(i) S M I C Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation

(SMIC) is a partially state-owned publicly listed Chinese pure-play semiconductor foundry company.

It is the largest contract chip maker in mainland China.

SMIC is headquartered in Shanghai[4] and incorporated in the Cayman Islands.[5] It has wafer fabrication sites throughout mainland China, offices in the United States, Italy, Japan, and Taiwan, and a representative office in Hong Kong.[6] It provides integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing services from 350 nm to 7 nm[7] process technologies.

State-owned civilian and military telecommunications equipment provider Datang Telecom Group as well as the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund are major shareholders of SMIC.[8][9][10][11] Notable customers include Huawei, Qualcomm,[12][13] Broadcom,[14] and Texas Instruments.[15][12] SMIC expanded in the early 2020s by building four 28 nm process fabs across China as a result of a joint venture with China's state semiconductor fund; the fabs were expected to come online in 2023 and 2024.[16]

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    (ii) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC;

also called Taiwan Semiconductor)

[3][4] is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. It is the world's second most valuable semiconductor company,[5] the world's largest dedicated independent ("pure-play") semiconductor foundry,[6] and its country's largest company,[7][8] with headquarters and main operations located in the Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

It is majority owned by foreign investors,[9] and the central government of Taiwan is the largest shareholder.[10]

Founded in Taiwan in 1987 by Morris Chang, TSMC was the world's first dedicated semiconductor foundry and has long been the leading company in its field.[11][12] When Chang retired in 2018, after 31 years of TSMC leadership, Mark Liu became chairman and C. C. Wei became Chief Executive.

[13][14] It has been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE: 2330) since 1993; in 1997 it became the first Taiwanese company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: TSM)

Siince 1994, TSMC has had a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4% in revenue and a CAGR of 16.1% in earnings.[15]

Most of the leading fabless semiconductor companies such as AMD, Apple, ARM, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, Qualcomm and Nvidia, are customers of TSMC, as are emerging companies such as Allwinner Technology, HiSilicon, Spectra7, and UNISOC.[16] Leading programmable logic device companies Xilinx and previously Altera also make or made use of TSMC's foundry services.[17] Some integrated device manufacturers that have their own fabrication facilities, such as Intel, NXP, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments, outsource some of their production to TSMC.[18][19] At least one semiconductor company, LSI, re-sells TSMC wafers through its ASIC design services and design IP portfolio.[dubious – discuss]

TSMC has a global capacity of about thirteen million 300 mm-equivalent wafers per year as of 2020 and makes chips for customers with process nodes from 2 microns to 5 nanometres. TSMC was the first foundry to market 7-nanometre and 5-nanometre (used by the 2020 Apple A14 and M1 SoCs, the MediaTek Dimensity 8100, and

AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors) production capabilities, and the first to commercialize extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology in high volume.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., commonly abbreviated as AMD, is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets.

The company was founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and a group of other technology professionals. AMD's early products were primarily memory chips and other components for computers. The company later expanded into the microprocessor market, competing with Intel, its main rival in the industry. In the early 2000s, AMD experienced significant growth and success, thanks in part to its strong position in the PC market and the success of its Athlon and Opteron processors. However, the company faced challenges in the late 2000s and early 2010s, as it struggled to keep up with Intel in the race to produce faster and more powerful processors. In the late 2010s,

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      AMD regained some of its market share thanks to the success of its

Ryzen processors

which are now widely regarded as superior to Intel products in business applications including cloud applications.[citation needed] AMD's processors are used in a wide range of computing devices, including personal computers, servers, laptops, and gaming consoles. While it initially manufactured its own processors, the company later outsourced its manufacturing, a practice known as going fabless, after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009.

AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors, graphics processors, and FPGAs for servers, workstations, personal computers, and embedded system applications. The company has also expanded into new markets, such as the data center and gaming markets, and has announced plans to enter the high-performance computing market.[citation needed]

Stock Idea - Kelington Group

AmInvest

Publish date:

Tue, 28 Nov 2023, 09:42 AM

Company Background.

