Summary of the Conference Call for ShenGong Co., Ltd. Industry Overview - The semiconductor industry is experiencing a significant cycle driven by the surge in demand for storage chips, particularly due to AI server requirements. This trend favors companies like ShenGong Co., Ltd., which specializes in semiconductor materials [2][5]. Company Insights - ShenGong Co., Ltd. is a supplier of single crystal silicon materials for integrated circuit etching, holding a 15% market share globally, and is recognized as an "invisible champion" in the industry [4]. - The company's main products include large-size single crystal silicon materials and etching electrodes, which are essential consumables in the chip manufacturing process [4]. Key Points and Arguments - The demand for etching electrodes is significantly higher for storage chips compared to logic chips due to the increased number of layers in storage chips, leading to more etching processes [5]. - Major global storage chip manufacturers, such as SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron, are operating at high utilization rates but have not significantly expanded production. This has resulted in a supply-demand mismatch, creating opportunities for ShenGong Co., Ltd. [2][5]. - The geopolitical landscape and supply chain security considerations may lead Japanese and Korean storage manufacturers to prioritize local suppliers. However, as market conditions improve, local suppliers may face capacity shortages, resulting in overflow orders that could benefit ShenGong Co., Ltd. [2][6][7]. Future Outlook - Key indicators to monitor for assessing ShenGong Co., Ltd.'s development prospects include: 1. The rhythm of storage demand, including price increases, upgrades, and volume growth. 2. The status of overseas order fulfillment. 3. The company's own capacity expansion progress [8]. - The company is projected to achieve revenues of 470 million, 800 million, and 1.31 billion yuan from 2025 to 2027, with corresponding net profits of 110 million, 270 million, and 450 million yuan. The estimated valuations are 78x, 32x, and 19x respectively, leading to a "buy" rating based on hypothetical models that will be adjusted according to actual conditions [9]. Risks to Consider - Key risks associated with investing in ShenGong Co., Ltd. include: 1. Policy outcomes not meeting expectations. 2. Downstream demand falling short of projections. 3. Delays in product development and introduction [3][10].
