On the news front, Kingboard Laminates issued its fourth price increase notice on May 27, raising board material prices by 10% and prepreg (PP) prices by 20%, effective immediately. The company cited elevated copper prices and rising glass cloth costs amid increasingly tight supply.

Additionally, Morgan Stanley's recent BOM teardown of NVIDIA's next-generation Rubin rack revealed that PCB value in the VR200 NVL72 cabinet surged 233% versus the prior generation, from US$35,100 to US$116,700, making PCB the top non-memory value gainer. Korean PCB manufacturers have placed extraordinary pre-orders with Chinese CCL suppliers over supply disruption concerns, extending lead times beyond six weeks for select high-end products.
