Yamato: Raising the target price of IWC to HK$ 20 has a more positive view on next year's revenue growth. 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).Sources: The Bank of Japan tends to keep interest rates unchanged next week. Five sources familiar with the Bank of Japan's thinking said that the Bank of Japan tends to keep interest rates unchanged next week because policymakers tend to spend more time examining overseas risks and clues about salary increase next year. Any similar decision will increase the possibility that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates at its meeting in January or March next year, when there will be more information about the wage increase next year. The source also said that there was no consensus within the Bank of Japan on the final decision, and some people in the Committee still believed that Japan had met the conditions for raising interest rates in December. This decision will depend on each member's belief in the possibility of achieving wage-driven sustained price increases in Japan. If upcoming events, such as next week's meeting of the Federal Reserve, trigger another sharp fall in the yen, thus intensifying inflationary pressure, the Bank of Japan may also agree to raise interest rates. But overall, many BoJ policymakers seem to be in no hurry to pull the trigger.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. (Sina Technology)
