On July 23, VGT rose 4.76% in regular trading, trading at 234.0 HKD/share, with turnover of 41.189 million HKD.

On the news front, JPMorgan recently reiterated its Overweight rating on the company with a target price of 500 HKD, arguing the market has overreacted to short-term headwinds. The bank noted the current share price has already pulled back over 50% from its May peak, fully pricing in uncertainties, and expects accelerating earnings growth in the second half to serve as a catalyst.

Simultaneously, the company announced a restricted A-share incentive plan granting up to 4.8624 million shares to 1,545 employees at 155.94 yuan per share, alongside an employee stock ownership plan raising up to 700 million yuan. Performance targets require net profit growth of no less than 40% in the current year and 174.4% by 2028, signaling management confidence in sustained high growth. Additionally, the broader PCB sector continues to recover, with copper clad laminate and upstream electronic cloth prices rising in tandem, supporting improved industry sentiment.
