FIT HON TENG's stock plummeted 5.37% intraday on Friday, as the optical communication sector faced sustained selling pressure.
The decline is attributed to continued profit-taking across the sector following a sharp rally driven by robust AI computing demand and optimistic outlooks from U.S. peers. A significant block trade of 700,000 shares at HKD 7.65, involving approximately HKD 5.355 million, also signaled potential institutional selling activity, adding to the bearish sentiment.
Market analysts view the pullback as a normal technical retracement within the broader oscillation pattern after the sector's rapid advance. Despite the company reporting strong fundamental performance, including a 37.6% year-over-year growth in cloud networking infrastructure revenue and a 94.0% surge in automotive segment revenue, short-term price action remains dominated by sector-wide adjustment dynamics. The stock's elevated valuation at roughly 20.7x forward P/E and uncertainties around earnings delivery have prompted caution among investors.
