On July 14, SMIC fell 3.45% in regular trading, trading at HK$75.6/share, with turnover of HK$4.279 billion.

The semiconductor sector came under broad selling pressure as profit-taking emerged following a period of rapid gains. Peers including HUA HONG GRACE fell 6.27%, ILUVATAR COREX dropped 7.75%, and BIREN TECH declined 6.46%. SMIC had previously surged over 14% on July 9 on its A-share listing, with its market capitalization surpassing Kweichow Moutai, followed by another 5%-plus gain on July 13 in Hong Kong, accumulating significant short-term gains.

The correction is primarily attributed to technical profit-taking after concentrated gains. Mid-term catalysts including wafer foundry price hike expectations — with industry leader TSMC planning to raise 3nm process quotes by up to 15% in the second half and mature-node fabs raising supplementary order prices by nearly 20% — and the upcoming World Artificial Intelligence Conference scheduled for July 17-20 in Shanghai remain intact.
