ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) reported first-quarter revenue of 50.8 billion yuan ($7.5 billion). This total represents a 719% increase over the previous year. Net profit reached 24.76 billion yuan ($3.6 billion). This performance marks a 1,688% surge. The results reverse a net loss from the previous year.

Global memory chip shortages and surging AI demand drove the record financials. CXMT now ranks as the world’s fourth-largest DRAM producer. The company’s growth poses a direct threat to market leaders Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

The Hefei-based chipmaker is currently preparing for an initial public offering. CXMT plans to list on Shanghai’s STAR Market.
