On August 6, SMIC fell 3.16% in regular trading, trading at 65.8 HKD/share, with turnover of 766 million HKD. The semiconductor sector broadly weakened, retreating after consecutive sessions of strong gains exceeding 5% driven by global semiconductor equipment cycle confirmation.

On the news front, BOCI recently downgraded SMIC from \"Buy\" to \"Hold\" with target price cut from 98.6 to 80 HKD, citing relatively moderate expansion and pricing momentum compared to peers, and a cautious profit margin trajectory due to advanced node (N+3) yield challenges. The firm noted that ongoing capex and acquisitions continue to weigh on the balance sheet. Meanwhile, SMIC is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on August 13, with consensus expecting revenue of USD 2.816 billion, up 29.18% year-over-year.

Within the Semiconductors sector, HUA HONG GRACE fell 1.84%, GIGADEVICE fell 4.44%, MONTAGE TECH fell 3.70%, ILUVATAR COREX fell 3.47%, BIREN TECH fell 1.06%.
