What SICC does

Maker of silicon-carbide (SiC) crystal substrates used in power semiconductors for EVs, solar inverters and industrial power.

Sells wafers sliced from silicon carbide crystal, a hard material that handles high voltage; because the crystal grows slowly and few come out usable, cost per good wafer drives results. Besides Chinese chip makers it supplies overseas customers, including Infineon under a supply agreement signed in 2023.

In one line: A Chinese Wolfspeed for SiC substrates.

What could go right

  • EV power-electronics adoption
  • SiC cost-down/localisation in China

What could go wrong

  • SiC pricing pressure/overcapacity
  • High capex intensity

Moat: narrow (process know-how, IP / patents, customer qualification). Early domestic leader in SiC crystal growth, a technically difficult process few Chinese firms have mastered.

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).
