WUS profit surges on AI PCB demand, then sector-wide AI spending scare hits

  • First-half profit jumps 74% on AI-driven PCB demand WUS reported first-half net profit of 2.923 billion yuan, up 73.72%, with revenue up 61.17%. High-layer PCBs (32+ layers) surged about 191% and gross margin rose to 40.52%. Strong earnings confirm the AI server buildout is flowing through to real profits, supporting the stock.

    The interim report is the period's core company-specific positive and shows why earnings power is rising.

  • Goldman sharply raises AI server PCB market forecast Goldman Sachs lifted its 2027 AI server PCB market forecast 38% to $37.5 billion and sees $84 billion by 2028, citing more PCB layers and higher-end materials. A bigger addressable market for AI server boards supports WUS's growth outlook and lifted PCB shares broadly.

    It explains the demand backdrop that underpins WUS's growth and investor enthusiasm for PCB makers.

  • Early profit preview flagged 68-78% growth, Thailand turning profitable Before the interim report, WUS guided first-half net profit up 68%-78%, with its Thailand plant turning profitable in the second quarter. The overseas plant reduces reliance on China production and adds capacity for global customers, a structural positive for future earnings.

    It shows the earnings beat was foreshadowed and highlights overseas expansion as a growth driver.

  • OpenAI revenue-gap panic slams AI hardware, PCB stocks fall 6%+ A reported ~$20 billion gap between OpenAI's actual annualized revenue and expectations triggered a broad selloff in AI hardware. WUS and other PCB names dropped more than 6% in one day. This is sentiment-driven, not a change in WUS's business, but it shows how sensitive the stock is to AI spending fears.

    It is the main counterweight this period, showing the key risk to the AI-demand story that drives WUS.

Ronbay Swings to Profit, Expands Sodium-Ion Capacity

  • First-half profit turnaround Ronbay returned to profit with 109 million yuan net income, versus a loss last year, as revenue rose 39.57% on higher shipments and better overseas plant use. This shows the core business is recovering, which supports the stock price.

    This is the key financial result that directly improves investor confidence and valuation.

  • Sodium-ion cathode expansion Ronbay plans to invest 4.723 billion yuan in a 300,000-tonne sodium-ion cathode plant, with first phase starting August 2026. Sodium-ion products are already shipping at scale, positioning the company for future growth beyond lithium.

    This major investment signals a new growth engine and long-term capacity leadership.

  • Lithium manganese iron phosphate full production The company's LMFP business is running at full capacity with all output sold, and sales rose about 50% year-on-year. This high-demand product line boosts revenue and shows strong market acceptance.

    It highlights a key product driving current sales and profitability.

  • Industry-wide capacity expansion risk Rising material prices have triggered about 30 billion yuan of new projects across the battery supply chain, including Ronbay's. While this meets current demand, it could lead to oversupply and margin pressure later, a risk to watch.

    It provides a balanced view of the competitive and pricing risks from collective expansion.
