FTSE China A50 index futures opened 0.38% higher.

At a Sept. 21 results briefing, Xianfeng Jingke said orders on hand at end-1H2026 were more than 80% higher YoY, a record, but deliveries and revenue lagged due to delayed capacity ramp-up and stricter customer process requirements for advanced-node products. Management expects capacity expanded earlier this year to be steadily released in H2, driving material YoY and QoQ growth in deliveries and revenue. Ceramic heaters have passed validation by leading equipment vendors and will enter small-batch production and start contributing revenue in Q4; electrostatic chuck products remain in R&D, with customer sample validation expected in 2027.

Hang Seng Index futures opened the day session up 0.28% at 25,112, trading 75 points above the cash index.
