Shares in Chinese MLCC makers rise as AI lifts sales and profits
Chinese multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufacturers, including Chaozhou Three-Circle Company (CCTC) and Guangdong Fenghua Advanced Technology, reported substantial first-half sales and profit growth. CCTC's revenue rose 55 percent to 6.4 billion yuan, with net profit up 56 percent to 1.9 billion yuan. Guangdong Fenghua saw its net profit increase 74 percent year on year to 290.3 million yuan, on sales of 3.5 billion yuan. This surge is attributed to increased demand for MLCCs, essential components in electronics, driven by the expanding AI sector.
The strong first-half results from CCTC and Guangdong Fenghua reflect a direct uplift for China's passive component manufacturers, driven by AI data center demand. CCTC's 55 percent revenue surge to 6.4 billion yuan and Guangdong Fenghua's 74 percent net profit increase to 290.3 million yuan show how AI's infrastructure needs are translating into tangible gains for hardware suppliers. This growth in MLCC orders points to the broadening economic impact of AI beyond chipmakers to the foundational electronics supply chain. The strategic focus for CCTC in the second half of 2026 on high-end MLCCs for server and automotive sectors is a key development. This move suggests a push towards higher-margin products and a deeper integration into critical technology supply chains, especially as AI applications in these areas intensify. The ability of Chinese manufacturers to scale production of ultra-high-capacitance, large-format MLCCs will be a crucial factor to watch for their continued market penetration and profitability.
