$SMIC(00981)$  

A new high and an ATH coming... taking out $44 is a matter of hours, if not minutes... SMIC stands out as a Chinese based chips manufacturer. I have stated a year or two before that it stands to gain from US ban on advanced chips to China (Not sure how to link my old article- anyone can share?). 

Why?

Simple - 2 important reasons.

1) Chinese companies have no choice but to buy from SMIC due to the US advanced chips ban. Donald Trump will likely continue what his predecessor did in this aspect.

2) Chinese government's support [USD]  [Allin]  [Allin]  [USD]  No matter how badly the rest of the economy is doing, Chinese government is throwing its weight behind technology companies like SMIC in order to win the technology war. Currently, TSMC, Nvidia are the undisputed leaders in their respective chips development. With the banning of chips coming into China, the AI race has been compromised. Chinese government is throwing everything to give Chinese technology firms a leg up in the race.

There is a new third reason that just emerged just a week ago... yup, that is DeepSeek... I know it sounds like a hyped campaign with all the media rushing to cover it. It is nevertheless still a big deal... it minimally created doubts in the approach in AI development. It illustrates the creative power of Chinese. Furthermore, it provides the booster 🚀 for companies like SMIC in China. Why? It shows that maybe the "lower" technology developed by the Chinese companies are good enough to be on par with US in the AI race... further improvement in the technology will ACE it! 

What's not like? Mark this day, reaching new heights is only the beginning for SMIC...

    For the record, I have a position in SMIC, it was purchased sometime after my last article on the company.
    If anyone knows how to link an old post, please share… I know that it can be done but I have not managed to find out how to do that. It’s an old post, so many newcomers won’t know about it. It is a series of articles about China and its relationship with US.
