On July 17, Sunny Optical Technology fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at 54.75 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 187 million. The decline came as the Electronic Components sector experienced broad-based weakness.

On the industry front, global smartphone shipment expectations remain under sustained pressure. According to Counterpoint Research, Q2 global smartphone shipments fell to their lowest level since 2013, driven by a full-blown memory crisis that has evolved from a supply issue into a demand problem. IDC data projects global smartphone shipments to decline 12.9% year-over-year to 1.1 billion units, marking the lowest annual figure in over a decade. Cost pressures from surging DRAM and NAND prices are particularly impacting entry-level and mid-range segments, with analysts warning that downside pressure may intensify in the coming quarters as low-cost inventory buffers are depleted.

Within the Electronic Components sector, KB Laminates fell 3.31%, Kingboard Holdings fell 3.34%, VGT fell 5.73%, Luxshare ICT fell 3.50%, and CCTC fell 5.46%.
