Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation is scheduled to release its unaudited third-quarter results after trading on Thursday, November 12, 2026. In an earnings preview published on Friday, November 6, Futu News said analysts expect revenue of USD 3.09 billion for the quarter, up 29.92 percent from a year earlier.
The next earnings checkpoint
The report will cover the three months ended September 30, 2026. It is expected to give investors the next detailed view of demand, production activity and profitability at the Chinese wafer foundry.
Futu News also cited an analyst estimate of USD 0.05 in earnings per share, representing year-on-year growth of 135 percent. The estimates are based on IAS accounting standards and remain subject to comparison with the company's unaudited figures.
Why the release matters
SMIC's second-quarter performance established a strong comparison point for the new report. Investors will look for evidence that revenue expansion is translating into sustainable earnings and whether the company can maintain operating momentum in a market shaped by artificial intelligence demand, capacity constraints and technology restrictions.
The board meeting and results release are separate milestones: the board is expected to approve the unaudited figures before publication, while the investor briefing is scheduled for the following day. Management commentary will help clarify the outlook beyond the reported quarter.
