The operating rate of SMM primary lead smelter in the three provinces was 59.6%, up 2.9% over the same period, Henan primary lead smelter was 76.2%, up 1.0% over the same period, Yunnan primary lead smelter was 37.8%, up 9.1% over the same period, and Hunan primary lead smelter was 43.3%, 2.2% higher than the same period.

SMM10 11: according to SMM (SMM) research, this week (October 7-October 11)

According to SMM research, the operating rate of primary lead smelters rose month-on-month on Wednesday. With the increase in domestic processing fees and import processing fees, the production profits of domestic smelters have been repaired, so some refineries have begun to raise production plans one after another. In addition, smelters in Henan, Yunnan and other regions have completed maintenance, so the operating rate of primary lead refineries in the three places has increased month-on-month.

【Flash | Lumentum Commits $87 Million to Secure AXT’s InP Wafer Capacity Through 2031】

AXT and Lumentum signed a binding capacity reservation agreement for Indium Phosphide (InP) wafer substrates through December 31, 2031. AXT will reserve minimum annual product capacity and support additional capacity, while Lumentum will provide two $43.5 million deposits, totaling $87 million, to be applied as shipment credits. Lumentum is liable for annual purchase shortfalls, subject to specified exceptions, while AXT’s failure to deliver minimum capacity constitutes a material breach. SMM views the six-year commitment as a firm demand signal for InP substrates and high-purity indium. Wafer volumes, diameter mix and corresponding indium consumption were not disclosed.

【Flash | Semtech Adds Cleanroom Space as InP Photonics Demand Ramps】

Semtech said in its Aug. 25 earnings presentation that its data-center photonics portfolio spans gain chips, high-power CW lasers, SOAs and high-speed photodiodes, while it has secured FY2027 equipment deliveries and acquired additional cleanroom space. Semtech acquired HieFo in March, adding US-based InP gain-chip and DFB-laser manufacturing. Q2 FY2027 data-center sales reached $100 million, up 39% QoQ and 91% YoY; Q3 sales are targeted to rise 45% QoQ and 160% YoY. SMM believes the buildout supports medium-term demand for InP and high-purity indium, although no nameplate capacity or indium consumption was disclosed.
