The 2023 collective performance briefing meeting of Shanghai state-owned listed companies was recently held at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Seven Shanghai state-controlled listed companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, including Huahong Company, Guotai Junan, Shanghai Electric, Jinjiang Hotels, Shanghai Airport, Shenergy Group, and Shanghai Film, participated in the event and introduced the production and operations, financial status, dividends, and industries of each listed company. status, ESG and sustainable development strategies and other content that investors are concerned about, and answer investor questions.
Among them, Huahong Company is a semiconductor specialty technology enterprise that has attracted much market attention. Among pure wafer foundry companies, Huahong ranks fifth globally in sales in 2023 and second among mainland Chinese companies.
In 2023, the semiconductor market as a whole will be sluggish. That year, Huahong Company’s operating income dropped slightly by 3.30% year-on-year to 16.232 billion yuan.

In terms of production capacity construction, Huahong Wuxi Phase II project with a total investment of US$6.7 billion will start construction in June 2023, and the steel roof truss hoisting of the main factory building will be completed in December. It is expected to start trial production this year and reach a production capacity of 30,000-40,000 pieces/month next year. The Wuxi Phase I project that was previously put into production has completed the ramp-up of production capacity from 65,000 pieces/month to 95,000 pieces/month. The company's 8-inch equivalent production capacity expanded to 391,000 wafers per month, and the annual shipment of wafers reached 4.103 million.
2024 is a critical year for the implementation of actions to deepen and improve the reform of state-owned enterprises, and it is also a critical year for connecting the past and the next. The Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will continue to guide and encourage listed companies to combine their own characteristics, strengthen communication with investors, improve company transparency, and promote intrinsic value and market value to go hand in hand.
