Gate News message, April 22 — Cambricon, a Chinese AI chip designer, held its 2025 annual earnings briefing today, with Chairman and CEO Chen Tianshi and Board Secretary Ye Haoyin addressing investor concerns on domestic AI chip competition, customer composition shifts, inventory growth, and pending litigation involving former executives.
When asked whether the company has a chance to achieve 10 billion yuan in revenue this year, Chen Tianshi did not provide specific guidance but expressed optimism on industry trends. He noted that accelerating large language model innovation is driving sustained growth in intelligent computing demand, and that Cambricon has already secured recognition from industry customers.
Regarding supply chain risks for advanced domestic chip manufacturing capacity, Chen emphasized that Cambricon's core technologies are developed independently and protected by proprietary intellectual property. To mitigate risks, the company plans to leverage industrial policies and maintain long-term, broad, and cooperative relationships with upstream and downstream partners while preparing contingency measures to ensure business continuity.
