Chinese chip-tool maker AMEC projects nearly quadruple profit amid surging domestic demand

Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment China (AMEC), a leading Chinese chip-tool manufacturer, anticipates a nearly fourfold increase in its first-half profit, reaching up to 2.9 billion yuan (US$400 million).

A substantial portion of the profit growth is attributed to investment and fair-value gains, including the sale of shares in Piotech, though adjusted profits excluding these gains also doubled. AI
