[SMM Flash] On August 12, SMM learned that two leading silicon wafer enterprises have successively resumed quotations, with the latest prices as follows:

N-type wafer—183mm: 0.9 yuan/piece

N-type wafer—210R: 1 yuan/piece

N-type wafer—210mm: 1.2 yuan/piece

The new round of wafer quotations has increased by 0.1 yuan/piece compared to the previous level. SMM analysis indicates that this round of wafer price hikes is closely related to cost policies. The actual procurement costs of wafer enterprises have shifted upward, corresponding to rising furnace input costs, making the wafer price increase within reason.

【Flash | Lumentum’s AI Optical Growth Supports the Indium Phosphide (InP) Demand Outlook】

Lumentum reported fiscal Q4 2026 revenue of $1.006 billion, up 24.5% QoQ and 109.3% YoY. Components revenue reached $649.4 million, rising 102.7% YoY. The company said increasing AI compute speed and bandwidth requirements are driving greater use of optical connectivity in datacenters, alongside accelerating 1.6T cloud-module adoption and growing demand for ultra-high-power CPO lasers. Its fiscal Q1 2027 revenue guidance midpoint reached $1.25 billion. SMM views the expansion of high-speed optical modules and lasers as providing downstream demand support for InP and high-purity indium. However, Lumentum did not disclose InP-specific revenue, shipments or indium consumption, preventing a quantitative estimate of demand growth.
