1. Executive Summary

Shenzhen Kaifa generated operating revenue of RMB 8.278 billion in the first half of 2026, up 6.96% year on year; net profit attributable to the parent was RMB 543 million, up 20.28%; and non-GAAP net profit attributable to the parent was RMB 504 million, up 58.80%, indicating a relatively clear improvement in core operations. However, profit still included investment income of RMB 39.179 million and fair-value gains of RMB 95.112 million, so the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent should not be extrapolated linearly in full. The company plans to invest RMB 1.85 billion to expand high-end memory chip packaging and testing capacity and 2.5D/3DS advanced packaging capacity. The project is scheduled for completion in December 2028, and the expansion will be an important variable for future growth.

In 2025, the company generated operating revenue of RMB 15.747 billion. Revenue from high-end manufacturing, memory semiconductors, and smart metering terminals was RMB 8.535 billion, RMB 4.091 billion, and RMB 3.021 billion, respectively, with gross margins of 9.71%, 20.40%, and 39.26%. Memory semiconductor revenue rose 16.16% year on year, serving as an important support for business-mix upgrades and margin improvement. High-end manufacturing is the largest business but has relatively low profitability, while smart metering terminals have a high gross margin but revenue declined 19.18% year on year in the first half of 2026.

The company operates in the middle of the value chain for back-end memory chip packaging and testing, EMS, and smart metering terminals. It has dual production bases in Shenzhen and Hefei, as well as mass-production capabilities for Bumping, RDL, ultra-thin memory chip PoPt, 16-layer stacking, and uMCP SiP. In the first half of 2026, high-end manufacturing revenue increased 20.78% year on year, while memory semiconductor revenue increased only 1.83%, indicating that current growth is still contributed by multiple businesses. The recovery in memory packaging and testing demand and the realization of advanced packaging capacity remain to be observed.

As of September 11, 2026, the company’s share price was RMB 35.03, down approximately 47.1% from the 52-week high of RMB 66.20 reached on July 1. Daily turnover was RMB 2.908 billion and the turnover rate was 5.29%, accompanied by a high-volume decline and net outflows of major funds. The share price fell back below MA5, MA10, and MA20, indicating weak short-term technical momentum. At the same time, the trailing P/E ratio was approximately 45x, meaning that the current valuation already incorporates certain growth expectations.

2.3 Position in the Value Chain and Cost-Profit Structure

Shenzhen Kaifa spans three business categories—memory semiconductor packaging and testing, high-end manufacturing EMS, and smart metering terminals—and is generally positioned in the midstream manufacturing segment of the electronics value chain. Memory packaging and testing is located in the back-end of the memory industry chain, connecting wafer and chip supply with end applications. High-end manufacturing provides manufacturing and supply-chain services, while smart metering terminals serve power grids, overseas power companies, and other energy utility customers.

