  • Four Taiwan PCB stocks, including LuenMao, will enter a 2-minute split-trading session starting Tuesday due to rapid price increases.
  • This trading restriction, lasting five business days, aims to curb excessive speculation after recent market rallies.
  • The move follows similar measures for other PCB-related companies, highlighting regulatory attention to the sector's volatility.

Taiwan's stock market is seeing increased regulatory scrutiny on its booming PCB sector. LuenMao, along with three other PCB-related companies, Jiantian, Fuqiao, and Daliang, will enter a 2-minute split-trading session starting Tuesday. This measure, effective from August 11 to August 17, is a response to rapid price surges in these stocks.

Short-term gains too fast!

โ€” Article HeadlineThe headline indicates the reason for the trading restrictions.

This action follows similar restrictions placed on other key players in the industry. Earlier, Xin่ˆˆ (IC substrate) and Jing็ขฉ (IC substrate), along with copper clad laminate manufacturer Taiyao, began their own five-day split-trading sessions. The Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchange have shortened the split-trading time from five or 20 minutes to just two minutes, a change implemented on Monday.

LuenMao will enter a 2-minute split-trading session starting tomorrow.

โ€” Article TextThis sentence directly states the new trading measure for LuenMao.

The new split-trading system aims to improve liquidity and reduce speculative trading. On Monday, the first day of the new system, most of the nine stocks under restriction saw gains, with only JianCe experiencing a decline. This suggests that the market is absorbing the restrictions, with funds continuing to flow into the sector despite the regulatory measures.

Due to short-term gains being too large, multiple PCB stocks have successively entered restrictions.
