On September 4, KINGBOARD HLDG fell 3.33% in regular trading, trading at HK$50.7/share, with turnover of HK$422 million. The decline came amid continued profit-taking pressure across the copper clad laminate (CCL) sector after a period of densely packed positive catalysts had been fully absorbed by the market.
Specifically, subsidiary KB Laminates had issued seven price-hike notices year-to-date, with cumulative increases exceeding 100% on FR-4 CCL products. Citigroup and Bank of America had successively raised target prices and reiterated buy ratings, but these catalysts have now been fully priced in, leaving the sector short of fresh upside drivers in the near term. Peer KB Laminates fell 3.13% in tandem, underscoring broad sector weakness. Meanwhile, a large custody transfer on September 2 involving 25.87 million shares worth approximately HK$2.54 billion from Citibank to HSBC also weighed on short-term sentiment, despite Chairman Zhang Guorong having increased his personal stake by 20,000 shares at HK$51.85 on September 1.
