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

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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). This surge is driven by robust demand for domestic semiconductors and expansion in Chinese memory and advanced-logic fabrication plants, despite ongoing US sanctions. The company's revenue also saw a significant rise of 35% year-on-year. 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

IMPACT Indicates strong investment and capacity expansion in China's domestic semiconductor manufacturing sector, crucial for AI hardware supply chains.