• Upstream inputs for memory semiconductor packaging and testing include memory wafers, chips, and related design specifications provided or designated by customers, as well as packaging substrates, lead frames, adhesive films, molding compounds, bonding wires, palladium-plated copper wires, and other packaging materials. The business also requires testers, probe stations, grinding equipment, packaging equipment, fixtures, electricity, cleanrooms, equipment depreciation, and engineering R&D investment.
• The company is promoting domestic substitution verification and customer adoption of key materials including adhesive films, substrates, and palladium-plated copper wires, indicating that packaging materials and equipment are important cost and risk areas in supply-chain self-reliance.
• Upstream inputs for high-end manufacturing EMS mainly consist of customer-designated or company-procured electronic components, PCBs, structural parts, memory devices, connectors, and other production materials. The 2024 annual report showed that material costs were approximately RMB 9.285 billion, accounting for 75.88% of operating costs, indicating a clear material-cost-driven profile.
• Upstream inputs for smart metering terminals mainly include electronic components, communication modules, metering chips, PCBs, structural parts, and terminal assembly materials. The company’s public annual reports do not disclose the specific procurement proportion of each type of material.
• As of December 31, 2025, purchases from the five largest suppliers totaled RMB 1.925 billion, accounting for 18.22% of total annual purchases, with the largest supplier accounting for 5.45%. This information comes from the company’s 2025 annual report. The report did not disclose the names of specific suppliers or the degree of dependence on core materials, key equipment, or particular chip materials.
• The company generally has limited influence over memory chip prices. Profitability depends more on packaging and testing fees, product mix, yield, capacity utilization, material costs, and the stability of customer orders. High-end manufacturing and metering terminals are also affected by upstream electronic-material prices and supply security.
• Downstream customers mainly include customers in the memory and hard-disk industries, EMS customers in electronic products, communications, consumer electronics, and industrial electronics, as well as State Grid, overseas power companies, and other energy utilities.
• As of December 31, 2025, sales to the five largest customers totaled RMB 9.016 billion, accounting for 57.25% of annual sales, with the largest customer accounting for 20.44%. In 2024, these figures were 52.40% and 24.11%, respectively. The data come from the company’s annual reports, which did not disclose customer names. Market articles’ identification of individual customers lacks cross-verification with company announcements.
• EMS customers generally have strong bargaining power in product pricing, annual price reductions, quality compensation, delivery schedules, and inventory management. Memory packaging and testing customers control wafer supply, product specifications, and order allocation. The bargaining power of packaging and testing providers depends on technical certification, yield, capacity scarcity, and delivery stability.
• Customers for smart metering terminals are mainly large energy customers such as power grids and overseas power companies. Projects are generally subject to tendering, certification, customer procurement prices, and payment terms. Revenue recognition and order timing may also be affected by grid investment and the progress of overseas projects.
• As of December 31, 2025, accounts receivable were RMB 4.250 billion, representing 15.92% of total assets. Based on 2025 operating revenue of RMB 15.747 billion, year-end accounts receivable were approximately 27.0% of full-year revenue. At the end of 2024, accounts receivable were RMB 3.936 billion, or 14.70% of total assets, equivalent to approximately 26.5% of full-year revenue. These static indicators show relatively significant working-capital use but cannot replace accounts-receivable turnover days. Public annual-report summaries and searchable texts did not allow complete cross-verification of 2025 accounts-receivable turnover days, prepayments, or business-line accounts payable data.
• As of December 31, 2025, sales to the five largest customers accounted for 57.25%, higher than purchases from the five largest suppliers at 18.22%. This indicates that the company’s customer concentration is higher than its supplier concentration and that it does not have complete dominance over major-customer orders, pricing, or credit terms. The customer and supplier ratios come from the annual report and are relatively reliable, but specific names and business-line dependence were not disclosed.

Shenzhen Kaifa occupies a midstream manufacturing position spanning “back-end memory chip packaging and testing + electronics manufacturing services + smart metering terminals.” High-end manufacturing is the largest business but has a lower gross margin, while memory packaging and testing and metering terminals have relatively higher technical or certification barriers. Future profit improvement will depend primarily on the release of high-end memory packaging and testing capacity, a higher mix of advanced packaging and high-stack products, customer-mix optimization, higher capacity utilization, cost reductions from domestic packaging-material substitution, and upgrades in high-end manufacturing toward ODM/JDM and higher-value-added manufacturing, rather than simple expansion of revenue scale.

3. Financial Data and Valuation Analysis

3.1 Recent Operating Performance

As of September 14, 2026, the latest formally disclosed financial report was the 2026 interim report, covering the period ended June 30, 2026, and disclosed on August 26, 2026. No formal third-quarter 2026 report had been identified. Non-GAAP net profit attributable to the parent in the first half of 2026 was RMB 504.29 million, up 58.80% year on year, while non-GAAP basic EPS was RMB 0.3203.

Revenue growth in the first half of 2026 mainly came from high-end manufacturing, whose revenue reached RMB 4.72249 billion, up 20.78% year on year. Memory semiconductor revenue was RMB 2.13802 billion, up 1.83%, while smart metering terminal revenue was RMB 1.35713 billion, down 19.18%. Operating profit was RMB 770.59 million, up approximately 4.98%. During the reporting period, investment income was RMB 39.179 million and fair-value gains were RMB 95.112 million, representing approximately 5.07% and 12.30% of total profit, respectively. Fair-value gains mainly came from financial derivatives and were somewhat volatile. The growth rate of non-GAAP net profit was significantly higher than that of net profit attributable to the parent, indicating improvement in core operations, but subsequent valuation should not be extrapolated entirely from first-half 2026 net profit attributable to the parent. From 2023 to 2025, revenue increased from RMB 14.26465 billion to RMB 15.74739 billion, maintaining mid-single-digit growth, while net profit attributable to the parent increased from RMB 644.60 million to RMB 1.13568 billion, growing faster than revenue. Non-GAAP net profit attributable to the parent in 2025 was RMB 967.93 million, up 7.48%, below the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent, indicating that non-recurring items contributed to profit growth.

