Jiantao Laminates, as the world's leading traditional FR4 copper-clad board supplier, will become a major beneficiary.
UBS released a research report stating that it has initiated coverage of KB LAMINATES (01888) with a "Buy" rating, believing that the approximately 60% decline in stock price since June's high presents an attractive opportunity, setting a target price of HK$58. The demand for AI is driving tighter supply of copper-clad laminates (CCL) and upstream raw materials, and KB LAMINATES, as the world's leading traditional FR4 copper-clad laminate supplier, will be a major beneficiary. The report pointed out that even if this round of the traditional copper-clad laminate upcycle comes to an end, it does not expect the company's profits to decline as they have in past cycles, because the company is expanding its AI-related upstream materials and copper-clad laminate business, which will bring new structural growth momentum. Its vertically integrated business model is also a key differentiation advantage.
