Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The Q fabric (Q 布) industry is experiencing a significant boost due to the deployment of A-grade chips, which is enhancing the overall PCB (Printed Circuit Board) market sentiment. The market is particularly focused on the store segment, driven by projected demand for AI PCBs and the value share of CCL (Copper Clad Laminate) in 2026 [2][4]. Key Insights and Arguments - The announcement of NVIDIA's CPS (Cloud Processing Service) solution has clarified the market's understanding of the supply-demand relationship, with approximately 1,000 million meters of demand already met for 70% of PCB capacity compensation [2][4]. - In 2026, the demand is expected to increase significantly, with Robin's mass production of the Switch version anticipated to add around 4 million meters of demand. If Google's TPU V8 series adopts the proposed repair solution, an additional 8 million meters of demand could arise, potentially doubling total demand from 1,000 million meters to over 2,000 million meters [2][5][6]. - Looking ahead to 2027, if NVIDIA's ROPIN ULTRA series fully adopts the proposed solutions and Google's TPU V8 and V9 chips reach a production target of 5 million units, total demand could exceed 80 million meters [6]. Production Challenges - The production of Q fabric faces three main challenges: 1. High purity and low impurity requirements for quartz raw material. 2. Complex quartz rod drawing processes that require uniformity control and are prone to breakage. 3. Strict weaving processes that involve maintaining smoothness and applying lubricants [7]. - Currently, only two suppliers, Feiliwa and Asahi Kasei, can produce quartz fibers with a dielectric constant DF value below 5/10,000 in small batches. Feiliwa has a mature drawing process capable of supporting 300,000 meters of customer production monthly, with plans to expand to a capacity of 1,200 million meters by 2026 [7]. Company-Specific Developments - New Qimei Beauty Company is optimistic about its prospects in the PCB equipment sector, with new products like CO2 laser drills and advanced packaging expected to ramp up production next year. The company is positioned to benefit from the rising PCB market, potentially achieving a second growth curve and enhancing its valuation [3][8]. - Other domestic companies, such as Xi'an Laide Optoelectronics, are also making strides in the Q fabric supply chain, including upstream quartz mining and downstream weaving processes. Shanghai Telai Crystal is expected to reach a production capacity of 1 million meters per month by 2027, contingent on successful capacity construction and validation [9].
