Shennan Circuits disclosed its investor relations activity record. The PCB business benefited from growing demand for AI computing infrastructure hardware-related products, with factory capacity utilization rates staying high. The packaging substrate business, driven by demand boosts from storage and processor chip substrates, maintained the elevated capacity utilization rate levels seen since Q4 2025. For the Guangzhou packaging substrate project, the capacity ramp-up of BT-type packaging substrates progressed steadily.
