Stock Track | Kingboard Holdings Soars 5.40% Intraday on CCL Supply Crunch and Citigroup Target Price Hike

Stock Track05-26 09:44

Kingboard Holdings' stock surged 5.40% during intraday trading on Tuesday, reflecting strong investor interest in the company.

The rally is primarily attributed to a severe supply-demand imbalance in the global copper clad laminate (CCL) market. Korean PCB manufacturers have engaged in panic buying, with pre-order volumes reaching five times normal monthly levels, while delivery cycles for high-end products have extended significantly. This tightness has driven prices sharply higher, with Korean March CCL import average prices surging 74.5% year-over-year. Kingboard Laminates has demonstrated strong pricing power, raising prices three times year-to-date with cumulative increases exceeding 40%.

Adding to the positive sentiment, Citigroup raised its target price for Kingboard Holdings from HKD 48 to HKD 65, reiterated a "Buy" rating, and lifted earnings forecasts by 50% to 61%. The bank noted the company's current price-to-book ratio of merely 0.8x suggests significant valuation recovery potential. The positive sector momentum was also evident as peer stocks moved higher in tandem.