3.2 Earnings Forecasts

Analyst coverage is limited. As of September 11, 2026, certain market terminals showed that two institutions had forecasts for 2026–2028. Detailed research-report pages mainly displayed Guotai Junan Securities, while the other forecast was cross-checked using aggregated data and a Guotai Haitong research report; these figures should not be regarded as broad market consensus. Aggregated terminal forecasts indicate a 2026–2028 compound growth rate of approximately 28%–29% for net profit attributable to the parent. Core assumptions include a recovery in memory semiconductor packaging and testing, capacity expansion, and margin improvement. Guotou Securities and Guotai Haitong forecast 2026 net profit attributable to the parent of RMB 1.664 billion and RMB 1.404 billion, respectively, and 2027 net profit of RMB 2.424 billion and RMB 1.673 billion, respectively. The forecasts differ substantially.

3.3 Valuation and Institutional Ratings

At the September 11, 2026 close, the company’s share price was RMB 35.03, market capitalization was approximately RMB 55.516 billion, trailing P/E was approximately 45.23x, non-GAAP P/E was approximately 48.08x, and P/B was approximately 3.36x. Some other market terminals showed P/B of approximately 4.14x–4.17x, likely due to differences in net asset definitions, share-count definitions, or data-update timing. P/B data requires verification using a consistent methodology. Based on the September 11 closing price, the 2026 forward P/E ratios implied by aggregated terminal forecasts, Guotou Securities, and Guotai Haitong were approximately 35.7x, 33.0x, and 39.4x, respectively; 2027 forward P/E ratios were approximately 26.9x, 22.7x, and 33.0x; and 2028 forward P/E ratios were approximately 21.6x, 18.2x, and 26.7x. The company’s static or trailing P/E of approximately 45x and non-GAAP P/E of approximately 48x are not low in absolute terms. Whether the valuation can be justified depends on the extent to which institutional forecasts are achieved. The current valuation already incorporates certain expectations for future profit growth. If 2026–2027 profit falls short of expectations, valuation digestion may rely mainly on time rather than rapid earnings growth. Key uncertainties include memory semiconductor packaging and testing conditions, post-expansion capacity utilization and depreciation pressure, the stability of high-end manufacturing, recovery in smart metering terminal revenue, and the sustainability of fair-value changes in financial derivatives and investment income.

4. Recent News and Announcements

4.1 Proposed RMB 1.85 Billion Investment to Expand High-End Memory Chip Packaging and Testing and Advanced Packaging Capacity

On September 10, 2026, the company disclosed the Announcement on the Proposed Expansion of High-End Memory Chip Packaging and Testing Capacity by a Subsidiary.

4.8 No New Regulatory Penalties, Material Litigation, or M&A Transactions Identified

As of September 14, 2026, no new regulatory inquiry letters, disciplinary actions, administrative penalties, material litigation, or major M&A announcements by the company in September 2026 had been identified. The company’s disclosed high-end memory chip packaging and testing capacity expansion project explicitly does not constitute a related-party transaction or material asset restructuring. It should therefore not be classified as an acquisition or material asset restructuring. The announcement mentioned that the project relates to AI-industry growth, advanced packaging technology, and demand for high-end memory chips, but did not disclose specific government subsidies, industrial-fund investment, tax incentives, or policy funding. It is therefore not possible to infer that the company has received such policy funding. This summary is as of September 14, 2026. The latest formal public announcement identified in the search was mainly dated September 10; any announcements from September 11 to September 14 that were not promptly indexed should be verified through CNINFO and Shenzhen Stock Exchange announcements.

