U.S. export restrictions may pose challenges for Inspur’s server market leadership in the long term.

March 31, 2023

Key Takeaways:

 

  • US government's export restrictions against Inspur may cause minimal supply chain impact in the near term, as Inspur's high inventory and positive outlook for server demand recovery in China may mitigate the impact.
  • However, the restrictions may have long-term consequences, with Inspur's dominance in the server and AI systems market potentially being replaced by H3C and Lenovo.
  • Inspur may focus on ODM-direct services for Chinese clients and continue to work with Alibaba and Baidu in delivering custom-silicon servers.
