TREE NEWS reports: Kingboard Laminates shares rose as much as 6% intraday after JPMorgan initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a HK$65 target price, implying about 41% upside from Tuesday’s close. JPMorgan forecast EPS to grow eightfold between 2025 and 2028, driven by higher copper-clad laminate prices, capacity expansion and a 75% increase in loom equipment over the next two years. It expects the fiberglass fabric shortage to last at least until 2027, with tight supply of mid-to-high-end electronic-grade copper foil intensifying in 2027-2028.
Kingboard Laminates Jumps as JPMorgan Starts Coverage With Overweight
The significance here is less the rating than the supply-side thesis: JPMorgan is framing Kingboard's earnings trajectory around a fiberglass fabric shortage running to at least 2027, with mid-to-high-end electronic-grade copper foil tightness deepening after that. That positions the company as a bottleneck beneficiary rather than a demand story, which matters for anyone tracking AI-driven substrate and laminate supply chains. The open question is whether the projected capacity and loom additions arrive fast enough to capture the shortage window, or whether they coincide with relief in materials supply.
