Hongxin Yu adopted a price-for-volume strategy, resulting in a significant reduction in both net profit and gross margin, with gross margin dropping to 13.1% in the first three quarters of 2025, a decrease of 10.6 percentage points [5][20]. - The company’s core product, embedded storage, saw its gross margin plummet from 28.3% to 6.1%, a decline of 22.2 percentage points, with gross profit decreasing by 82.98% [20]. Inventory and Cash Flow Issues - As of September 30, 2025, Hongxin Yu's inventory and accounts receivable accounted for nearly 90% of current assets, indicating a mismatch between operating cash flow and net profit [1][10]. - The company’s inventory increased from 25.48 billion RMB at the end of 2022 to 51.47 billion RMB by September 2025, while accounts receivable rose from 17.05 billion RMB to 20.54 billion RMB during the same period [10][24]. Customer Concentration - Hongxin Yu's customer concentration is high, with major clients accounting for 59.4%, 65.7%, and 50.0% of revenue in recent years. A new client, referred to as Client G, significantly increased its purchases, becoming the second-largest customer by the first three quarters of 2025 [23]. Market Position and Competition - Hongxin Yu ranks as the fifth largest independent memory manufacturer globally, but the revenue gap with leading companies remains substantial. For instance, Company B (presumably Jiangbolong) reported 2024 revenue of 174.64 billion RMB, approximately 2.6 times that of Hongxin Yu [17][18]. - The company has been accused of using different exchange rates to present its revenue figures, potentially exaggerating its market position [18]. Regulatory Concerns - Recent communications from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange raised concerns about the quality and completeness of IPO submissions, indicating potential compliance risks for Hongxin Yu [18].
