Yamato published a report that under the strong demand from Malaysia, the bank has a more positive view on IWC's revenue growth next year. In addition, the bank believes that the external financing of operating GDSI, a data center outside the mainland, will release shareholder value. However, as GDSI will be separated from IWC's consolidated statements in the fourth quarter of this year, the bank believes that IWC's short-term re-evaluation will still mainly depend on its mainland business performance, so it still maintains a wait-and-see attitude. The bank maintained its "hold" rating on IWC, and its target price was raised from HK$ 8.6 to HK$ 20. Considering the increase in capital expenditure of IWC from 2025 to 2026, the bank raised its revenue forecast for this year and next by 5% to 24%, mainly due to the strong demand in the international market driven by short video platforms. In addition, in view of the fact that the company raised its capital expenditure guideline from 6.5 billion yuan to 11 billion yuan this year, the bank raised its capital expenditure forecast from 6.7 billion yuan to 11 billion yuan in 2024 and from 3.5 billion yuan to 10.5 billion yuan in 2025. In addition, the bank will raise the adjusted EBITDA forecast of IWC this year and next by 4% to 13% to consider the EBITDA contribution of its overseas business; It is estimated that the total revenue will increase by 15% this year (10% compared with the previous forecast) and 33% next year (15% compared with the previous forecast). The adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by 11% and 25% this year and next (8% and 15% compared with the previous forecast).
Intel: Breakthrough progress has been made in chip interconnection, and the inter-line capacitance has been reduced by 25%. Recently, Intel OEM announced a major breakthrough in on-chip interconnection technology. The latest subtractive Ruthenium interconnection technology of the company can reduce the inter-line capacitance by up to 25%, effectively improving the on-chip interconnection. According to reports, the subtractive ruthenium interconnection technology has achieved great progress in interconnection miniaturization by using ruthenium, a new, key and alternative metallization material, and using thin film resistivity and airgap. This process does not need an expensive photolithographic air gap exclusion zone around the via, and it can also avoid using a self-aligned via that is selectively etched. When the spacing is less than or equal to 25 nm, the air gap realized by reducing ruthenium interconnection technology can reduce the capacitance between lines by up to 25%, which can be used as a metallization scheme to replace copper damascene process in closely spaced layers. It is reported that this solution is expected to be applied in the future process nodes of Intel OEM.

Samsung has lowered its mobile phone production target to 229 million units next year. Samsung Electronics has set a mobile phone production target for 2025, and plans to produce about 229 million smartphones. This goal includes 179.4 million units produced by ourselves and 49.9 million units produced by joint design and manufacturing (JDM). Compared with the initial plan of 237 million units in October this year, this target has been lowered by 7-8 million units, only slightly higher than the shipment forecast for the whole year of 2024.Turkey imposes additional tax on Iranian flat glass imports.The opposition party in South Korea said that Yin Xiyue was insane. On the morning of December 12, local time, South Korean President Yin Xiyue made another televised speech, refused to step down early, and denied that martial law was a crime of civil strife. After Yin Xiyue's speech, public opinion in South Korea immediately criticized him. South Korea's largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, said that Yin Xiyue was mentally ill and called on the South Korean National Assembly to pass the impeachment case. After Yin Xiyue's speech, Han Dongxun, the representative of the ruling party in South Korea, also said that Yin Xiyue's speech had no introspection and was rationalizing his behavior. Some commentators pointed out that Yin Xiyue may have expected that he could not prevent the National Assembly from passing the impeachment case and was trying to influence the final ruling of the Constitutional Court. I am afraid that the chaos in Korean politics will continue.
