    This is the core positive fundamental driver of the stock's performance during the period.

  • Strong demand and capacity expansion Its 70mW/100mW CW lasers see strong demand and stable pricing, with module-maker and cloud deals confirmed. The company is investing 4.27 billion yuan in a Shaanxi industrial park to expand capacity.

    Shows operational execution and future growth plans that support the stock.

  • US regulatory threat hits stock The stock fell 20% after Morgan Stanley warned the US FCC may restrict Chinese optical modules from the 3.2T generation, compounded by rumors of 1.6T chip price cuts.

    This is the main negative force that caused a sharp price drop during the period.

Yuanjie's 4.27B yuan expansion and strong profit met by US optical-chip tariff threat

  • 4.27 billion yuan industrial park expansion Yuanjie plans to invest about 4.27 billion yuan in a semiconductor industrial park to expand high-end laser chip capacity. This is a big bet on future demand; it supports the stock by signaling confidence, though it also means heavy spending ahead.

    It is the single largest new company-specific event this period and directly shapes the growth story.

  • Interim profit of 607 million yuan, 80% gross margin First-half revenue was 925 million yuan with net profit of 607 million yuan and an 80.42% gross margin. That is a very profitable business, which reassures investors and supports the share price by showing strong underlying earnings power.

    It is the key new financial proof of the company's profitability and cash generation.

  • Supplier Zhili Fang enters Yuanjie's supply chain Zhili Fang's semiconductor equipment revenue jumped 187% and it named Yuanjie as a customer. This shows Yuanjie is actively buying equipment and expanding production, a sign of real demand and execution behind its growth plans.

    It is independent evidence that Yuanjie's expansion is actually happening on the ground.

  • US FCC optical-module restrictions and price-cut fears The sector plunged on a Morgan Stanley note warning the FCC may restrict Chinese optical modules from the 3.2T generation, with a US-content exemption that could squeeze domestic chips. Rumors of 1.6T chip price cuts added to the selloff, sending Yuanjie down 20%.

    It is the main new risk that could cap overseas growth and has already hit the share price hard.

    It shows the demand behind the profit surge is real and continuing.

  • 4.27 billion yuan optical chip industrial park planned Yuanjie plans to invest about 4.268 billion yuan in a new industrial park with laser-chip production lines in Shaanxi. This is a large capacity expansion aimed at future customer demand, though it will take time and money to build.

    The investment signals confidence in long-term demand and future growth capacity.

  • AI computing demand outpaces supply, lifting chip stocks Domestic AI computing demand jumped 417% year on year in early 2026 while supply grew only 128%, keeping high-end chips scarce. Yuanjie rose 10% as part of a broad semiconductor rally tied to this shortage, a supportive but more market-wide force.

    It explains the wider AI-driven backdrop pushing chip stocks, including Yuanjie, higher.
