On August 18, KB LAMINATES fell 3.8% in regular trading, trading at HKD 40.6/share, with turnover of HKD 818 million. The stock surged 9.12% in the prior session, triggering short-term profit-taking pressure.

On the news front, the controlling shareholder family reportedly conducted intensive disposals between June and July, cumulatively cashing out over HKD 20 billion, with its shareholding ratio declining substantially. This has continued to weigh on market confidence. While UBS, Bank of America, and Citi recently issued Buy ratings with target prices of HKD 58, 53, and 92 respectively, the overhang from high-level insider selling has kept capital cautious.

Within the Electronic Components sector, KINGBOARD HLDG fell 1.76% and VGT declined 2.42%, while SUNNY OPTICAL rose 4.43% and COWELL gained 4.62%.
