US Tech Embargo Has Pushed Beijing for Self-Sufficiency, Drives Local Chip Equipment Firms to Double Profits
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Chinese chip equipment makers Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc and Naura Technology Group Co expect to double their profits due to the U.S. tech embargo forcing manufacturers to seek domestic alternatives. However, their stocks dropped after recent Chinese economic data missed estimates. Meanwhile, the embargo has created an underground market for chips, with vendors in Shenzhen claiming the availability of Nvidia Corp's A100 AI chips at double the usual price.
