On July 31, KINGBOARD HLDG rose 15.52% in regular trading, trading at HK$43.66/share, with turnover of HK$609 million. The surge was driven by the company's profit alert released on July 30 evening.

According to the announcement, KINGBOARD HLDG expects net profit exceeding HK$2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, representing a year-over-year increase of over 4%. The core highlight is the copper clad laminate (CCL) segment, which reported profit growth exceeding 200% compared to the same period last year, serving as the primary earnings driver. However, the gains were partially offset by a loss of approximately HK$500 million in the investment segment during the reporting period. The company noted that post-reporting period stock market recovery has already lifted investment segment performance above prior-year levels, though this improvement will not be reflected in interim results.

The company is scheduled to formally release its interim results on August 24. Within the Electronic Components sector, KB LAMINATES rose 16.33%, VGT rose 10.58%, and CCTC rose 12.17%, indicating broad-based sector strength.
