PCB Stocks Surge as AI and Communications Demand Boost CCL Prices Amid Rising Raw Material Costs

Published: May 27, 2026 13:27
Recently, the PCB concept has continued to rally, with share prices of related publicly listed firms performing strongly. Currently, downstream demand from AI, communications, and other sectors continues to improve, driving sufficient orders in the CCL market. Meanwhile, copper prices have recently been fluctuating at highs and fiberglass cloth supply remains tight, pushing raw material costs to rise. Under the dual effects of rising raw material costs and robust downstream demand, a price-increase sentiment has emerged for products such as copper clad laminates (CCL).
