On September 1, KB LAMINATES fell 3.19% in regular trading, trading at 45.32 HKD/share, with turnover of 3.29 billion HKD. The decline marks a second consecutive session of pullback following an extraordinary surge of over 30% across four trading days from August 25 to 28.
The sharp prior rally was fueled by a confluence of bullish catalysts: the company reported H1 attributable net profit of HK$2.887 billion, up 209% year-over-year; it issued its seventh price-hike notice of the year, lifting FR-4 copper-clad laminate prices by 10% with cumulative increases exceeding 100%; and Citi raised its target price to 95 HKD while UBS lifted its target to 66 HKD. However, northbound funds net sold over HK$1.19 billion of shares on August 25, intensifying the tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Meanwhile, related party Kingboard Investments accumulated 2.5755 million shares across three consecutive days of purchases from August 25 to 27, signaling insider confidence, but short-term profit-taking from the steep run-up continues to weigh on the stock.
