Jinfu's liquid cooling pivot drives profit surge and 300M yuan raise

H1 profit jumps on liquid cooling acquisition Jinfu expects first-half 2026 net profit of 90-100 million yuan, up 81-102% year on year, because it bought 51% of two liquid cooling firms in April and folded their fast-growing sales into its books. The old packaging business also grew steadily.
This is the core new event showing why earnings and the stock are rising.
Dongguan AI cooling cluster backs the sector Dongguan's Qishi Town was named a provincial AI heat-dissipation cluster, with 33 core cooling firms and 2025 output of 7.49 billion yuan. Jinfu's two acquired targets sit in this supply chain, so policy and cluster growth support its new business.
It explains the industry tailwind behind Jinfu's liquid cooling bet.
300M yuan private placement advances Jinfu plans to raise up to 300 million yuan by selling new shares at 35.18 yuan each, all for liquid cooling plate and component projects. The application moved to registration stage, bringing the funding closer and signaling expansion.
It shows concrete funding progress for the liquid cooling build-out.
Interim report confirms growth but flags cash and debt strain The interim report showed revenue of 738 million yuan and net profit of 96.18 million yuan, up 93.87%. But operating cash inflow fell 46% and the debt ratio jumped to 40.92%, while the company itself warns of integration, goodwill and margin risks.
It gives the real counterweight to the bullish profit headline.

Record shipments and a $140/ton price hike drive PKG higher

Record corrugated shipments show strong demand PKG set an all-time quarterly record for corrugated shipments, up 24.3% from a year earlier, and beat Q2 profit estimates. More boxes shipped means more revenue and profit, which is why the stock jumped about 9% and kept climbing afterward.
Record demand is the core operating force lifting PKG's results and share price this period.
$140/ton containerboard price hike lifts pricing outlook PKG announced a $140-per-ton containerboard price increase starting September 1, and early price gains are already showing up in results. Higher prices for its main product directly boost profit per ton, though analysts expect only part of the hike to stick.
The price increase is the key near-term catalyst analysts cite for PKG's earnings and stock.
Greif acquisition turns accretive and lifts guidance The Greif containerboard business, which dragged on profit last quarter, became a positive contributor this quarter. PKG guided third-quarter earnings to $2.91 per share, well above the $2.35 just reported, signaling management expects the momentum to continue.
The acquisition swing to accretive plus strong guidance shows the growth driver is durable, not one-off.
Valuation looks full even as analysts raise targets After a 20% year-to-date run, the average analyst price target sits slightly below the last close, suggesting the stock may already reflect the good news. JPMorgan and UBS still raised targets and named PKG a top pick, so views are split.
This is the real counterweight: strong operations versus a price that may already be full.
