Core Viewpoint - The demand for electric vehicles remains a key growth driver for China's power semiconductor companies in Q3 2025, despite uncertainties in consumer demand and stable industrial demand [1][2]. Demand by Application Area - **Automotive Sector**: Optimism persists regarding unit demand for electric vehicles in China, expected to grow over 20% year-on-year in 2025, with positive growth anticipated in the automotive business for the second half of 2025 [1]. - **Industrial Sector**: Industrial shipments saw good growth in Q2 2025, primarily due to seasonal factors and potential pre-purchasing, but Q3 2025 industrial orders are expected to remain flat with no significant growth or decline [1]. - **Consumer Sector**: Consumer demand is showing signs of decline or uncertainty due to tightened appliance purchase subsidies in some regions and a lack of growth momentum after subsidies have been distributed [1]. Industry Profitability - Leading silicon-based power semiconductor companies, such as StarPower and United Nova, are expected to maintain stable or slightly improved gross margins in Q2 2025, with robust capacity utilization [2]. - Despite stable capacity utilization, most companies are unable to directly increase wafer prices due to industry competition [2]. - There is uncertainty regarding market demand and profit margins for Q4 2025, with price pressures on silicon carbide (SiC) materials and devices expected to remain significant [2]. Stock Impact - The companies covered, including SICC, StarPower, NCE Power, and United Nova, maintain a neutral rating, with no identified turning points for price increases, leading to a cautious outlook [2]. - Investor focus remains on whether the industry will experience meaningful price increases or recoveries in the future [2].
