Electronic Fabric Sector Surges; Sinoma, Honghe Hit Daily Limit Up on Supply Constraints, AI Demand

On July 27, the A-share electronic fabric sector surged, with Sinoma Science & Technology and Honghe Technology hitting the daily limit up. The sector's supply is constrained by core equipment, as imported looms have long delivery times and domestic equipment still lags in stable mass production of qualified products, creating a hard bottleneck for capacity expansion. Manufacturers are shifting capacity toward high-margin specialty electronic fabrics, reducing supply of standard fabrics. On the demand side, AI server demand continues to rise, with downstream clients securing supply through deposits and advance orders.

Cystone Capital's 1.2B Yuan Bet on ChangXin Memory Pays Off as DRAM Maker Lists on STAR Market

Cystone Capital invested 1.2 billion yuan in ChangXin Memory Technologies (formerly Ruili Integration) in 2021, when the DRAM maker had a monthly capacity of just 40,000 wafers and was still debugging chip yields. The company has since listed on the STAR Market, with revenue expected to exceed 20 billion yuan. Despite industry cycles and investor exits, Cystone Capital held its position. ChangXin now covers DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5X products, with 16nm mass production and a technology gap of only 1-2 generations behind global leaders.
