YOFC's stock plummeted 10.48% during the morning trading session on Friday.
The sharp decline followed the company's announcement that its shareholder, Wuhan Yangtze Communication Industry Group Co., Ltd., intends to reduce its stake by up to 1 million shares, representing 0.12% of the total share capital, through a centralized bidding transaction between April and July 2026, citing its own operational development needs.
While institutions such as UBS have raised profit forecasts for YOFC, they also highlighted risks related to the capacity expansion cycle and global supply-demand balance. Separately, industry trends like the upcoming Google Cloud Next '26 event, which could boost demand for optical circuit switches, and a global rise in optical fiber prices with a widening supply-demand gap, provide a mixed backdrop for the stock.