5. Share Price and Technical Analysis

5.1 Price Overview

5.2 Technical Indicators

Shenzhen Kaifa’s share price fell significantly after reaching a 52-week high of RMB 66.20 on July 1, 2026, closing at RMB 35.03 on September 11. Daily turnover was approximately RMB 2.908 billion and the turnover rate was 5.29%. Turnover exceeded the recent five-day average of approximately RMB 2.329 billion, but the share price declined 4.03% and major-fund net outflow was approximately RMB 212 million, indicating a high-volume decline. Technically, the closing price fell back below MA5, MA10, and MA20. Although the MACD histogram as of September 10 was positive, both lines remained below the zero axis, suggesting a weak technical recovery rather than confirmation of a medium-term reversal. The Bollinger lower band was approximately RMB 32.98 and the middle band approximately RMB 37.18, placing the short-term price in the lower half of the band.

5.3 Short-Term Outlook (Next Week; Scenario Analysis for Reference Only)

⚠️ Risk Warning: The following is a subjective scenario analysis based on disclosed prices, trading data, and technical indicators. It does not constitute investment advice or an instruction to buy, sell, hold, or set a stop-loss.

① Key Technical Levels

② Scenarios for the Coming Week (Subjective Weights, Not Statistical Probabilities)

• Range-bound consolidation (relatively high weight, approximately 50%–60%; a subjective heuristic weight based on the current technical pattern, trading volume, and fund flows, not a statistical probability): Price range of approximately RMB 34.50–36.20. Trigger conditions include holding support around RMB 34.50, narrowing major-fund net outflows, and daily turnover falling back to the recent normal range of approximately RMB 1.5–2.5 billion. Under this scenario, the share price may fluctuate around RMB 35, while resistance may remain near RMB 36.
• Weak downward movement (medium weight; subjective heuristic weight, not a statistical probability): Price range of approximately RMB 33.00–34.50. Trigger conditions include a high-volume break below RMB 34.50, continued major-fund net outflows, and turnover clearly above the recent average while the stock closes lower. The support near the Bollinger lower band around RMB 33 would be monitored. If turnover rises while small-order support is insufficient, volatility may increase further.
• Stronger rebound (low weight; subjective heuristic weight, not a statistical probability): Price range of approximately RMB 36.20–38.00. Trigger conditions include reclaiming RMB 36.00–36.50, daily turnover of at least approximately RMB 3.0 billion, and major funds shifting from net outflows to sustained net inflows. A high-volume break above RMB 36 followed by sustained holding could be viewed as a sign of stronger recovery. The Bollinger middle band at RMB 37.18 and the MA20 area would remain important resistance.

③ Fund-Flow and Liquidity Background

As of September 11, 2026, the turnover rate was 5.29% and turnover was approximately RMB 2.908 billion. Over the 10 most recent complete trading days, turnover ranged from approximately RMB 1.562 billion to RMB 4.175 billion; over the most recent five days, turnover also ranged from approximately RMB 1.562 billion to RMB 4.175 billion. The five-day average was approximately RMB 2.329 billion and the 10-day average approximately RMB 2.212 billion. Current daily trading volume is relatively large, and overall liquidity is not extremely low. However, the combination of turnover above the recent average, a significant price decline, and major-fund outflows on September 11 indicates substantial exchange of positions during the decline. As of August 31, 2026, total shareholder count was 472,405. As of June 30, 2026, the top 10 tradable shareholders held approximately 618.9917 million shares, or approximately 39.32% of tradable shares. According to Tonghuashun, institutions held approximately 624 million shares, or 39.65% of tradable A shares. Concentration was mainly attributable to China Electronics’ approximately 34.21% stake. As of June 30, 2026, public funds, insurers, QFII, and overseas institutions were present, but institutional holdings had decreased by approximately 59.4791 million shares from December 31, 2025. The top-10 shareholder and institutional-holding data are as of June 30, approximately two and a half months before September 11. Although shareholder count had been updated to August 31, complete changes in the top-10 shareholders had not been disclosed, so the current ownership structure may have changed and cannot replace the latest fund-flow data.

