On July 2, YOFC (Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable) fell 12.22% in regular trading, trading at HK$213.0/share, with turnover of HK$1.67 billion.

On the news front, the company held its annual shareholder meeting on June 30, where management expressed cautious views on capacity expansion timing. CEO Zhuang Dan acknowledged that whether current favorable conditions can be sustained is a shared concern among shareholders, stating that the supply-demand balance will determine how long the current fiber shortage persists.

Multiple companies have recently launched preform expansion plans, including Da族Laser announcing 2,000-ton preform and 60-million core-km fiber capacity additions, and Hoshine Silicon reserving a 3,200-ton preform project. Nomura warned that if new entrants successfully develop high-end products such as hollow-core and multi-core fiber, market competition will intensify and incumbent margins may face pressure. Additionally, Corning's GlassBridge glass optical interconnect platform has raised market concerns over long-term demand erosion for midstream fiber components, prompting short-term capital to further mark down valuations.
