What JHT Design does

Tianjin maker of integrated-circuit test handlers, machines that move and sort chips during final testing at packaging and test plants.

Sells test handlers, machines that feed packaged chips into testers and sort them by test result, mainly to chip packaging and test plants, so sales follow their equipment spending. Its handlers are sold in mainland China, Taiwan, Europe, the US and Southeast Asia.

Products and services

  • EXCEED-series pick-and-place test handlers
  • SUMMIT, COLLIE and NEOCEED handler series

Customers

  • Semiconductor packaging and test houses
  • Test foundries
  • IDM chipmakers
  • Chip-design companies

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Semiconductor equipment
  • Back-end test equipment
  • Test handlers

What could go right

  • Chip-testing demand from AI and automotive
  • Domestic substitution of imported handlers

What could go wrong

  • Semiconductor capex cycles
  • Competition from Japanese and US handler makers

Moat: narrow (customer qualification, process know-how). Handlers must be qualified in each customer's test line; switching means requalification.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
