Underweight

Reason

The analyst rating for SMIC (00981.HK) is maintained as "Underweight" by JPMorgan due to a cautious outlook. The reasons for this rating include the need for actual earnings data to support a sustained premium valuation, which is not expected in the next 6-12 months. Additionally, despite strong demand for advanced process products, SMIC's gross profit margin (GPM) remains at a low 20% level, and there is limited potential for significant improvement in GPM in the coming years due to rapidly rising depreciation costs. Although JPMorgan has raised its target price from HKD 36 to HKD 57, the overall sentiment remains cautious.
