Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (KYG8020E1199) issued 36,300 shares on October 13, 2026 under its 2024 Share Award Plan. Futu reported the transaction.

Three dated stock events

On August 14, 2026, SMIC reported second-quarter revenue of USD 3,006 million, up 20.00 percent sequentially, while gross margin reached 25.30 percent. Yahoo Finance carried the earnings-call transcript and management guidance.

On October 7, 2026, SMIC's monthly securities return showed an increase of approximately 1.1937 million issued shares during September, including 162,400 Hong Kong-listed shares. Futu published the filing summary.

On October 13, 2026, the company issued the additional 36,300 shares to a non-director after restricted stock units were exercised. The transaction is small beside the company's operating scale, but it gives investors a dated view of equity-based compensation.

What does the revenue guide mean?

The guide points to continued expansion, but the margin target is the sharper test. SMIC expects third-quarter gross margin of 26.00 to 28.00 percent after reporting 25.30 percent in the second quarter, according to Yahoo Finance. The second-quarter transcript also recorded wafer shipments up 14.40 percent sequentially and blended average selling prices up 5.70 percent.

A separate Economic Times report dated August 14, 2026 said SMIC had raised prices for sought-after capacity. It also reported utilization of 93.70 percent in the second quarter, leaving execution and pricing power central to the next results cycle.

Hong Kong valuation remains the market anchor

SMIC was last at HKD 46.74 on HKEX on October 22, 2026 at 3:50 p.m. HKT, with a 52-week range of HKD 46.66 to HKD 93.00. Its market capitalization was HKD 472.9 billion on the same date. The figures frame a company with stronger operating metrics but a demanding test ahead for margins and capacity utilization.
