Summary of the Conference Call for Yongding Co., Ltd. Industry Overview - **Global Fiber Demand**: Significant growth in global fiber demand is expected in 2025, with domestic non-operator market prices for ordinary fiber rising from 15-16 RMB at the beginning of the year to 20-22 RMB by year-end, driven mainly by data center and trunk fiber network construction in mainland China [2][4]. - **Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War**: The war has greatly increased demand for fiber drones, which is expected to remain high even if hostilities cease, as military stockpiles will likely retain a certain number of these drones, leading to stable long-term demand [2][6][10]. Company Performance - **Yongding's Revenue and Profit**: In 2025, Yongding Co., Ltd. exceeded expectations in revenue and profit within the rod and cable sector, increasing production capacity from 300 tons at the beginning of the year to approximately 450 tons by December, with plans for further increases in 2026 [2][7]. - **Product Development**: Multi-mode fiber has been successfully developed and is in small-scale commercial use, while hollow fiber and 654B fiber are expected to undergo testing in Q1 2026 [2][7].
