0646 GMT - Optical fiber sector is likely to benefit from China's AI data center expansion, according to BofA Securities in a research note. Optical fiber demand is shifting from telecom to AI, driving strong growth in high-end segments, the analysts say. "While overall supply is sufficient, constraints in preform capacity are tightening availability of high-spec fiber and supporting pricing," they say. BofA has a buy rating on Jiangsu Zhongtian Technology on fiber price upside, subsea recovery, and grid growth. Shares last traded at 54.12 yuan. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
