In other recent news, ACM Research has been in the spotlight following a favorable assessment from Kerrisdale Capital. The evaluation, which described the company as an emerging high-growth opportunity, led to a surge in ACM Research’s stock. Kerrisdale Capital highlighted ACM Research’s role as a top supplier of wafer cleaning tools in China, and its significant contribution to the expansion of the domestic semiconductor manufacturing industry.

In recent developments, the company’s revenue has multiplied tenfold over the past six years, a response to U.S. export restrictions aimed at limiting semiconductor technology transfer to China. Kerrisdale Capital anticipates that ACM Research will continue its rapid growth within the Chinese market and evolve into a formidable competitor to global wafer fabrication equipment players.

The report also emphasized the discrepancy between the company’s valuation in China and its NASDAQ listing, indicating a significant undervaluation and potential for growth in the U.S. market. Kerrisdale Capital suggests that ACM Research’s shares could potentially reach a market capitalization of $10+ billion, considering its ownership of 82% of its publicly listed subsidiary in China, ACM Research (Shanghai) Inc.
