KB Laminates (01888) shares soared 20.04% in early trading on Friday, emerging as the top gainer in the Hong Kong market.
The sharp rally was fueled by a broad recovery in printed circuit board (PCB) concept stocks, which rebounded from recent weakness. KB Laminates led the sector's upward momentum, attracting strong buying interest as investors rotated back into the beaten-down PCB space.
The broader market opened mixed, but a supportive tone in tech-related sectors, including AI and memory stocks, helped lift sentiment and contributed to the outsized move in KB Laminates.
