KINGBOARD HLDG (00148) announced its financial results for the six months ending June 30, 2026. During this period, the group achieved a revenue of HKD 29.131 billion, an increase of 35% compared to the previous year; the profit attributable to shareholders was HKD 2.711 billion, up 5% year-on-year; the basic earnings per share stood at HKD 2.445; and a mid-term dividend of HKD 0.73 per share is proposed. During the review period, high-end sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI) experienced rapid development, with strong demand for emerging electronic products centered around the AI concept. The prices of copper-clad laminates and their upstream materials, including electronic fiberglass yarn, electronic fiberglass cloth, and copper foil, were raised multiple times during the period, with an accelerated price increase noted in the second quarter. Some copper-clad laminate companies in the market temporarily halted production due to a lack of electronic fiberglass cloth; however, the group has a complete vertically integrated supply chain, resulting in an increase in copper-clad laminate sales compared to the same period in 2025, and a significant rise in departmental profits compared to last year. The group also expedited customer certification for its high-end products, attracting a large number of quality clients, while the extensive customer network continues to expand and move towards high-end markets.
