On August 18, SG MICRO rose 3.32% in regular trading, trading at HK$107.8/share, with turnover of HK$2.5382 million. The stock was buoyed by a confluence of strong earnings expectations and industry pricing tailwinds.

On the industry front, global analog chip leader ADI announced its second full-product price increase of the year effective September 13, following Texas Instruments which had already completed three rounds of price adjustments.
