Within the industrial landscape, the semiconductor segment gained traction, with concepts such as lithography machines and lithography resists rising sharply. Semiconductor equipment, in particular, continued to perform strongly, highlighted by gains from companies such as Shenghui Integrated. The paper‑making sector also saw notable activity; the concept rose repeatedly, with Wuzhou Special Paper Group among the firms benefiting from the sector’s momentum. Shares in Wuzhou Special Paper Group experienced an uptick during the session, reflecting investor interest in the paper‑industry theme.
Conversely, the port and shipping sector fell sharply, with major players in that space posting significant declines.
Impact of Currency Movements on the Paper Sector
The paper industry is sensitive to foreign‑exchange dynamics, given its reliance on imported raw materials and export markets. On 12 February, the onshore and offshore Chinese renminbi crossed the CNY 6.9‑per‑USD threshold, the strongest level since April 2023. The appreciation of the renminbi is likely to reduce the cost of foreign‑origin inputs for paper manufacturers, thereby improving profitability. This currency environment contributed to the positive sentiment surrounding the paper‑making concept, benefiting firms such as Wuzhou Special Paper Group.
Summary
On 13 February 2026, the Shanghai Stock Exchange recorded a modest decline across its main indices, while specific industry themes—semiconductors and paper manufacturing—displayed resilience. Wuzhou Special Paper Group’s share price reflected the broader enthusiasm for the paper sector, supported by favourable currency conditions and an active market for paper‑industry stocks. The company’s valuation metrics (P/E of 25.15 and a market cap of CNY 6.74 billion) position it as a mid‑cap player within the industry.
