In 2018, SHLQ Technology Group has occupied 46% of the global memory interface market; in 2019, this proportion has exceeded 50%.
In the latest Hurun China Top 500 Private Enterprises List, SHLQ successfully made the list, with a market value of 90.5 billion yuan. From this point of view, the industry is very optimistic about the future development of SHLQ.
SHLQ was established in 2000 and is a leading IC design company in China. Although it has not been established for a long time, it has already achieved many dazzling achievements. For example, SHLQ's DDR3 and DDR4 memory full buffer solutions have been recognized by Intel.
At the same time, SHLQ is the only supplier in the world that implements a full buffer solution from DDR2 to DDR4.
In 2013, SHLQ successfully developed the first-generation DDR4 memory interface. Today, its DDR5 memory interface has also completed tapeout and functional verification, and mass production is expected from 2021 to 2022.
Today, Intel and Samsung are both SHLQ customers. Moreover, in order to ensure the development of the company's business, the two subsidiaries hold 9% and 1% of SHLQ's equity respectively.
The development of SHLQ did not disappoint. In 2019, SHLQ achieved sales revenue of 1.738 billion. In this year, SHLQ is expected to achieve revenue of 2.165 billion yuan and net profit of 1.147 billion yuan.
It is worth noting that thanks to SHLQ's leading position in the memory interface market, its gross profit margin is relatively high and showing a trend of continuous growth. In the second quarter of this year, SHLQ's gross profit margin increased to 73.7%.
Why does SHLQ have such outstanding performance? This is inseparable from SHLQ's unremitting pursuit of research and development.
Over the years, SHLQ's R&D investment has always exceeded 15% of its revenue, which allows it to master many independent intellectual property rights. The core technology of Lanqi Technology depends entirely on self-research, which is its development advantage and guarantees the safety of its own development.
