KB Laminates (01888) experienced a significant surge of 7.25% during intraday trading on Tuesday, marking a notable rebound in its stock price.
The sharp rise is attributed to a technical rebound following a prolonged and steep selloff. The previous decline was triggered by intensive share disposals from multiple company directors and sector-wide pressure from reports suggesting delays in NVIDIA's Kyber NVL144 system due to PCB manufacturing complexity, which affected the entire PCB sector.
Fundamentally, the company has demonstrated strong pricing power by issuing its sixth price increase notice this year, raising FR-4 prices by 15% and copper foil value-added profit by over 25%. This positive development, coupled with Citi maintaining a Buy rating and raising its target price to HK$130, has helped ease market panic sentiment that had built up during the consecutive declines.
