On October 8, VGT fell 3.24% in regular trading, trading at HK$197.4 with turnover of HK$277 million.

The decline was driven by ongoing sector-wide pressure on PCB stocks amid concerns that rising upstream raw material costs are eroding profit margins, compounded by structural selling of high-valuation technology stocks by institutional investors.

Capital flow data shows VGT's A-share counterpart recorded a significant main-force net outflow of RMB 613 million on September 30, alongside a net financing repayment of RMB 389 million, indicating sustained funding pressure. Despite AI-driven demand and the company's Thailand facility commencing production of AI validation boards, short-term profit-taking and sector rotation dominated the session.

Within the Electronic Components sector, KB Laminates declined 3.54%, Kingboard Holdings fell 2.47%, Sunny Optical dropped 5.23%, Kinwong lost 6.08%, and Delton decreased 5.50%.
