Summary of the Conference Call for XingSen Technology Company Overview - XingSen Technology specializes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) sector, known for its multi-variety and rapid delivery capabilities, leading in prototype and small-batch production. The company is gradually expanding into mass production through its Yixing Silicon Valley factory and the acquisition of the Yibin factory [2][3] - The company also provides semiconductor-related services, including packaging substrates and semiconductor test boards, covering various processes from military testing to pre- and post-packaging solutions [2][3] Financial Performance - Over the past five years, the company's revenue has consistently grown from approximately 4 billion yuan in 2020 to 5.8 billion yuan in 2024, despite a downturn in market demand in 2022 and 2023 [6] - In the first half of 2025, revenue reached about 3.4 billion yuan, representing an 18.9% year-on-year increase. However, profits have declined due to investments in the FCBGA substrate project and overall industry downturn, with a projected loss in 2024 [6] - The company expects to return to profitability in the first half of 2025, but full-year results will still be impacted by costs associated with the FCBGA project [6] Key Business Segments - IC Substrate: This is a crucial and promising segment for the company, characterized by high density, precision, performance, miniaturization, and thinness. It serves as an essential component for chip support and thermal management [7][8] - IT Substrate Market: The IT substrate market is projected to reach $13.5 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2024 to 2029. The demand for ABF substrates is expected to surge due to rapid growth in AI applications [4][11] Market Dynamics - The IT substrate industry is highly concentrated, with the top ten companies holding about 80% of the market share. The high-end market is primarily dominated by Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese firms, with low domestic production rates [10] - The industry faces significant barriers, including technological, financial, and customer-related challenges, making it difficult for new entrants [9][10] Future Trends - The PCB industry is expected to grow significantly, driven by AI, with global PCB output projected to increase from $73.5 billion in 2024 to approximately $95 billion by 2029, reflecting a CAGR of 5.2% [14] - The demand for high-performance chips, particularly in AI, 5G, cloud services, and IoT, is anticipated to drive the growth of ABF substrates [12][13] Strategic Developments - XingSen Technology has invested over 3.8 billion yuan in the ABF substrate sector and is prepared for mass production of the FCBGA packaging substrate, having received certification from Samsung for storage IC substrates [4][19][20] - The acquisition of Beijing XingFei has enhanced the company's PCB capabilities, focusing on high-density PCBs and positioning the company to capitalize on opportunities in the AI server and high-end optical module markets [21] Profitability Forecast - Revenue projections for XingSen Technology from 2025 to 2027 are estimated at 7.17 billion, 8.72 billion, and 11.008 billion yuan, with net profits of 113 million, 300 million, and 700 million yuan respectively. The company maintains a buy rating due to its leading position in the FCBGA market and strategic AI investments [22]
