Summary of Conference Call on Power Semiconductor Industry Industry Overview - The conference call focused on the power semiconductor industry, specifically discussing the performance and outlook of Huahong and its various product platforms [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments Pricing and Revenue Trends - Huahong adjusted prices by 5%-8% in May, but the average selling price (ASP) declined in Q2 due to changes in product mix and new capacity at the factory [1][3]. - There is insufficient support for price increases in Q3, making the target of a 10% ASP increase for the year difficult to achieve [1][4]. - The overall order visibility is low, and the company expects to maintain the original ASP increase target, but the probability of achieving it is low [4]. Demand and Capacity Insights - Demand for the BCD process platform has significantly increased, with expected capacity growth by year-end [1][5]. - Major clients like MPs have increased orders, but there are concerns about dependency on single clients and the impact of pricing strategies on orders [1][5][6]. - The NODE platform has stable demand for ETOX, but demand for platforms like Ziguang and Jushen has decreased [1][9]. Product-Specific Developments - ETOX production is expected to increase, with stable demand from MCU and smart card applications [1][13][15]. - The MOSFET product structure is shifting from medium voltage SGT to low voltage products, with a decrease in demand for new energy orders [1][18][19]. - The eFlash total input volume is steadily increasing, with expectations to reach approximately 18-19k units by year-end [1][15]. Client and Order Dynamics - MPs' orders have increased from 14k at the beginning of 2024 to 16k in Q3, with a projected demand of 24k by year-end [6][7]. - Other clients like Nanxing and Aivi have also seen order increases, but overall demand has weakened [8][15]. - The DDIC production has been transferred to the factory, with stable customer demand but short-term design optimization issues affecting orders [30][31]. Future Outlook and Challenges - The company is cautious about future demand, particularly for 2026, with a pessimistic sales forecast [39]. - The overall market sentiment is weak, and there are concerns about the ability to meet ASP targets due to reduced demand and price sensitivity from end customers [36][39]. Additional Important Insights - The transition of production capacity to different product lines is ongoing, with plans to shift some capacity from ETOX to iFlash products [12]. - The company is facing challenges in maintaining production levels for IGBT and other products due to price constraints and customer demand fluctuations [26][27][28]. - The overall semiconductor supply chain, including silicon wafer prices, is stable, with a downward trend in prices noted [34]. This summary encapsulates the key discussions and insights from the conference call, highlighting the current state and future outlook of the power semiconductor industry.
