SMIC Still Faces Gross Margin Pressure in 4Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
11/17

0340 GMT - SMIC's still faces lingering gross margin pressure in 4Q, Citi analysts say in a research note. SMIC guided muted 4Q gross profit margin at 18%-20%. The analysts think that its high depreciation cost from expanding capacity will continue to pressure its gross margin outlook. Meanwhile, with memory chip pricing surging recently, SMIC said it may hurt customers' budget allocation to non-memory components, which would lead to some pricing pressure. The chip maker could also face some yield rate issues when ramping up more advanced technology, they add. Citi maintains a neutral rating on SMIC with its H-share target price unchanged at HK$53.00. Shares were last at HK$74.50. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
