YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance

A Chinese memory-interface fabless firm, top-3 globally in DDR5 RCD (register clock driver), tied directly to expanding AI-server and DDR5 adoption. The thesis has two axes — RCD is required in every high-capacity DRAM module of an AI server, lifting volume (2025 revenue +50%), while CXL MXC and PCIe retimers open a new axis in next-gen memory expansion. Risks are capacity dependence from a design-only, TSMC-outsourced model and the memory cycle, and in graph terms Samsung/SK Hynix DDR5-module demand transmits into Montage RCD.
