Chinese hardware technology stocks face a critical earnings season as investors question whether the record rally in the chip-heavy STAR 50 Index can be sustained. The index has surged 64% this quarter, driven by AI infrastructure spending and Beijing's support for homegrown tech champions, but earnings estimates have risen only about 4%, leaving it trading at a record 69 times forward earnings. Fund managers warn that sentiment may be near a temporary peak, with money already rotating into niche AI supply-chain areas. Early earnings previews have been positive, with Satellite Chemical projecting up to 155% first-half profit growth and Hangzhou Chang Chuan Technology expecting net income to at least double. Analysts at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley remain bullish on mainland-listed shares, citing stronger earnings performance and a higher concentration of hardware tech names compared to Hong Kong.
