The semiconductor industry chain saw a surge, with stocks like Tianyue Advanced and Tongfu Microelectronics hitting the daily limit. The robotics sector also performed well, with companies such as Wuzhou Xinchun and Fangzheng Electric reaching their daily limit. In contrast, AI application stocks collectively adjusted, with companies like Yili Media and Vision China hitting the daily limit down. Overall, around 3,000 stocks in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets declined, with a total transaction volume of 3.06 trillion yuan [1]. Key Sectors Semiconductor Sector - The domestic semiconductor sector experienced a significant increase, with stocks like Shenghui Integrated, Kangqiang Electronics, and Jinhai Tong hitting the daily limit. TSMC reported a 35% year-on-year increase in net profit for Q4, reaching a historical high, and is expected to generate revenue between $34.6 billion and $35.8 billion in Q1 2026, a 38% year-on-year growth [4][5]. Smart Grid Sector - The smart grid concept saw a substantial rise, with stocks such as Senyuan Electric and Hancable hitting the daily limit. The State Grid announced that fixed asset investment during the 14th Five-Year Plan period is expected to reach 4 trillion yuan, a 40% increase compared to the previous plan, aimed at accelerating the construction of new power systems and enhancing transmission capacity by over 30% [7][9]. Robotics Sector - The robotics sector showed strong performance, with stocks like Xinquan Co. and Henghui Security hitting the daily limit. OpenAI is reportedly seeking suppliers for robotics and AI devices, indicating a growing demand in this area [12][14]. Investment Insights - Analysts from Kaiyuan Securities noted that TSMC's acceleration in 2nm production and the release of capacity from U.S. wafer fabs indicate a continued strong demand for advanced processes. TSMC plans to raise wafer foundry prices for four consecutive years from 2026 to 2029, highlighting a clear supply-demand imbalance in the industry [6]. - Huaxin Securities pointed out that the semiconductor industry's prosperity is on the rise, with global semiconductor equipment sales expected to reach $133 billion by 2025, with mainland China leading the market. Domestic wafer foundries are seizing recovery opportunities through counter-cyclical expansion, with SMIC's 8-inch wafer monthly capacity reaching 1.023 million pieces [6]. - The smart grid investment is projected to be around 1 trillion yuan annually during the 14th Five-Year Plan, with significant investments expected from both the State Grid and Southern Grid [9][10].
