Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT), the largest memory-chip manufacturer in China, told investors in a renewed prospectus that it anticipates first-half revenue between 110 billion yuan and 120 billion yuan, and that net profit attributable to shareholders could reach as high as 57 billion yuan. The company attributed the improved outlook to sharply higher memory-chip prices and expanding output and sales.
CXMT said global demand for dynamic random-access memory - DRAM - has outstripped supply as computing demand continues to rise and major producers have adjusted production. That imbalance, the company said, has driven DRAM prices markedly higher since the second half of 2025. The firm also pointed to an improved product mix as a contributor to rising revenue.
In the first quarter, CXMT recorded a substantial year-on-year revenue increase of more than 700%, reporting 50.8 billion yuan for the period. The company returned to profit in Q1 with net profit of 25 billion yuan, compared with a net loss of 1.6 billion yuan in the same quarter a year earlier.
The broader memory market backdrop has been influenced by an upswing in computing-chip demand tied to artificial intelligence applications, which market participants have described as triggering a memory supercycle. That rally in memory prices helped push Samsung Electronics' market capitalization above 1 trillion dollars in May, according to figures cited in the prospectus. The document included a conversion reference of 1 US dollar equaling 6.8092 Chinese yuan.
CXMT's listing process has attracted attention from foreign investors and industry observers who see the company's initial public offering as a measure of China's progress in producing DRAM devices. The Hefei-based manufacturer said the rapid revenue gains reflect both expanded production capacity and higher sales, alongside shifts in its product mix toward more valuable offerings.
Financial snapshot and recent operating performance
- First-half revenue guidance: 110 billion to 120 billion yuan.
- Potential H1 net profit attributable to shareholders: up to 57 billion yuan.
- Q1 revenue: 50.8 billion yuan, an increase of more than 700% year on year.
- Q1 net profit: 25 billion yuan versus a net loss of 1.6 billion yuan in the prior-year quarter.
Market context
CXMT links its stronger outlook to rising DRAM prices driven by demand growth in computing and production adjustments by major chipmakers. The company highlighted that DRAM supply has not kept pace with demand, a dynamic that has pushed prices sharply higher since the second half of 2025.
Implications
Investors and industry watchers are using CXMT's IPO filing as an indicator of China's capabilities in DRAM production at a time when memory components are increasingly important for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence workloads.