A verifiable price-volume confirmation signal would be the share price reclaiming RMB 36.00–36.50 over the coming week, with daily turnover consistently reaching approximately RMB 3.0 billion or more while major funds no longer post continuous net outflows. This could be viewed as an observation signal of improved short-term fund support. If turnover rises but the stock continues to close below RMB 34.50, the move should instead be interpreted as selling-pressure release rather than a valid breakout.

④ Points to Monitor (Observation Framework Only, Not Trading Instructions)

• Observation only, not a trading instruction: monitor whether support at RMB 34.50–35.00 holds; if broken, observe the strong-support zone at RMB 33.00–34.00.
• Observation only, not a trading instruction: monitor whether RMB 35.40–36.00 can be reclaimed. The area around RMB 36.50 can serve as a reference for further assessing rebound strength.
• Observation only, not a trading instruction: monitor whether turnover exceeds approximately RMB 3.0 billion for multiple sessions and occurs together with major-fund net inflows.
• Observation only, not a trading instruction: monitor whether MACD can maintain DIF above DEA and gradually recover above the zero axis.

The above scenario analysis is based on the September 11, 2026 closing data and historical prices and technical indicators available as of September 10, 2026. Short-term share prices may also be affected by news flow, fund flows, the broader market, and other factors. Technical indicators are inherently lagging and limited. This analysis does not guarantee future actual performance and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation. Investors should make independent judgments based on the latest market information and assume their own investment risks.

Shenzhen Kaifa focuses on memory semiconductor packaging and testing while combining it with high-end EMS manufacturing and smart metering terminals.

6.2 Competitive Landscape

• Core competitive factors in semiconductor packaging and testing include advanced packaging technology, packaging yield and testing capabilities, customer-certification cycles and long-term relationships, equipment, materials, and engineering R&D capabilities, stable capacity and utilization, and coverage of markets such as high-performance computing, memory, and automotive electronics.
• The global packaging and testing market is relatively concentrated. ASE, Amkor, JCET, Tongfu Microelectronics, Huatian Technology, Powertech Technology, and KYEC are among the major competitors. Market shares are affected by statistical methodology, whether IDM internal packaging and testing are included, and data sources; figures from different sources are not necessarily strictly comparable.
• China’s mainland packaging and testing industry is dominated by domestic companies, with increasing concentration among leading players. JCET, Tongfu Microelectronics, and Huatian Technology have relatively large overall scale, while Shenzhen Kaifa is more focused on DRAM, NAND Flash, and related embedded-memory packaging and testing.
• Competition in memory packaging and testing centers on high stacking, ultra-thin chips, and high-density packaging processes; mass-production experience in DRAM, NAND Flash, UFS, and LPDDR; large-scale testing and test-program development; and long-term certification relationships with memory wafer manufacturers, module manufacturers, and end customers.
• Shenzhen Kaifa uses a dual-base footprint in Shenzhen and Hefei, with mass-production capabilities for Bumping and RDL, ultra-thin memory-chip PoPt packaging, 16-layer stacking, and uMCP SiP packaging. It is also advancing high-stack packaging for 32-layer NAND Flash, UFS4.1, and GDDR multi-chip flip-chip packaging.
• As of the end of 2025, the company had not disclosed a unified current total monthly packaging or testing capacity covering the entire company. The approximately RMB 1.470 billion capacity-expansion project disclosed in May 2026 represents planned additional capacity, expected to enter production in phases in 2027, and should not be included in existing capacity as of the end of 2025.

6.3 Major Competitors

Shenzhen Kaifa competes partially with comprehensive packaging and testing companies such as JCET, Tongfu Microelectronics, and Huatian Technology, but its business structure is not identical. Its relative advantages include specialization in memory packaging and testing, the Shenzhen-Hefei dual-base footprint, coordination with China’s domestic memory value chain, and the combination of memory packaging and testing, EMS, and smart metering terminals. Its relative weaknesses are the still-large contribution from traditional or high-end manufacturing and the gap with comprehensive leaders in global packaging and testing scale, breadth of advanced packaging, and global brand influence.

