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.

WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
WIRED Investigation: Chinese-Made Vapes Turn to 6-Methyl-Nicotine and Other Analogs, Challenging U.S. Regulation
U.S. technology and investigative publication WIRED has examined how nicotine analogs are emerging as a new challenge for the country’s vape regulatory framework. The article argues that after the U.S. expanded federal oversight of nicotine products in 2022, some manufacturers began using nicotine-like compounds such as 6-methyl-nicotine that may fall outside existing definitions. Researchers cited by WIRED said some nicotine analogs could be more potent than traditional nicotine, although human health impacts remain unclear. U.S. policymakers are considering broader definitions of nicotine to bring these compounds under federal oversight.

2Firsts Data | China’s Vape Exports Rise 3.1% in H1 2026 as 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Surge 65.2%
2Firsts Data | China’s Vape Exports Rise 3.1% in H1 2026 as 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Surge 65.2%
China’s vape exports showed resilience in the first half of 2026 after a short-term shock from China’s export rebate adjustment. But customs data points to more than a simple recovery: the structure of growth is changing. Vaping devices and atomization hardware emerged as the strongest growth driver, while nicotine-containing vaping products remained broadly stable. Meanwhile, nicotine substitute-related products represented by 6-methyl nicotine expanded rapidly, becoming a new category to watch for both industry and regulators. After the U.S. market went through a cycle of shortages, replenishment and inventory rebuilding in 2025, China’s vape supply chain is entering a new phase of reallocation.
