Pre-market theme to check: ASIC / custom chips
Recent leading mover: DB HiTek (000990) -
Why watch ASIC / custom chips before the open
ASIC / custom chips include nonstandard semiconductors and the related design, verification, and fab ecosystem for specific uses such as networking, communications, AI acceleration, and crypto mining.
Rising demand for custom chips comes from the need to maximize performance and power efficiency in data centers, telecom equipment, edge devices, and AI accelerators.
08:40 is a good time to narrow pre-order themes.
This note is not a buy signal, but a checklist to decide which intraday news and flows to check first.
Intraday checkpoints
Momentum carryover: confirm whether ASIC / custom chip names remain stronger than the theme average after the open.
Leader-to-laggard spread: check if only the representative name is rising or if 2nd, 3rd tier names also participate.
News and volume confirmation: moves accompanied by trading volume matter more than simple gap highs.

Risks
If the ASIC / custom chip theme has already surged, monitoring whether volume holds during pullbacks is more important than chasing the opening price.
Early session theme strength can change quickly, so check index direction, FX, and US futures alongside the theme.
Monitor intraday recovery for names that lagged over the recent 5 trading days such as SFA Semiconductor (056190).
