During the review period, high-end fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) developed rapidly, and the demand for emerging electronic products based on the AI concept was particularly strong. The prices of copper-clad laminates and their upstream materials, including electronic glass fiber yarn, electronic glass fiber cloth, and copper foil, were raised multiple times during the period, with price increases accelerating in the second quarter. Some copper-clad laminate companies in the market faced localized production stoppages due to a lack of electronic glass fiber cloth, but the group possesses a complete vertically integrated industrial chain, resulting in an increase in the sales volume of copper-clad laminates as compared to the same period in 2025, with significant growth in departmental profits year-on-year. Additionally, the group expedited customer certifications for its high-end products, attracting a large number of high-quality clients in the market, with a vast client network continuing to expand and move towards higher-end offerings.
