What Beken does

Chinese fabless designer of low-power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips for IoT and audio devices.

Fabless, so it outsources chip production to foundries and earns from per-chip sales into high-volume consumer products such as earphones and speakers, where chips sell cheaply and volume matters. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips for IoT devices (everyday objects connected to the internet) add a second source.

In one line: A smaller, China-based Qualcomm/Realtek for IoT wireless chips.

Products and services

  • Wi-Fi/BT SoCs
  • Audio codec chips

Customers

  • IoT device makers
  • Smart-home/audio OEMs

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Semiconductors
  • Wireless connectivity ICs (Wi-Fi/BT)

What could go right

  • IoT/smart-home device growth

What could go wrong

  • Chip-price competition, semiconductor cycles

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Fabless wireless-chip design IP built over years, though competitive vs larger rivals.

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.
