Shennan Circuits Co., Ltd.

China · SZSE: 002916.SZ · Market cap: $21.3B · P/E: 30.5 · P/S: 4.3

Shennan Circuits makes printed circuit boards and chip packaging substrates that go into phones, servers, cars, and other electronics.

Shennan Circuits makes the hidden plumbing of modern electronics. Its printed circuit boards are the green (or blue, or black) boards that hold and connect chips, and its packaging substrates are the tiny, extremely precise boards that sit directly under a chip and carry its signals out into the rest of the device. Almost nobody buys these things directly, but nearly every phone, server, car, and base station contains them.

Printed circuit boards
Printed circuit boards carry and connect the chips inside most electronics.

The company sells to electronics manufacturers and chip companies, mostly in China but also abroad. Customers pay for reliability and precision: a board with a tiny flaw can ruin an entire expensive device, so buyers stick with suppliers they trust. Shennan's specialty is the hard end of the market — high-layer-count boards and substrates for servers, networking gear, and automotive electronics — where fewer factories can compete and margins are better than in commodity boards. The business runs on capital. Building a substrate plant costs a fortune, and Shennan has been pouring money into new capacity, especially in packaging substrates for advanced chips, where demand has been strong. That spending is both the growth engine and the risk: if demand cools or a new plant ramps slowly, profits get squeezed. Its customers are demanding and its competitors are capable, so Shennan has to keep improving its technology just to stay in place.


The company is headquartered in Shenzhen, China's electronics heartland, which puts it close to both customers and a deep supply chain. Its shares trade on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and it pays dividends to shareholders while continuing to fund expansion. If you want a simple way to think about it: Shennan sells the scaffolding that lets chips talk to the rest of the world, and it gets paid for being very, very good at the unglamorous parts.
