2. Three-lens mobile phone becomes an important trend, the average unit price of 3D sensing lens faces downward
Gathering micro-messages, recently the Hong Kong Department of Foreign Investment issued the latest Da Liguang report, three-lens mobile phones have become an important trend.
Since Apple introduced the dual-lens iPhone 7 Plus in 2016, the market has evolved. Now, high-end mobile phones are all equipped with dual-lens specifications, and some mid- to high-end models start to use dual-camera configurations simultaneously.
Hong Kong Department of Foreign Investment believes that starting in 2019, mobile phone brand manufacturers will have the opportunity to start using three-lens design, not only to provide greater aperture, better zoom capabilities, optical zoom can even come three to five times, and in this industry trend Under the premise of development, Dali is a major leader in smart phone lenses, and it is expected to benefit from this. In particular, the three-lens design is expected to be adopted by high-end models first, and then it will also enter the mid-range phones, which is expected to contribute extra. Da Liguang 2018, revenue of about 9% and 18% in 2019.
In addition to the three-lens opportunities, Daliguang also has orders for 3D sensing lenses. However, the Hong Kong Department bluntly stated that the 3D sensing market will face the risk of ASP (average unit price) decline. The limited attention to Da Liguang's operations is not as good as it is. Three lens opportunities are bigger.
Hong Kong-based foreign investment is positively concerning the upgrade of lens specifications. In addition to the three lenses, the lens specifications are expected to be upgraded from 6p to 7p in 2020, and the 3D sensing specifications will continue. Attention will be given to the future operation of DaLiguang.
Foreign investment in Hong Kong Departments increased by 2018, 2019. Each of 2020 estimates is about 5%, 13% and 10% to reflect better demand.
3. Goer Shares: US 337 investigation has no direct relationship with the company
According to the micro-network news, on May 24th, Bose Corporation of the United States filed an application with the US International Trade Commission pursuant to Section 337 of the U.S. Customs Act of 1930, alleging earphones that were exported to the United States, imported in the United States, or sold in the United States.

4. Strong demand for chip resistors Jiuhao will continue to increase prices
Jiuhao's Guoxin Investment Co., Ltd. held 6,329 shares, holding a 7.4% shareholding rate. The news encouraged the stock price to soar in recent days. Although Jiuhao, Guo Ju successively emphasized that Guoxin Investment held shares as 'short-term investment', and the rumor was pure. It is market speculation, but it still fails to extinguish the passion of the market.
Jiuhao is the only manufacturer in Taiwan with alumina ceramic substrate technology. Its main products include chip resistors, automotive and solar energy products, and is mainly supplied by Guo Ju, Hua Xinke, Da Yi, and other chip resistance upstream material ceramic substrates. In part, Jiuhao has become a global supplier of automotive components Delphi and Sensata.
It is understood that in the first quarter of Jiuhao, the net loss per share after tax was 0.15 yuan, due to lack of work, annual maintenance of equipment, and other factors. However, the company stated that with the completion of the employees, passive product orders will be added. Quarterly operations will grow.
The legal person pointed out that Jiuhao has started to negotiate price increases with customers in succession, adding momentum to the operation. As chip resistance prices continue to rise this year, coupled with strong demand for chip resistors, supply of upstream ceramic substrates is tight, and Jiuhao is expected to be in chips. With the influx of resistance orders and the rise in resistance prices, it is expected to push up this year's results.
5. Received orders from Japanese bitcoin miner and mainland AI customers in the first quarter, Shimao bullish in the second half of the year
IC design service provider Shi Xin - KY held a shareholders meeting on the 30th, general manager Shen Xianglin said that the second quarter revenue will be better than the first quarter, but due to the high base period in the same period last year, single quarter profitability is not easy to grow compared to the same period last year; Annual operations benefit from high-speed computing products and artificial intelligence (AI) application orders. The annual revenue and profit are expected to be better than last year.
Shixin received the Japanese Bitcoin mining machine and mainland AI customers in the first quarter. NRE’s revenue accounted for more than 50% of the total revenue. The gross profit margin increased to 45.84%, and the net profit per share was 1.85 yuan, both setting a new record high over the same period of the calendar year.
Shi Xin said that it seems that the second quarter of operations is still expected to maintain its high performance in the first quarter. The quarterly growth rate can also be comparable to the first quarter. However, due to a large project recorded in the second quarter of last year, it was relatively high at the base period. Below, single-quarter profit may be slightly lower than the same period last year.
For the case of orders received this year, Shen Xianglin said that most of the cases this year were high-speed computing (HPC) and AI-related businesses. Since the beginning of this year, high-end process lists have continued contact, and they have accepted NRE, part of high-end manufacturing orders, and this year's fourth. The quarter will enter volume production next year, and it is expected that the high-end process orders will be the momentum for revenue growth next year.
In the area of artificial intelligence, WSD’s chief financial officer, Wang Deshan, also pointed out that the development and application of global artificial intelligence is quite diverse, from consumer appliances to high-end technology research and development. However, in recent years, the world’s lock-in artificial intelligence-related orders are in the cloud. The customer-oriented, chip design is much more complex than consumer products, and the unit price is also significantly higher. In the past, Shixin accounted for about 30% of orders in the consumer market. In the future, the order receiving strategy will reduce the proportion of customer orders in the consumer market, which will improve the market. World Core operating performance.
In the third quarter of this year, Shixin will also begin shipping the top three brands of mobile phone facial recognition chips in mainland China. It will be applied to high-end models in the mainland. As for the contribution to this year's operation, Shixin said that actual shipments still need to be observed on mobile phones. According to the sales situation.
Looking forward to the whole year, the legal person estimates that Sapphire's 7-nanometer Japanese Bitcoin orders in the first quarter of this year will not only recognize the NRE, but will enter into mass production in the fourth quarter. This will be an important growth momentum for the operation this year. In addition, the remaining Bitcoin mining Machine-related orders will also be recognized one after another. The contribution of AI customers is not small, including AI application cases in China, North America and other countries. It is optimistic that the double-digit annual revenue will increase this year.
