International investment banks unanimously bullish on Innoscience.

【Answer 1】 2. CLSA: Financially, the company has been operating at a loss over the past several years; however, with growing market demand and expanding production capacity, it is expected to achieve profitability in 2027. In 2023, the company generated RMB 593 million in revenue, projected to reach RMB 8.01 billion by 2028—a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 76%. Its gross margin stood at -61.1% in 2023 but is expected to improve to 48% by 2028. Operating expense ratios will also gradually decline as economies of scale take effect. The company holds a leading position in the gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductor market, where demand is surging rapidly amid growth in electric vehicles (EVs), AI servers, and renewable energy sectors. CLSA assigns the company an 'Outperform' rating. (Source: Reuters, cn.tradingview.com/news..., Date: April 28, 2025) 3. China Merchants Securities: Benefiting from rising GaN application penetration and market expansion, the company’s revenue grew from RMB 68 million in 2021 to RMB 828 million in 2024, and is projected to reach RMB 3.098 billion by 2027—representing a CAGR of 55.2% between 2024 and 2027. As business growth delivers economies of scale, Innoscience’s gross margin and net profit margin are expected to improve progressively: gross margin is forecast to turn positive in 2025, and net profit margin in 2027. Based on a 30x P/E multiple for 2030 (the five-year industry average), a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12.0%, and an RMB/HKD exchange rate of 1.07, the company is assigned a 'Buy' rating. (Source: Reuters, cn.tradingview.com/news..., Date: April 28, 2025) II. Platinum Tech (300811): Trading rationale: 1. Dongzi Securities: Within the past 10 days, four institutions have issued ratings on this stock—two 'Buy' and two 'Recommended'; the average target price over the past 10 days is RMB 52, representing a 30% premium over the current share price. According to Dongzi Securities’ big-data analytics, the stock has seen three consecutive days of net institutional buying. (Date: April 28, 2025) 2. AVIC Securities: The company’s core business—metal powder core—serves the new-energy sector. By strategically extending upstream into inductors for AI computing chips, it has forged business partnerships with globally leading GPU chipmakers, further cementing its status as an 'expert in metallic soft magnetic materials and applications.' A second growth curve has clearly emerged, positioning the company to fully capture the high-growth dividends of the AI era. We project the company’s revenues for 2025–2027 at RMB 2.08/2.54/3.05 billion, representing year-on-year growth of 25.1%/21.9%/20.5%; and net attributable profits at RMB 451/558/684 million, up 20.1%/23.7%/22.6% YoY, corresponding to P/E multiples of 26x/21x/17x.

Mid-Year Report X-Ray: Who Is Actually Capturing the Profits Along the AI Power Supply Chain?

【Answer 2】 First reconciliation: Net profit attributable to shareholders vs. non-recurring net profit. Dongwei Semiconductor’s net profit attributable to shareholders surged 285%, yet its non-recurring net profit was merely RMB 689,000—a 92.9% decline—indicating its core operations are unprofitable. Silan Microelectronics posted a 94.8% rise in net profit attributable to shareholders, but its non-recurring net profit grew only 0.67%; the gap stems largely from RMB 230 million in fair-value gains. Kehua Data’s net profit attributable to shareholders rose 62.7%, including RMB 185 million from equity disposal gains; its non-recurring net profit growth was just 8.4%. GigaDevice reported RMB 6.857 billion in net profit attributable to shareholders versus RMB 4.883 billion in non-recurring net profit—a nearly RMB 2 billion gap. Relying solely on headline growth rates can be highly misleading. Second reconciliation: Net profit vs. operating cash flow. Zhongji Xun Chuang’s conversion rate stands at 13%; Zhongheng Electric’s is -489%; Zhiguang Electric’s is -1,335%; and Accelink’s is -212%. Behind these figures lies one common reality: industry prosperity has reached the income statement—but not yet the cash-flow statement. The pattern is clear: upstream, standardized, oligopolistic segments exhibit higher cash conversion—Faratronic (142%), Jianghai (103%), Longsys (66.5%), and TFC (83%). Downstream segments—such as complete systems, modules, and inventory buildup for new architectures—entail heavier working-capital requirements. Of course, negative operating cash flow should not automatically be viewed as bearish. One must distinguish between healthy inventory buildup and unhealthy receivables accumulation: Jinkuo’s RMB 10.7 billion in backlog and TFC’s high order density justify its inventory buildup as 'cash exchanged for future revenue'; whereas Accelink and Invecas—whose receivables swell without commensurate order support—exhibit the kind of working-capital strain that warrants caution. Days sales outstanding (DSO) and the contract liabilities-to-revenue recognition ratio in Q3 reports are key metrics for distinguishing the two. Power Semiconductors: The Floor of Price Wars and the Slope of New Materials Power semiconductors occupy the most nuanced cyclical position across the factory layer. On the IGBT front, StarPower Semiconductor’s non-recurring net profit fell 82.3% and its gross margin dropped nine percentage points—clear evidence of a collapsing earnings base amid intense price competition. Yet its Q2 non-recurring net profit rebounded 74.8% sequentially, signaling early stabilization. Looking back at the 2023 automotive-grade IGBT price war, industry leaders took roughly four quarters to regain footing via industrial control and new-product launches; full consolidation typically takes two to three quarters—so while marginal improvement is trackable, declaring a full turnaround remains premature. Within the same segment, Yangjie Technology achieved 30.7% revenue growth, 29.6% non-recurring net profit growth, and a 35.7% gross margin; Xinda Technology posted 88.3% non-recurring net profit growth and a 32.6% net margin—demonstrating that companies with clean financial statements can still deliver genuine growth even amid cycles. SiC and GaN present a different picture: inflection points are underway, but profitability has yet to arrive. Tianyue Advanced’s gross margin climbed steeply—from 13% to 19% to 25.4%—and its Q2 standalone results approached breakeven, though it still posted a RMB 59 million loss for H1. Innoscience’s revenue rose 50.6%, gross profit surged 156%, and operating cash flow turned positive for the first time in history—reaching RMB 169 million—yet it still incurred a RMB 309 million loss. Rising gross margins and positive operating cash flow confirm the upward trajectory; profitability awaits full realization of economies of scale. Narrative Volume vs. Earnings Substance After reviewing over forty mid-year reports, one pattern recurs: this quarter, narrative volume and earnings delivery show a negative correlation. Companies holding press conferences touting SST, 800V systems, or liquid cooling mostly delivered zero execution—or revenue growth without profit growth—in their mid-year reports. Meanwhile, quiet players in film capacitors, protection devices, and upstream optical components let their financials speak for themselves.
