SHANGHAI, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JCET Group (SSE: 600584), a leading global provider of integrated circuit (IC) back-end manufacturing and technology services, today announced its financial results for the first half of 2026.

Revenue for the first six months of 2026 reached RMB 19.53 billion, an increase of 5.0% year over year and a record for any first-half period in the company's history. Net profit attributable to shareholders totaled RMB 840 million, up 79.4% from the prior-year period, while adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders, excluding non-recurring items, increased 84.7% year over year to RMB 810 million, reflecting stronger operating performance and improved profitability across the business.

For the second quarter, revenue rose to RMB 10.36 billion, increasing 11.7% year over year and 12.9% sequentially to a record level for the period. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 550 million, representing growth of 107.3% from a year earlier and 91% from the previous quarter.

Growth during the first half was driven by robust demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure markets, which continued to support recovery across the semiconductor industry. Benefiting from increasing customer orders and higher factory utilization across its global manufacturing network, JCET delivered broad-based growth across key end markets and service offerings.

As AI deployment accelerates worldwide, demand is expanding across the entire infrastructure stack, including computing, memory, interconnect and power delivery. Leveraging its comprehensive portfolio of heterogeneous integration technologies and manufacturing capabilities, JCET continued to strengthen solutions that enable higher performance, greater integration and improved energy efficiency for next-generation AI systems. Revenue from the company's computing electronics business increased 40.4% year over year in the first half. Automotive electronics revenue also continued to grow, rising 25.0%, while testing services recorded revenue growth of 9.4%. The ongoing optimization of JCET's diversified business portfolio contributed to both top-line expansion and stronger earnings performance.

To support long-term growth, JCET continued to invest in technology innovation and manufacturing capacity while advancing both leading-edge packaging and next-generation mainstream packaging solutions. Research and development expenses totaled RMB 1.03 billion during the first half, representing 5.3% of revenue.

In June, the company announced a RMB 7.8 billion investment to build a new advanced packaging and testing manufacturing facility in Shanghai. In July, JCET established a wholly owned subsidiary with registered capital of RMB 4 billion to support project implementation, marking another important step in expanding its high-end advanced packaging footprint.

JCET also continued to enhance operational efficiency through disciplined cost management and productivity improvement initiatives, supporting further margin expansion. In addition, the company established an overseas Finance and Treasury Centre in Singapore, enabling a more centralized approach to global treasury operations, strengthening risk management capabilities and enhancing the resilience of its worldwide operating platform.

Mr. Li Zheng, CEO of JCET Group said, "AI is reshaping both computing infrastructure and semiconductor architectures, while expanding the role of advanced packaging from manufacturing execution to product innovation and system-level performance enablement. Against this backdrop, JCET continued to capitalize on opportunities across the AI value chain during the first half of 2026, supported by our global R&D, manufacturing and customer service network. We further strengthened our technology and product portfolio in key growth areas, driving continued improvement in both scale and profitability. Looking ahead, we will continue to support our customers' innovation with differentiated semiconductor manufacturing solutions and deliver sustainable, high-quality growth."

Im Streit um die Behandlung sogenannter Heavy User im Mobilfunk hat das nordrhein-westfälische Oberverwaltungsgericht (OVG) die Bundesnetzagentur vorläufig in die Schranken gewiesen. Die Bonner Aufsichtsbehörde hatte einem bundesweit tätigen Mobilfunkanbieter untersagt, Kunden mit unbegrenztem oder sehr großem Datenvolumen bei überlasteten Funkzellen mit geringerer Priorität zu bedienen. Diese Form der sogenannten Depriorisierung darf nach der einstweiligen OVG-Entscheidung vorerst weiter angewendet werden. Der Beschluss im Eilverfahren ist nicht anfechtbar.

Nach Auffassung des 13. Senats ist derzeit offen, ob die entsprechende Vertragsklausel des Anbieters mit europäischem Recht vereinbar ist. Im Kern geht es um die Frage, ob eine nachrangige Behandlung von Vielnutzern eine nicht gerechtfertigte Ungleichbehandlung von Kunden darstellt. Bevor in der Hauptsache entschieden wird, will das OVG Münster den Europäischen Gerichtshof (EuGH) um eine Vorabentscheidung bitten. Damit wird der Konflikt um Datenpriorisierung und Netzmanagement auf die europäische Ebene verlagert.

Gegenstand des Verfahrens ist insbesondere, ob der Datentransport datenintensiver Anwendungen wie hochauflösendem Videostreaming während einer Netzüberlastung eingeschränkt oder verlangsamt werden darf. Der betroffene Mobilfunkanbieter sieht dies in seinen Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen vor, um Kapazitäten in ausgelasteten Funkzellen zu steuern. Die Bundesnetzagentur hatte angeordnet, dass diese Klausel nicht umgesetzt werden darf und damit faktisch einen Riegel vor entsprechende Maßnahmen gegen Heavy User geschoben.

In der Vorinstanz hatte sich die Bundesnetzagentur noch durchgesetzt: Das Verwaltungsgericht Köln hatte die Position der Behörde bestätigt. Das OVG änderte diese Entscheidung nun (Az. 13 B 1232/25) und gab dem Anbieter im Eilverfahren Recht. Mit der geplanten Vorlage an den EuGH dürfte der Fall Signalwirkung für die Auslegung europäischer Vorgaben zur Gleichbehandlung von Internetverkehr und zu den Spielräumen der Netzbetreiber beim Umgang mit stark belasteten Mobilfunkzellen entfalten.
