YOFC's stock price soared 6.43% during the intraday trading session, reflecting a significant upward movement.
The surge is attributed to robust demand and substantial price increases across the optical fiber and cable sector. Recent centralized procurements by telecom operators have seen bid price ceilings for some products surge by as much as 100% within two months, indicating a broad market trend of steep price hikes. An ongoing emergency procurement project, emphasizing shorter cycles, alongside previously suspended tenders, suggests widespread supply shortages in the industry.
Analysts point to rising demand from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and AI data centers, which has led to a shortage of high-specification fiber production capacity. In this supply-constrained environment, customers have shown less sensitivity to pricing. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are prioritizing the allocation of limited capacity to produce higher-value fiber optics, crowding out production for standard fiber used in traditional broadband. The emergence of AI agents and the rapid expansion in token usage are also expected to further drive telecommunications traffic, thereby boosting demand and prices for conventional optical fiber and cable.
