Juncheng Technology Explains Low Profit Margin and Improvement Plan
Investors inquire about Jun Cheng Technology's low profit margin in its 2023 annual report, attributing it to TFT product development challenges.

Recently, on the investor interaction platform, an investor asked Jun Cheng Technology (301106.SZ): In the company's 23rd annual report, the gross profit margin for color screens was 4.33%, why is it so low? Is there any improvement this year?

 

In response to this, Jun Cheng Technology stated that the company has started laying out the TFT market for 2023, but TFT products are still in the research and development stage with low yield rates. Additionally, due to small production and sales volume, the company has not achieved economies of scale, resulting in lower profit margins. Thanks to early planning in 2023, yield rates have significantly improved this year, and the sales of e-cigarette TFT products and electric vehicle TFT products in 2024 have reached scale, becoming incremental businesses for the company. Cost efficiencies are now evident, and it is expected that there will be a satisfactory level of profit margins in 2024.

 

Previously, Jun Cheng Technology replied to investors that the products related to e-cigarettes are classified as consumer electronics products, and the current production capacity is sufficient. With the continuous discovery of incremental customers, the company's production capacity planning will be increased accordingly.

 

According to the official website of Jun Cheng Technology, the company is located in the Economic Development Zone of Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, China, adjacent to Nanjing. It was established in 2009 and is a professional manufacturer of LCD & LCM equipment from the Japanese company HITACHI. They specialize in producing and selling STN type LCD displays and display modules, and have obtained ISO TS16949, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications. The company covers an area of 25,000 square meters, with more than 10,000 square meters of purification workshops, and has the capacity to produce over 15 million various types of displays and 20 million display modules per year.

EU ‘TPD3’ Enters Next Phase on Aug. 14 as Fragmented Vape and Nicotine Pouch Rules Push the Single Market Toward Regulatory Overhaul
A 12-week European Commission consultation on revising the Tobacco Products Directive and Tobacco Advertising Directive is due to close on Aug. 14, 2026. The Commission has identified e-cigarette flavours, disposable vapes, tobacco heating devices, nicotine pouches, nicotine-free e-cigarettes, packaging and digital marketing among areas for possible new EU rules. National regulations already vary significantly across the bloc, a fragmentation the Commission says creates internal-market barriers and distorts competition. No formal revised TPD/TAD legislative text has yet been published, with the Commission currently indicating December 2026 for the legislative initiative.
