Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [7] Core Insights - Since 2025, the technology sector has seen price increases in various segments of computing power resources, recently spreading to the midstream cloud computing sector in overseas markets. The demand for AI, coupled with tight capacity in core segments, has shifted industry pricing towards "supply-demand pricing + value reassessment." Some segments are still in the early stages of price increases, which are expected to gradually transmit to the domestic market, suggesting investment opportunities in domestic computing power resources [2][5] Summary by Relevant Sections - **Price Trends**: Since the second half of 2025, there has been a significant upward trend in prices for storage and other computing power resources. For instance, memory prices surged by 171.8% year-on-year in Q3 2025, with expectations of further increases of 40% to 50% in Q1 2026 and around 20% in Q2 2026. Major companies like Samsung have raised NAND flash contract prices by over 100% starting January 2026 [10][13] - **Market Dynamics**: The AI demand is robust, and the competition among tech giants for computing power resources is intensifying. For example, Meta's capital expenditure for 2026 is projected to reach $135 billion, significantly exceeding Wall Street's expectations. This surge in AI-related demand is creating a substantial supply-demand gap, particularly in storage chips, which is expected to lead to further price increases across various segments [10][13] - **Investment Recommendations**: The report recommends focusing on key domestic leaders in computing power resources, including AI chips (e.g., Haiguang Information, Cambricon), CPUs (e.g., Haiguang Information), and cloud service providers (e.g., Kingsoft Cloud, Capital Online). Additionally, it suggests monitoring other quality stocks with strong fundamentals and high correlation within the industry chain [5][10]
