Analysts say tech stock correction creates a golden pit; optical communications, semiconductor equipment, and commercial aerospace present prime buying opportunities
After the recent sharp pullback in China's A-share tech sector, analysts point out that the underlying logic supporting the tech bull market remains intact, and the correction has instead provided more cost-effective positioning opportunities. They recommend focusing on dip-buying chances in optical communications, semiconductor equipment, and commercial aerospace. In optical communications, the computing power race driven by generative AI continues, with the peak shipment cycle for 800G products and the upgrade cycle to 1.6T approaching. Chinese manufacturers hold solid global competitive advantages. Eoptolink Technology expects first-half net profit attributable to shareholders of 7 billion to 8 billion yuan, up 77.56% to 102.93% year-on-year. Suzhou TFC Optical Communication expects first-half net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.124 billion to 1.304 billion yuan, up 25% to 45% year-on-year. Industrial Securities analyst Zhang Lin remains bullish on the sector and suggests paying attention to Zhongji Innolight, Eoptolink Technology, Suzhou TFC Optical Communication, and Sinopower Electronics. The semiconductor equipment industry maintains high prosperity. SEMI forecasts that global total sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment will reach a record high of 165.9 billion US dollars in 2026, up 23.2% year-on-year. Ping An Securities analyst Yang Zhong recommends Naura Technology, Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment, Tuojing Technology, Hwatsing Technology, Skyverse, and Leadmicro. In the commercial aerospace sector, after valuation compression, policies continue to advance, rocket recovery technology matures, and launch costs decline. Zheshang Securities analyst Peng Lei believes China's commercial aerospace is poised to enter a rapid growth phase, with 2026 potentially becoming a dense year for recovery verification. Shanghai Hanxun, China Aerospace Times Electronics, ST Zhenlei, Chengchang Technology, Maxwell Technologies, and Sunway Communication are widely favored.

Tianfu Communication forecasts 25% to 45% rise in first-half net profit
Optical communications giant Tianfu Communication has released its 2026 half-year performance forecast, projecting first-half net profit of 1.124 billion to 1.304 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25% to 45%. Net profit after deducting non-recurring items is expected to be 1.089 billion to 1.284 billion yuan, up 25.56% to 48.02% year on year. The company said that the accelerated development of the global artificial intelligence industry and the construction of data centers worldwide have driven sustained and steady growth in demand for high-speed optical device products. Although tight supply of certain materials has had some impact on production ramp-up, the company has achieved year-on-year profit growth by leveraging its highly reusable common technology platform and deep vertical integration of products. In addition, during the reporting period, financial expenses rose year on year due to foreign exchange losses, which had a certain negative impact on profit growth.
