On August 4, KB LAMINATES rose 3.67% in regular trading, trading at 31.22 HKD/share, with turnover of HK$550 million, showing signs of stabilization after consecutive sessions of decline.
On the news front, the company issued a positive profit alert on July 30, projecting first-half net profit to exceed HK$2.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of over 200%. The surge was primarily driven by tight supply conditions for copper-clad laminates and upstream materials — including electronic fiberglass yarn, electronic fiberglass fabric, and copper foil — resulting in broad-based price increases alongside higher sales volumes. The company noted that supply shortages are intensifying further.
The stock had previously surged to HK$36.5 on July 31 following the profit alert before reversing sharply, with intraday amplitude exceeding 20% amid heavy selling pressure from major shareholders. Subsequent sessions saw continued declines to the HK$28-29 range. The current rebound is supported by a broader PCB sector recovery, with Kingboard Holdings gaining 2.91% and other sector peers trading higher in tandem.