7. Risk Factors

• Investment recovery and capacity-utilization risk in memory packaging and testing expansion: The company plans to invest RMB 1.85 billion in traditional packaging and testing and 2.5D/3DS advanced packaging capacity. The project is expected to be completed in December 2028, but specific customers, signed orders, expected revenue, and profit contributions have not been disclosed. If the memory market declines or equipment utilization is insufficient, depreciation pressure could rise and the investment payback period could lengthen.
• Memory semiconductor growth and profitability depend on orders, product mix, and packaging and testing utilization: Revenue from this business increased only 1.83% year on year in the first half of 2026. The company also stated that utilization would be adjusted dynamically with customer orders, without disclosing specific utilization or order values. The release of advanced packaging capacity remains uncertain.
• High customer concentration and relatively weak bargaining power: The five largest customers accounted for 57.25% of sales in 2025 and the largest customer accounted for 20.44%. EMS customers have strong bargaining power in pricing, annual price reductions, quality compensation, delivery, and inventory management. Changes in orders or payment terms from major customers could affect revenue and profit.
• High-end manufacturing is large but has a low gross margin: The business accounted for 54.20% of revenue in 2025, with a gross margin of only 9.71%. Materials accounted for approximately 75.88% of operating costs in 2024. If the costs of electronic components, PCBs, structural parts, and other materials rise, or customer price pressure increases, margins could come under pressure.
• Decline in smart metering terminal revenue: Revenue in the first half of 2026 was RMB 1.357 billion, down 19.18% year on year. The business is affected by grid investment, overseas project progress, tendering, certification, procurement prices, and payment terms, making the timing of revenue recovery uncertain.
• Relatively significant working-capital use and customer-credit risk: Year-end 2025 accounts receivable were RMB 4.250 billion, or 15.92% of total assets and approximately 27.0% of full-year operating revenue. Sales to the five largest customers also exceeded purchases from the five largest suppliers, indicating that the company does not have complete dominance over payment periods and credit terms with major customers.
• Volatility from non-core and financial factors: Finance expenses were negative RMB 418 million in 2025 and settlement gains from financial derivatives increased. In the first half of 2026, fair-value gains were RMB 95.112 million and investment income was RMB 39.179 million. If these gains decrease or turn into losses, net profit attributable to the parent could be below the level implied by core operating performance.
• Earnings-delivery risk from current valuation and share-price volatility: As of September 11, 2026, the share price was RMB 35.03, trailing P/E was approximately 45x, and static and dynamic P/E were approximately 48x–51x. If 2026–2027 profit falls below institutional forecasts, valuation digestion could take an extended period. Technically, the share price was below MA5, MA10, and MA20, while major-fund net outflow was approximately RMB 212 million on the day, implying high short-term volatility risk.

8. Conclusion and Outlook

Shenzhen Kaifa’s medium- and long-term growth logic mainly comes from the expansion of memory semiconductor packaging and testing, upgrades in advanced packaging technology and capacity, and the evolution of high-end manufacturing toward ODM/JDM and higher-value-added manufacturing. If the RMB 1.85 billion expansion project matches strategic customer demand and achieves high utilization, it could increase the revenue and profit contribution of memory packaging and testing. However, the new-plant project has an expected pre-tax investment payback period of 12.01 years, and specific customers, signed orders, revenue, and profit contributions have not been disclosed, meaning that growth realization will take time.

In the first half of 2026, non-GAAP profit growth was significantly higher than growth in net profit attributable to the parent, reflecting improvement in core operations. However, high-end manufacturing growth coexisted with a decline in smart metering terminals, and business performance remained mixed. Institutional forecasts for net profit attributable to the parent range from RMB 1.404 billion to RMB 1.664 billion for 2026 and from RMB 1.673 billion to RMB 2.424 billion for 2027, representing a substantial forecast spread. At the current trailing P/E of approximately 45x, valuation justification depends on memory packaging and testing conditions, expansion utilization, margin improvement, and the degree to which forecasts are achieved.

Investors should focus on memory packaging and testing orders and utilization, construction progress and capital-return performance of the advanced packaging project, changes in high-end manufacturing customers and margins, recovery in smart metering terminal revenue, and the impact of financial-derivative gains on profit. The chairman retired and was replaced by Zhou Gengshen. The announcement indicated that the change resulted from retirement and work adjustments; the continuity of strategic execution following the management change should nevertheless be monitored.
