KB Laminates (ISIN KYG5257K1076) reported revenue of HKD 14.90 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 55.4 percent year over year, while net profit attributable to shareholders reached HKD 2.89 billion, up 209.3 percent, according to Megahub in its latest results profile.

Profit growth resets the baseline

The earnings comparison is the central figure. Net profit increased from the prior-year level to HKD 2.89 billion, turning a 209.3 percent year-over-year increase into the strongest operating signal in the available first-half figures.

Revenue growth was also broad enough to matter for the stock narrative. The HKD 14.90 billion total was 55.4 percent above the corresponding period of 2025, giving the profit increase a larger sales base rather than leaving it as a purely cost-driven comparison.

Margins add operating leverage

Megahub reported a gross profit margin of 30.7 percent for the first half of 2026. That margin figure matters because it places the revenue increase beside a profitability measure, allowing investors to distinguish volume growth from higher-value product mix and pricing effects.

A separate market report said KB Laminates had issued its seventh price adjustment notice of 2026 and that cumulative increases for FR-4 laminates exceeded 100 percent by September 23, 2026, while first-half net profit was HKD 2.887 billion, up 209 percent year over year, according to New Timespace.

Share count stays unchanged

KB Laminates reported 3.151 billion issued shares excluding treasury shares for the month ended September 30, 2026. The filing also stated that the company maintained a minimum public float of 25 percent and issued no new shares through option exercises during the period, according to HKEX.
