China Automation and Machinery Positive Industry Data Points of AI PCB Equipment and ConstructionMachinery CITI’S TAKEPCB equipment/Factory automation: Taiwan PCB mechanical drilling equipment maker Ta Liang (3167.TW) reported on 6 July that its monthlyrevenue hit the all-time high of NT$1.04bn in Jun-26, with growthaccelerating to 140% YoY in Jun-26 from 120% YoY in May-26. Againstrecent bearish sentiment, we believe that Ta Liang’s accelerating monthlyrevenue growth shows that AI PCB makers are still aggressively expandingtheir capacities to meet the strong demand from Nvidia or ASICcompanies. We see positive implications toHan’s CNC (3200.HK /301200.SZ)as well asHan’s Laser (002008.SZ).Constructionmachinery: CCMA (China Construction Machinery Association) reportedthat China domestic and export excavator grew strongly at 34% and 36%YoY in Jun-26, respectively.