Kelington Group (KGB)

is one of the leading providers of ultra-high purity gas and chemical delivery solutions for high technology industry.

The group is also a one-stop facility solution provider of turnkey engineering services from initial system design up to maintenance and servicing after completion.

It operates under 4 core business divisions:

(i) ultra-high purity (UHP),

(ii) process engineering,

(iii) general contracting, and

(iv) industrial gases.

KGB’s top 3 key operating markets collectively contributed 95% of 9MFY23 total sales:

Malaysia (43%),

Singapore (35%) and

China (17%).

Prospects.

(i) Healthy orderbook replenishment rate across UHP, process engineering and general contracting divisions.

As at 30 Sep 2023, total outstanding orderbook stood at RM1.5bil (1x annualised FY23F revenue),

(ii) Plan to increase production capacity at its 2nd liquid carbon dioxide plant in Kerteh to cater for rising demand in tandem with the economic recovery and growing export demand from Oceania countries, and

(iii) In 1QFY24, the commencement of its 2nd on-site gas supply scheme will provide various industrial gases to a semiconductor giant in Kedah, positively underpinning earnings visibility for the next 10 years.

Financial Performance. In 9MFY23, KGB reported a higher revenue of RM1.13bil (+33.3% YoY) with a PAT of RM68.9mil (+77.7% YoY).

This was mainly driven by contributions from UHP and process engineering divisions as well as elevated demand for liquid carbon dioxide and other industrial gases from local/export markets.

Valuation. KGB

is trading at an attractive FY23F P/E of 14.4x, which is lower than its 5-year forward average of 17x and

Bursa Industrial Production Index’s 23.8x currently.

As a comparison, U.S.-based Linde

and Europe-based Air Liquide,

both also involved in specialty gases, industrial gas and processing solutions, trades at a much higher FY23F P/E of 29.4x and 27x respectively.

Technical Analysis.

KGB may trend higher after it gapped up and hit a new 52-week high 2 sessions ago.

The stock also posted 3 white candles in a row and its 20-day EMA is starting to turn upward, likely suggesting that upward momentum is picking up further.

A bullish bias may emerge above the RM1.60 level, with stop-loss set at RM1.48, below the 50-day EMA.

Towards the upside, near  term resistance level is seen at

( i ) RM2.00, followed by

( ii ) RM2.20.

KGB’s 9MFY23 results beat expectations on margin expansion stemming from account finalisation of a turnkey job and accelerated billings from high-margin ultra-high purity gas system projects. We raise our FY23-24F net profit forecasts by 45% and 53%, respectively, lift our TP by 53% to

RM3.28 (from RM2.15)

RM3.28 (from RM2.15)

RM3.28 (from RM2.15)

and reiterate our OUTPERFORM call.

Above expectations. KGB’s 9MFY23 net profit of RM66.9m (+78% YoY) already surpassed our full-year forecast by 7% and was only 1% away from the full-year consensus estimate. The variance against our forecast came largely from stronger-than-expected billings from its projects in China. Forecasts. We raise our FY23-24F net profit forecasts by 45% and 53%, respectively, as we reflect stronger project deliveries and margin expansion on improved revenue mix.

Consequently, we lift our TP by 53% to RM3.28 (from RM2.15 )

RM3.28 (from RM2.15 )

RM3.28 (from RM2.15 )

RM3.28 (from RM2.15)

based on an unchanged 21x FY24F PER. Our valuation represents a c.10% discount to peer’s forward mean PER of 24x which includes global players such as Air Products, Air Liquide and Linde. There is no adjustment to our TP based on ESG given a 3-star rating as appraised by us (see Page 4).

We like KGB for:

(i) it being a direct proxy to the front-end wafer fab expansion,

(ii) its strong earnings visibility underpinned by robust order-book and tender-book exceeding RM1b, and

(iii) its strong footholds in multiple markets, i.e. Malaysia, Singapore and China. Maintain OUTPERFORM.

Risks to our call include:

(i) chip makers halting their expansion plans due to oversupply,

(ii) worsening Sino-US chip war, and

(iii) delays in LCO2 expansion.
