In its report, Daiwa revised down its forecast for SMIC (00981.HK)'s 2026 results, as the broker shares the management's concern that demand pull-in could weigh on its 2026 business.

The company's unusually high and long capex cycle also exacerbates the broker’s concerns about depreciation and geopolitical burdens, which may exert pressure on its structural profitability.
