KEY FACTS

Suiyuan Technology surged on its debut on the STAR Market, completing the listing lineup for China's four leading domestic GPU firms.
As of September 11, the combined market capitalization of Moore Threads and its three peers reached 613.2 billion yuan.
All four companies reported rapid revenue growth in the first half of the year but remained unprofitable when excluding non-recurring items.
Nvidia's share of China's AI chip market has dropped to approximately 8%, with domestic alternatives now accounting for over half the market amid intensifying competition.
Moore Threads' stock price has fallen more than 60% from its peak, facing selling pressure from upcoming lock-up expirations.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

After the initial capital frenzy, reality sets in as China's domestic GPU sector enters a life-or-death struggle between scale and profitability. While the dividend of substitution has been realized, these four challengers face squeezing from mature rivals like Cambricon and must prove they can overcome the trap of high R&D spending and low margins. Going public is merely an entry ticket; achieving self-sustaining cash flow before the wave of lock-up expirations will determine their final standing.
