Chinese chipmaker CXMT forecasts dramatic profit swing on AI demand

Original: Chinese memory chip maker CXMT forecasts up to 19.8B USD net income for the first nine months of 2026, a dramatic swing

Chinese memory chip maker CXMT is forecasting net income of up to 19.8 billion US dollars for the first nine months of 2026, a dramatic turnaround from a loss a year earlier. The surge is driven by AI-fuelled demand for memory, and the company is positioning itself as a domestic challenger to Samsung and SK Hynix. It also pledged a share buy-back, a signal of confidence that observers see as marking its arrival among the global memory giants.

Why now: The scale of the forecast turnaround and CXMT's direct challenge to Samsung and SK Hynix makes it a major story in the AI-driven semiconductor race.
