SMIC (00981.HK) saw its share price hike recently, driven by localization in China and a better 1FQ25 outlook, JPMorgan released a research report saying. Its valuation is now on par with that of its A-share IPO in mid-2020.

JPMorgan downgraded SMIC from Neutral to Underweight, and elevated its target price for the stock's H-shares from $24 to $32. The broker believed that sequential growth momentum may weaken starting from 2FQ25, as the pre-build momentum eases.
