Summary of the Conference Call for Jing Sheng Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd. Industry and Company Overview - The conference call focused on Jing Sheng Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd., particularly its developments in the semiconductor and photovoltaic (PV) equipment sectors [2][4][9]. Key Points and Arguments Semiconductor Equipment Orders - Jing Sheng has semiconductor equipment orders amounting to approximately 3.7 billion yuan, primarily concentrated in the silicon wafer sector [2][4]. - The company has successfully transitioned from 8-inch to 12-inch silicon wafer equipment, resulting in a significant increase in order volume [2][4]. - The company is actively expanding into silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxy and wafer manufacturing, achieving breakthroughs in 12-inch wafer epitaxy equipment, with some customers already validating the technology [2][5]. Silicon Carbide Industry Dynamics - The SiC industry is experiencing positive changes after intense competition, with improved supply-demand relationships and increased technical barriers due to national regulations limiting new capacity expansion [2][6]. - New power applications, including AI, electricity demand, IDC storage, and overseas grid upgrades, are creating market opportunities that will further drive the SiC industry [2][6][11]. Photovoltaic Sector Developments - Jing Sheng has a comprehensive layout in the PV sector, covering long furnaces, cutting equipment, and automation for battery and module production [2][7]. - The company is innovating and iterating products to continuously increase market share, benefiting from the ongoing global energy transition that is driving demand in the PV industry [2][8]. Future Growth Projections - Starting in 2026, semiconductor equipment orders are expected to increase significantly, with the PV sector also poised for market share expansion [2][9]. - The company anticipates a rapid growth phase as its technologies mature and achieve mass production [9]. Silicon Carbide Applications - SiC devices are rapidly replacing IGBTs in new energy vehicles and charging stations due to their energy efficiency [10]. - The cost of SiC substrates and devices has decreased significantly, with the price difference between SiC and silicon-based devices narrowing to below 2 times, enhancing acceptance in the IDC sector [10]. Market Potential for Silicon Carbide - Demand for SiC in IDC and grid storage is expected to exceed that of the new energy vehicle market by 1-2 times in the coming years [11]. - Emerging applications in AR glasses and advanced semiconductor packaging present significant growth potential for SiC materials [11]. Current Status of Photovoltaic Business - Jing Sheng's PV business is currently in a bottoming phase, with industry overcapacity leading to reduced profitability and new order declines [13]. - However, the industry capital expenditure has stabilized, and the company expects its PV equipment performance to bottom out in 2026 [13][14]. New Growth Points - The company is focusing on TOPCon retrofitting equipment and silver reduction technologies, which are expected to be key capital expenditure areas in 2026 [14]. - The market share in PV materials has increased from 40% to over 50%, indicating a positive shift in the industry supply-demand landscape [14]. Other Important Insights - The SiC industry is consolidating, with smaller players struggling to compete, while established companies are solidifying their market positions [6]. - The transition to advanced packaging using SiC is driven by the increasing power requirements of GPUs, necessitating effective thermal management solutions [12].
