Ten Mainland Chinese and Hong Kong technology companies attended Citi's Pan-Asia Conference 2026 held in Singapore last week. Key takeaways are as follows: (1) For the iOS supply chain, memory and FX headwinds are manageable, but pressure has been noted since 2Q26; (2) Upcoming foldable smartphones will drive major hardware specification upgrades; (3) Demand for AI edge devices is gaining growth momentum, benefiting leading vendors; (4) Visibility for AI smart glasses equipped with displays is improving; (5) AI demand is propelling a recovery in semiconductors across data centers, networks and the automotive sector, offsetting cyclical weakness; (6) Data center hardware demand is growing strongly, with suppliers expanding capacity for high-margin products; (7) AI software and IT services are growing rapidly, shifting toward scalable token-based monetization models to enhance margins.

Among the companies covered that attended the conference, Citi assigned Buy ratings to ASMPT (00522.HK), LUXSHARE PRECISION (002475.SZ), LENS (06613.HK), OMNIVISION (603501.SH) and CONANT OPTICAL (02276.HK).
