Core Viewpoint - Bawei Storage, a semiconductor memory company, has submitted its IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, aiming to raise funds for self-developed chips, high-performance semiconductor storage solutions, and wafer-level packaging capabilities. Despite benefiting from the AI wave, the company faces profitability challenges in a market dominated by giants like Micron and SK Hynix, with a projected phase of "increased revenue but decreased profit" in the first half of 2025 [1][2][9]. Company Overview - Bawei Storage primarily engages in the research, design, packaging, testing, production, and sales of semiconductor memory, with its main products being semiconductor memory devices [2]. - The company's business segments include embedded storage, consumer-grade storage, and advanced packaging and testing [4][6]. Financial Performance - Since its listing on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, Bawei Storage has experienced a complete cycle of "downturn-recovery-adjustment" in the semiconductor storage industry. From 2022 to 2023, the company saw revenue growth but transitioned from profit to loss [7]. - In 2024, the company is expected to benefit from a rebound in storage prices and AI demand, achieving a strong turnaround with revenue doubling. However, in the first half of 2025, it is projected to face a phase of "increased revenue but decreased profit," with historical high revenue but a return to phase losses [8][9]. - Specific financial data shows that revenue from 2022 to the first half of 2025 is projected to be 2.986 billion, 3.591 billion, 6.695 billion, and 3.912 billion RMB, with net profits of 71 million, -631 million, 135 million, and -241 million RMB respectively [9]. Market Dynamics - The global storage market is expected to grow significantly, driven by AI data centers, with projections indicating an increase from $263.3 billion in 2025 to $407.1 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% [11]. - The server segment is anticipated to grow from $26.8 billion in 2020 to $59.4 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 22.0%, reaching $145.8 billion by 2029 [11]. Industry Structure - The storage product industry chain consists of three segments: upstream wafer and main control chip design and manufacturing, midstream storage product manufacturing, and downstream terminal applications [12]. - Bawei Storage operates as an independent memory manufacturer, focusing on storage solution design, packaging, testing, and large-scale delivery, unlike integrated device manufacturers (IDM) like Micron and SK Hynix, which have pricing power in the industry [14]. Future Outlook - The demand for storage solutions is expected to increase due to the upgrading of storage needs in the AI era, enhancing the value of module manufacturers and solution providers within the industry [16].

2025年下半年以来，全球存储芯片行业迎来一场罕见的普涨行情，进入四季度后涨势愈演愈烈。以主流 的DDR5（DRAM行业成熟工艺制程的最新产品）规格的16Gb颗粒为例，9月底的价格为7.68美元，然 而短短一个月后，价格就跳增至15.5美元，单月涨幅高达102%；DDR4 16Gb的涨幅也超过92%。由于涨 势较快，三星、SK海力士和美光等存储原厂甚至一度暂停报价。 来自上游的密集涨价迅速向下游终端传导，并对以智能手机为代表的消费电子产业造成明显冲击。近 日，有媒体报道称，多家手机厂商已经暂缓本季度的存储芯片采购。 "头部Tier1手机厂商（如小米、OPPO、vivo、荣耀）与原厂都有长期的LTA（长期供货协议），因此不 会出现断货的情况，目前手机厂商面临的压力主要是，短期内存储芯片价格涨幅过于剧烈，譬如四季度 原厂LP4X/5X（低功耗双倍数据速率动态随机存取内存LPDDR的两种技术标准）合约价环比三季度涨 幅达到40%，UFS合约价涨幅达25%至30%。"11月17日CFM闪存市场分析师杨伊婷对《每日经济新闻》 记者说。 杨伊婷指出，手机厂商们能接受的是逐季、温和上涨，而不是在一个季度里跳涨40%。 如何 ...
