Thai DR Listing Opens New Way To Assess SMIC Valuation And Momentum

• Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SEHK:981) is now accessible to Thai investors via newly listed depositary receipts on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
• The DRs give investors in Thailand indirect exposure to SMIC shares that trade in Hong Kong at around HK$61.8.
• This cross border listing move broadens access to SMIC equity and may affect trading activity in its Hong Kong listed shares over time.

For you as an investor, the new Thai DRs open another route into Semiconductor Manufacturing International, which remains primarily traded in Hong Kong under SEHK:981 at about HK$61.8 per share. The stock has seen mixed recent performance, with a 1 year return of 13.2% but declines of 9.1% over the past week, 10.1% over the past month, and 17.7% year to date. Over a 3 year period, the return has been very large, while the 5 year return stands at 142.4%.

The Thai listing could increase attention on SMIC from a wider pool of regional investors who prefer trading on their home exchange. As liquidity develops in the DRs, you may want to track how pricing in Thailand compares with Hong Kong and whether trading volumes in either market shift in response.

Key Considerations

• 📊 The new Thai DRs give you another venue to access SMIC at around HK$61.8, which could support liquidity over time across both markets.
• 📊 Watch how the Thai DR price tracks the Hong Kong line, as well as any change in volumes, the analyst target of HK$75.86, and the current P/E of about 102 versus the industry average of about 31.
• ⚠️ One flagged minor risk is that results have been affected by large one off items, so you may want to separate underlying performance from those temporary impacts when you review the numbers.
