FIT Hon Teng's stock plummeted 5.19% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting continued pressure on the optical communication sector.

The decline comes as the optical communication sector faces ongoing profit-taking pressure following a rapid rally that was initially driven by strong AI computing demand and bullish outlooks from U.S. optical component leaders. Market analysts attribute the move to a normal technical correction after the sector's sharp run-up.

Despite FIT Hon Teng's solid fundamentals, including significant revenue growth in its cloud networking infrastructure and automotive segments, the short-term price action remains heavily influenced by sector-wide rotation dynamics. The company's expansion of its AI-related product lineup, including PowerWhip ultra-high current connectors and next-generation 1.6T high-speed solutions, has yet to offset the near-term selling pressure in the broader sector.
