2025 recap:rising demand boosted revenue
Benefiting from growing market demand,HTCT's 2025 revenue reached RMB1,346mn,up 48.7%YoY,with GPM at 73.8%,up 0.5pp YoY.As of end-2025,cumulative global installations of its in-house test equipment exceeded 8,000 units.The company has entered the supplier system of the international packaging and testing market,with clients including STMicroelectronics,ON Semiconductor,and Nexperia.At end-2025,cumulative investment in large-scale SoC test systems amounted to approximately RMB317mn,currently in the customer verification phase.In 2025,the company maintained effective expense control,with the sales/administrative/R&D expense ratio at 11.7/4.8/19.7%,representing aYoY change of-2.5/-1.6/+0.7pp.
Outlook:8600 steadily advancing
For 2026,SEMI forecasts global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales to reach USD145bn,with test equipment sales growing 12.0%YoY on top of 2025's high base.In terms of products,the STS8200,STS8300,and power-related offerings remain key revenue and contract contributors,while the STS8600—a next-gen test system targeting the SoC testing segment—features higher channel counts and test frequencies,further diversifying the company's product portfolio.Additionally,the company's convertible bond issuance targeting unspecified investors has been approved.The aim is to raise approximately RMB750mn for R&D projects focused on self-developed ASIC-based test systems.We remain positive on the company's sustained earnings growth,driven by industry recovery,new product ramp-ups,and continued R&D investments.
Target price RMB459,maintain BUY
We are positive on demand expansion for testers driven by rising capex from downstream packaging and testing plants,and we expect further growth in China's tester market in 2026.We also remain optimistic about the competitive position of the company's 8200/8300 testers in the market,which stand to benefit from rising domestic tester demand.Accordingly,we raise our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecast by 54/55%,bringing it to RMB915/1,010mn and project 2028 attributable NP of RMB1,139mn,with 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB6.75/7.45/8.41.While we recognize the company's leading position in the test equipment market,its valuation remains at adiscount vs peers(which benefit from domestic memory capacity expansion,among other factors).We assign a2026E PE of 68.0x(vs its peers average of 80.07x on Wind consensus)and,given the upward revision in our EPS estimates,raise our target price to RMB459.00 from RMB278.12.
Risks:A semiconductor market downturn,slower import substitution,new technology and product R&D risks.
