1106 GMT - China's semiconductor industry is expected to benefit from favorable memory market dynamics through 2026, Frank He and Cara Su of HSBC Qianhai Securities say in a note. NAND supply is likely to remain tight due to strict utilization controls by major suppliers. DDR5 DRAM prices could rise further, supported by AI server demand, while the DDR4 chip shortage may persist as major suppliers phase out production, they add. Rising prices and the push for local manufacturing are driving capacity expansion by memory leaders Yangtze Memory Technologies and CXMT, which should benefit domestic supply-chain companies, particularly equipment makers. HSBC's top sector picks are buy-rated GigaDevice, AMEC and Naura. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
