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.

Special Report|AIR H1 Revenue Rises 3.7% as Shisha Volumes Fall 9%, Testing Its Shift Beyond Traditional Hookah
AIR’s first half-year results as a listed company offer a new test of how far a traditional hookah business can transform. H1 2026 revenue rose 3.7%, even as Flavored Shisha Molasses shipments fell 9%, with pricing and mix supporting growth. Traditional shisha still generates almost all revenue, while OOKA, Crown Switch, Greentank and U.S. regulatory spending point to accelerating diversification. The next test is whether those investments can become a second business of meaningful scale and profitability.

Smoore Seeks to Toss CCELL Price-Fixing Claim as Court Weighs Vertical Distribution Versus Horizontal Conspiracy
Smoore Seeks to Toss CCELL Price-Fixing Claim as Court Weighs Vertical Distribution Versus Horizontal Conspiracy
Smoore and four authorized U.S. CCELL distributors are asking a California federal court to permanently dismiss a core antitrust claim brought by direct purchasers. Plaintiffs allege that Smoore coordinated minimum wholesale prices, customer allocation and limits on price competition among distributors, amounting to a per se unlawful horizontal conspiracy. The defendants say the alleged conduct reflects ordinary vertical relationships between a manufacturer and its distributors. The court previously dismissed a similar claim, and the latest dispute centers on whether the second amended complaint adds sufficient facts to establish a horizontal agreement.

How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
Logista France says tobacco consumption outside France’s official tobacconist network has become a large and structural market phenomenon, but official and industry estimates differ sharply. France’s TAFE study estimates that 17.7% of tobacco consumption escaped domestic taxation in 2023, with most of that volume attributed to cross-border purchasing rather than street sales. Some industry studies use broader off-channel definitions and put the figure above 50%. Meanwhile, French Customs seized 547.94 tonnes of tobacco in 2025, up 12%, showing continued pressure from illicit trade.

Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Science | International Experts Propose a New Smoking Cessation Pathway, Citing Higher Quit Rates With E-Cigarettes Than Nicotine Replacement Therapy
A new expert paper in JAMA urges U.S. clinicians to include nicotine e-cigarettes in smoking-cessation discussions, citing higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy. It also stresses that products must deliver enough nicotine to replace cigarettes, dual use should be brief, and complete switching is the goal. 2Firsts argues the recommendations matter beyond clinics: public-health professionals should reassess relative risk, regulators should preserve sufficient product appeal for adult smokers, and manufacturers should focus on helping users quit cigarettes more sustainably.
