As the largest and most important wafer foundry in China, SMIC returned to the A-share market in just 18 days, creating the fastest record in the country. This shows how this company is valued in China, after all, it is the only A Chinese fab that mass-produce the 14nm process. However, when compared with TSMC, Samsung, and other companies, SMIC's 14nm is 4 – 5 years late. There is still a big gap in the 7nm and 5nm processes. It is still very difficult to make up for the technology gap. SMIC seems late in everything, technology, talent, equipment, capital, and so on. The threshold to meet is very high.
Even after catching up with the 7nm and 5nm processes, there is still a key question. Will SMIC be able to develop more advanced 3nm and 2nm processes? Regarding this issue, analysts of Guosen Securities are not very optimistic.
