The power management chip market is experiencing a price increase wave, and since the second quarter, many concept stocks have been favored by margin trading funds.

Recently, the semiconductor price increase wave has gradually spread to the power management IC field. This round of price increase is not driven by strong terminal demand, but mainly forced by the rising costs in the wafer foundry and packaging and testing links. Previously, MCUs and driver ICs have taken the lead in raising prices, and now, power management ICs are officially following suit. In the first quarter, power management chip manufacturers such as Biyew Micro and Meixincheng, listed companies on the A-share market, have announced that to absorb market pressure, they will start raising prices in the first or second quarter. The main reason for the price increase is also the rise in upstream costs such as wafer foundry and raw materials. (Securities Times)
