An announcement from the Shanghai Stock Exchange on the evening of September 4 confirmed that, per its Hong Kong Stock Connect implementation rules, EPIWORLD (02726) has been formally added to the eligible securities list under the southbound trading scheme. The adjustment will take effect from Monday, September 7, allowing mainland investors to directly buy and sell shares of the company through the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect channels, thereby unlocking southbound capital flows.

In its interim results, EPIWORLD reported first-half revenue of RMB 578 million, representing a year-on-year surge of 92%. Adjusted net profit reached RMB 139 million, up 43.4% from the prior corresponding period. The company noted that four of the world's top five SiC power device manufacturers are its clients, and all four have entered NVIDIA's AI data center supply chain. Additionally, the company has achieved a breakthrough in small-batch orders for its 12-inch SiC epitaxial wafers.
