The glass and basic materials sector saw renewed activity today, with the sector's leading player, Boe Technology Group Co.,Ltd. (000725.SZ), opening higher and continuing to climb, hitting the daily limit-up in a rare straight-line surge around midday. As of 14:05, its shares were trading at 6.15 yuan per share, giving the company a total market capitalization of 226.4 billion yuan. The stock has accumulated gains of over 46% since the start of the year.
Boe Technology Group Co.,Ltd. is a leader in the display panel industry, possessing leading capabilities in display devices, display modules, advanced manufacturing, process development, application innovation, and industrial implementation.
The company is often humorously referred to by investors as the "retail investor stronghold" due to its vast shareholder base. For such a large-cap stock, which rarely sees significant participation from speculative hot money, hitting a daily limit-up is an uncommon occurrence.
Recent reports indicate that the Indian government announced that chip giant Intel and 3D Glass Solutions (3DGS) will invest approximately $3.3 billion to establish a semiconductor substrate manufacturing plant in Odisha, a state in eastern India. Previously, Boe Technology Group Co.,Ltd. announced it had signed a memorandum of cooperation with global materials leader Corning Incorporated. The two parties will collaborate in key areas such as glass-based packaging substrates, foldable glass, perovskite glass substrates, and optical interconnect-related applications.
On the 3rd, during an institutional research session, Boe Technology Group Co.,Ltd. stated that the company invested 993 million yuan in 2024 to build a pilot production line for glass-based packaging substrates. Samples have already been delivered to some domestic clients, with some having passed the conceptual verification stage and entered technical testing. As of now, the company has not yet achieved mass production. This business has not generated revenue from mass production, and the yield rate of the pilot line has not yet reached mass production levels. When it might achieve this remains highly uncertain.
In a separate announcement on June 2nd regarding share buyback progress, Boe Technology Group Co.,Ltd. disclosed that as of May 31st, it had cumulatively repurchased 11.32 million B-shares for a total amount of approximately 49.99 million Hong Kong dollars.
