0325 GMT - Investor interest in China's semiconductor industry is growing, Citi analysts say in a note after meeting with Asian investors. Investors are interested in China's AI chip production expansion and progress at China's memory-chip makers, CXMT and YMTC. China's AI accelerator units could reach 2.2 million units in 2025 and 3.5 million units in 2026, with domestic supply accounting for 45% and 60%, respectively, they note. The analysts expect some profit-taking in the chip sector ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays. Upcoming positive catalysts include China's Two Sessions in March and CXMT and YMTC's expected IPOs in 1Q and 2H, respectively. Citi's top pick is Montage Technology, which offers a rare AI-theme investment opportunity in China benefiting from global AI infrastructure investment. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
