Investment Thesis

I. Quartz e-glass fabric may enter a volume “year one”

Gen-3 low-Dk fabric strengths:

  • High-purity quartz fiber substrate
  • Very low dielectric constant
  • Ultra-low dissipation factor
  • Excellent high-temperature performance
  • Very low CTE

Trend: As chip vendors roll out rack architectures, cable-free inside the rack may become mainstream. To close the performance gap vs. copper cabling, quartz e-glass fabric is a leading candidate.

Demand: AI, high-frequency comms, etc. → potential step-up in quartz fabric pull; inflection approaching.

Company: Among the few domestic suppliers — positioned to benefit.

II. Dual-use quartz glass leader; full-chain optionality

Position:

  • One of few global players with volume quartz glass fiber
  • Early domestic quartz supplier qualified into semiconductor fab supply chains
  • Leading supplier of quartz glass fiber for aerospace

Portfolio:

  • Vapor-phase, synthetic, and electric-melt quartz materials & parts
  • Quartz glass fiber & 3D woven preforms
  • Composites based on quartz fiber

Products: ingots, cylinders, tubes, rods, plates, wafers, devices; quartz glass fiber lines.

End markets: semiconductor, aerospace, optics, solar, optical comms.

III. Operating inflection

History:

  • 2021–2023 revenue / net profit CAGR 30.71% / 20.53%
  • 2024 revenue -16.68%, net profit -41.56% (phased downstream softness + competition)

2025 turn:

  • 9M25 revenue 13.82 (RMB 100 mn), +5.17% YoY — semiconductor steady; aerospace orders recovering
  • Net profit 3.34 (RMB 100 mn), +42.23% YoY

Margins:

  • 2024 gross margin 42.17%, -7.31 ppt YoY
  • 9M25 gross 48.96%, +6.60 ppt YoY; net margin 22.47%, +3.92 ppt YoY

R&D: 9M25 R&D / revenue 14.32% — supports technology lead.

IV. Semiconductor: solid core growth

Quartz materials & parts are used across etch, diffusion, oxidation, etc., as carriers and chamber consumables.

Qualifications:

  • TEL, Lam, AMAT, and Hitachi High-Tech
  • Subsidiary Shanghai Shichuang quartz parts qualified on AMEC and NAURA tools

Under demand and localization policy, semiconductor quartz sales expected to grow steadily.

V. Defense: radome + thermal protection

Radomes: low Dk / low loss → high-performance airborne radomes; new fighters + legacy avionics upgrades.

TPS: quartz composites for re-entry / hypersonic thermal protection — potential volume as programs scale.

VI. Private placement: quartz e-glass yarn project

  • RMB 624 mn capex (equity raise up to RMB 300 mn)
  • 1,000 t/yr quartz e-glass yarn
  • Entity: Hubei Dingyi New Materials (wholly owned)
  • Post-tax project IRR 20.72%; payback 5.93 years (incl. construction)

Strategic: Yarn is the feedstock for quartz e-fabric; technical complexity → near-term supply gap. Project reinforces yarn + fabric integration.
