Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp seeks public listing after record financial performance
The company reported first-quarter revenue exceeding 20 billion RMB, representing a 100 percent year-over-year increase. Its self-developed NAND flash chips currently hold more than 10 percent of the global production market share. YMTC operates two mature wafer fabs in Wuhan with a combined monthly capacity of approximately 200,000 wafers.
YMTC has initiated equipment installation for its Phase III factory, with production expected to begin by the end of 2024. The company aims to add 50,000 wafers per month of capacity by 2027. The long-term goal is to raise overall monthly production to 500,000 wafers.
Market predictions suggest the IPO valuation could reach approximately 300 billion RMB. This estimate reflects investor interest in a major player challenging established Korean and American storage giants. The expansion plans indicate a strategic push to increase supply independence in the semiconductor sector.
