VeriSilicon · 芯原微电子（上海）股份有限公司
EDA & IP Provider
Chinese name: 芯原微电子（上海）股份有限公司 (Xīnyuán Wēidiànzǐ (Shànghǎi) Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī)
Founded August 2001; the world’s seventh-largest silicon IP vendor by one industry ranking (IPnest, 2023), and China’s leading chip-design-service/IP-licensing firm — a different business model from every other entry in this tracker, since it designs chips for customers rather than selling its own branded product. Revenue has grown very fast but profitability has not followed: H1 2026 revenue reached ¥1.864 billion (+91.4% YoY, a record half-year, with chip量产 services +185%), while net loss widened to ¥612 million (roughly 91% worse than the prior year). Demand visibility sharpened in August: backlog stood at ¥12.45 billion at 30 June (+142.5% vs Q1-end, 83%+ from data-center/AI ASIC work) and ¥15.14 billion of new orders were booked 1 January–17 August — and management issued its first-ever profit outlook (adjusted EBITDA positive in H2 2026; adjusted net profit positive in FY2027). Its UCIe die-to-die PHY IP passed silicon validation inside customer projects, and an H-share listing A1 was filed with HKEX on 1 April 2026 (CITIC/UBS), pending CSRC and HKEX clearance.
