TSMC to Raise 3nm Prices by 15% in H2; SMIC Hits Record High; Huabao Fund's STAR-ChiNext 50 ETF (588330) Gains 2.4%, Attracts 239.6 Million Yuan in Single Day

Deep News05-28

This afternoon (May 28), the three major A-share indices quickly turned positive, with strong momentum in the technology and growth sectors. The STAR-ChiNext 50 ETF (588330), a broad-based hard-tech fund covering 50 leading high-growth companies from the ChiNext and STAR boards, extended its gains after hitting a new listing high yesterday. Its intraday price rose by up to 2.44% today, currently up 2.05%.

Amid the heated market activity, capital is actively flowing in. Data shows that the STAR-ChiNext 50 ETF (588330) attracted 23.96 million yuan in net inflows in a single day yesterday.

Among its constituent stocks, Xian Yicai-U, Jinghe Integration, Sanhuan Group, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), Zhongji Innolight, China Resources Microelectronics, and NewEpoch Technology all reached new historical highs.

On the news front, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) plans to increase prices for its 3-nanometer process wafer foundry services in the second half of 2026, with hikes potentially reaching up to 15%. Further increases of 5% to 10% are possible in 2027. Industry insiders suggest this will directly benefit domestic foundries in terms of order acquisition and profit improvement through three mechanisms: "spillover demand for advanced processes," "industry price linkage," and "deepening of import substitution trends."

Huatai Securities Co., Ltd. emphasizes the technology sector in its mid-term strategy. According to Huatai Securities, referencing the "fund allocation clock" framework, there is still room for further increases in both positioning and stock prices within the technology segment. Considering current penetration rates, industry expectations, and potential catalysts, emerging industries currently entering the "singularity" phase are mainly concentrated in the AI industry chain's computing power segment, covering areas like memory, CPO, and liquid cooling. Industries still in the development and introduction phase are primarily focused on new AI computing technologies and AI applications.

Shenwan Hongyuan points out that the major wave of market activity is not over and is gathering strength for another move. Short-term momentum effects are concentrated in semiconductor equipment and computing power inflation areas (such as PCBs), while medium-term focus remains on the inflection point of new energy sector prosperity.

Over a longer horizon, the underlying index (the STAR-ChiNext 50 Index) of the STAR-ChiNext 50 ETF (588330) has surged by 146.04% over the past year, significantly outperforming major indices like the ChiNext 50 (121.94%) and the STAR 50 (86.60%), leading the pack among broad-based hard-tech funds.
