Unigroup Guoxin Microelectronics · 紫光国芯微电子股份有限公司
State-Backed Design House
Chinese name: 紫光国芯微电子股份有限公司 (Zǐguāng Guówēi)
China’s specialty-IC national champion — the chip backbone of defense/avionics — and the profitable exception among design houses: FY2025 revenue ¥61.46亿 (+11.5%), net ¥14.37亿 at 55.6% gross margin; H1 2026 revenue ¥34.43亿 (+13.0%), net ¥7.98亿 (+15.3%). January 2026: agreed to buy power-semi maker 瑞能半导体 (NXP/WeEn lineage) for ¥1.9 billion (¥1.52bn in shares at ¥61.45 + ¥380m cash), extending the portfolio into power discretes and, since 瑞能 owns wafer fabs, from pure fabless toward ‘fabless+IDM’ — the deal was accepted by the SZSE on 15 June 2026 and a revised draft (audit base rolled to 30 June) was disclosed 12 September, still short of a clearance vote as of 11 October. August 2026: its 紫光同芯 unit launched a next-gen ‘satellite-terrestrial converged’ AI eSIM with China Unicom.
