ACM Research (ACMR): Dirty Business
J Capital, 08 October 2020
We believe ACM Research (ACMR) is a fraud, over-reporting both revenue and profit. What real profit the company has is apparently being siphoned off to related parties.
ACMR faces a cash crunch even with a reported $86 mln in the bank. ACMR is borrowing at high rates of interest, and the company is pushing to IPO substantially all the company assets in Shanghai in order to raise cash. This will significantly dilute U.S. investors.
We visited ACMR sites in China, Korea, and California, accessed credit reports on ACMR subsidiaries, reviewed ACMR’s exchanges with Shanghai regulators, and conducted more than 40 interviews.
