AI demand lifts Shennan Circuits profits, but valuation fears bite

AI-driven PCB upcycle lifts Shennan Circuits Electronic fabric prices jumped 17-18% in August, their biggest monthly gain this year, as AI power supplies squeeze supply. Analysts say the global PCB industry is entering a new upcycle, with server PCB market space set to double to over 90 billion yuan in 2026. Shennan Circuits, a PCB maker, rose over 5% in the sector rally.
This is the core positive force behind the stock: AI demand driving PCB pricing and sector-wide gains.
First-half profit jumps 65.55% on AI orders Shennan Circuits reported first-half 2026 revenue of 15.296 billion yuan, up 46.33%, and net profit of 2.251 billion yuan, up 65.55% year on year. The company credited AI computing infrastructure investment and new customer wins. Second-quarter profit of 1.401 billion yuan beat the midpoint of its own forecast.
Strong earnings confirm the AI demand story is flowing into actual profits, a key support for the stock.
OpenAI revenue miss triggers AI hardware selloff OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate came in about $20 billion below expectations, sparking panic. A-share computing hardware stocks fell hard, with Shennan Circuits dropping more than 6% along with other PCB names. The selloff reflects fears that AI spending may not justify current valuations.
This is the main counterweight: a sharp sentiment-driven drop showing how sensitive the stock is to AI spending doubts.
China GDP slowdown weighs on electronics demand China's second-quarter GDP growth slowed to 4.3%, missing expectations, and the Shanghai Composite fell. Semiconductor and electronic component stocks, including Shennan Circuits, declined as investors worried about weaker demand for electronics. This is a broad economic headwind rather than a company-specific problem.
It shows a macro risk that can pressure demand for Shennan Circuits' products, balancing the bullish AI narrative.

AI Data-Center Demand Lifted Dongshan; US Content Rule and Tax Clouded Q3

AI data-center demand and profit surge Suzhou Dongshan Precision's first-half net profit jumped 290% to 2.957 billion yuan, powered by AI data-center demand. Its 1.6T optical modules were already shipping, showing the company is a real supplier to the AI buildout.
This is the core positive force behind the stock's strong quarter.
Fund manager buying and rising PCB material prices Top fund manager Zhang Kun added the stock to his top ten holdings, a strong vote of confidence. At the same time, rising prices for PCB materials lifted the whole sector, helping Dongshan's shares.
These are new positive catalysts that supported the stock during the quarter.
US optical-module content rule and China VOCs tax A US plan requiring 65% domestic content in optical modules hit the stock, which fell by its daily limit. Dongshan denied the rumor, but China's new VOCs environmental tax from 2027 also raised compliance-cost concerns.
These regulatory risks were major negative forces that weighed on the stock.
AI-spending doubts and sharp CPO/PCB swings OpenAI's weaker revenue forecast fueled doubts about AI spending, and sharp swings in CPO and PCB shares added volatility. These moves reflected shifting sentiment rather than Dongshan's own fundamentals.
This explains the negative sentiment and volatility that partly offset the strong quarter.

AI demand lifts Dongshan, but US optical-module rules and AI-spending doubts hit

AI-driven PCB demand and rising material prices lift Dongshan Electronic fabric prices jumped 17-18% in August, their biggest monthly gain this year, pushing up PCB material costs. Dongshan, a PCB maker, benefits as AI servers and chips drive demand for its boards, and the whole PCB sector rallied with it.
This explains the core demand and pricing force pushing Dongshan's shares up.
First-half profit up 290% and 1.6T optical modules already shipping Dongshan reported first-half net profit of 2.957 billion yuan, up 290% from a year earlier. It also said its 1.6T optical modules are already being supplied to customers, showing it is winning business in the fast-growing AI data-center market.
Strong earnings and new high-end product shipments are direct positive drivers for the stock.
US plan to limit Chinese optical modules hits the stock A Morgan Stanley report said the US may require 65% of optical-module parts to come from US suppliers, starting with next-generation 3.2T products. Dongshan and other optical stocks fell sharply, with Dongshan hitting its 10% daily limit down, as investors feared lost overseas sales.
This is the main new risk weighing on Dongshan's price this period.
Dongshan denies rumor, but AI-spending worries drag sector Dongshan denied the 65% US-content rumor, saying some optical chips are self-developed and make up under 10% of material costs. Still, the stock and the whole AI hardware sector fell after OpenAI's revenue forecast came in about $20 billion below expectations, raising doubts about AI spending.
Shows the company's pushback against the rule, but also the broader AI-demand worry that hurt the stock.

Earnings Surge and Fund Buying Offset Tax and Selloff Shocks

First-half profit forecast up 283–296% on AI data center demand DSBJ expects H1 2026 net profit of 2.9–3.0 billion yuan, up 283–296% year on year. The jump comes from data center investments, its optical module business integration, and solid consumer electronics and auto parts. This directly boosts earnings expectations and supports a higher stock price.
The profit surge is the core fundamental driver behind the stock's re-rating.
Zhang Kun adds DSBJ to top ten holdings for first time Top fund manager Zhang Kun added Dongshan Precision to his fund's top ten holdings in Q2, shifting away from baijiu toward tech growth. This signals rising institutional demand and can attract more buyers, pushing the price up.
Institutional buying is a direct demand catalyst for the shares.
New environmental tax on VOCs to raise compliance costs from 2027 China will pilot an environmental protection tax on volatile organic compounds across eight industries, including general equipment manufacturing, starting January 1, 2027. DSBJ fell 9.74% on the news as investors worry about higher compliance costs and tighter regulation.
This is a new regulatory cost that could pressure future margins.
CPO sector selloff and PCB rebound show high volatility On July 17, CPO concept stocks plunged and DSBJ hit the daily limit down amid a broad tech selloff. By July 27, the PCB sector rallied and DSBJ rebounded 6.39%. These sharp swings reflect sector-wide sentiment, not company-specific news, and add short-term trading risk.
The extreme price swings show how sector sentiment can overwhelm fundamentals in the short run.
