Buybacks and AI-driven MLCC boom lift Sanhuan; anchor investor exits

Direct company capital actions that support the share price.
MLCC supercycle and AI server demand MLCC spot prices have jumped over 20% for standard parts and 60-80% for high-capacitance AI server types since June.

Core industry driver of revenue and profit growth for the company.
Strong earnings and fund demand Sanhuan guided first-half net profit up 45-65% year-on-year, with actual revenue up 54.8% and net profit up 56.2%. A top-performing fund held it as a heavy weight and increased electronics holdings. Strong results and institutional buying support the stock.

Anchor investor fully exits H-shares Huafeng International, an anchor investor in Sanhuan's Hong Kong IPO, plans to sell its remaining 360,400 H-shares, fully exiting after already selling 420,900 shares near the H-share peak.
