Yeh Hwa, originally known for touch panels, has seen its electromechanical division's revenue share increase significantly in recent years, now at around 80% for the division producing cable terminal boxes and connecting boxes – both of which are in high demand due to the grid project. While the optoelectronics department's Q1 revenue performance was weak, it has gradually improved in Q2. Yeh Hwa's revenue in May surged by 95.2% monthly and 57.7% yearly, totaling 2.23 billion yuan, up by 20.4% year-on-year from January to May.

Investors expressing concerns are advised to sell, causing a plunge amid bullish news, making AI stocks jittery. While Evergreen Airlines soar and Taiwan stock index rise by over 100 points, pressing the 18,100 mark during the trading session.
