AI data-connector demand drives profit jump; buyback and dividend return cash

AI data-communication connectors become core growth engine First-half net profit rose 54.4% to 130 million yuan on revenue up 45.9% to 1.13 billion yuan, with second-quarter profit up 73.9%. The data-communication connector business, tied to AI computing demand, is now the main growth driver. This is the fundamental force lifting the stock.
It is the core new fundamental reason the company is moving, showing real earnings acceleration from AI demand.
Supernode theme pulls liquid-cooled server suppliers higher Supernode products launched at WAIC 2026 drove a sector rally, with Shenglan rising over 10% as a liquid-cooled server supplier. Analysts expect supernodes to become a key form of domestic AI infrastructure, boosting demand for high-speed interconnects and cabinet-level parts.
It explains the demand-side theme that first pushed the stock up this period.
Buyback and dividend return cash to shareholders The company completed a first buyback of 85,900 shares for 9.99 million yuan and plans a cash dividend of 1 yuan per 10 shares, totaling 16.36 million yuan. These actions signal confidence and put money back in shareholders' hands, supporting the stock.
It shows concrete capital returns that support investor confidence and the share price.
Profit growth comes with weaker cash flow and higher debt Operating cash flow fell 4.7% to 63.22 million yuan, and the asset-liability ratio rose 12.8 percentage points from a year earlier to 46.26%. Gross margin was roughly flat. The earnings beat is real, but cash generation and rising leverage are worth watching.
It gives the fair counterweight to the strong profit headline, which matters for a balanced view.

Prysmian buys Atkore, wins Amazon data-center cable deal

Prysmian to buy Atkore for $3.8bn Prysmian agreed to buy US cable maker Atkore for $3.8 billion in cash, a 30% premium. It expands Prysmian's North American electrification and data-centre business, letting it sell more products to the same customers. Bigger scale and cross-selling can lift future earnings, though the cash outlay and debt taken on are the cost.
The acquisition is the period's biggest company-specific event and directly changes Prysmian's growth outlook.
Amazon Ohio data-centre cable supply deal Prysmian will make low-carbon aluminium cables for an Amazon data centre in Ohio, using Rio Tinto metal, at its Sedalia plant. It shows Prysmian winning work in the fast-growing data-centre power market and supports its green-revenue goal. No contract value was given and the technology is early-stage, so near-term earnings impact is limited.
It is a fresh, concrete win in Prysmian's key growth market of data-centre electrification.
AI infrastructure demand keeps Prysmian in favour Investors are rewarding companies that supply the AI build-out, and Prysmian was named among outperformers on strong AI-enabling demand. Data centres and power grids need huge amounts of cable, so this trend supports Prysmian's orders and pricing. It is a broad market tailwind rather than a company announcement.
It explains the sector-wide demand force behind Prysmian's share-price support this period.
Lawyer probe into Atkore deal fairness A shareholder-rights law firm is investigating whether Atkore's $95-per-share sale to Prysmian is fair to Atkore holders. Such probes are common and rarely block deals, but they can delay closing or push for better terms. For Prysmian the risk is mainly timing and cost, not a change to its strategy.
It is the main counterweight to the acquisition news and could affect deal completion.
