Summary
SMIC, China's largest foundry, reported a drop in second-quarter revenue due to ongoing U.S. sanctions and a sluggish recovery in global chip demand. The company's revenue was $1.56 billion, down 18% from the same period last year, and net income was $402.76 million, down 21.7%. SMIC has been targeted by U.S. sanctions since 2020, limiting its access to key foreign technology. The company's inability to obtain advanced chip production technology and the slump in demand for certain chips have further impacted its performance. However, SMIC expects shipments to increase in the third quarter and aims to strengthen its technology R&D and platform development for future growth.
