KB Laminates (01888) saw its stock price soar 5.28% during intraday trading on Wednesday, marking a significant upward movement for the electronic components manufacturer.
The rally was driven by the company's recent announcement of a 10% price increase for all laminate and prepreg products, citing persistently elevated copper prices and tight glass cloth supply as primary factors. Additionally, sustained demand momentum from the ongoing buildout of AI computing clusters continues to drive robust growth in PCB demand, which in turn fuels increased consumption of copper clad laminates. Analyst sentiment has turned positive, with Citi recently raising its earnings forecasts and target price for the company.
