Pulead (002324) Limit-Up Analysis: Stock Price Surge Driven by LCP Technology Breakthrough, Beware of Theme Speculation Risks

This analysis is based on reports from multiple media outlets including Sina Finance [1] and Securities Times [2]. Pulead (002324) hit a limit-up on January 14, 2026, entering the limit-up pool. The stock had already achieved 4 consecutive limit-ups from January 5 to 8, continued to rise on January 9 to hit a record high of 23.42 yuan, with a 20-day gain of as much as 86.76%. The limit-up is mainly driven by three factors: a breakthrough in LCP materials technology (the company is the only domestic enterprise to achieve large-scale mass production of LCP films), the brain-computer interface concept, and breakthroughs in the commercial aerospace sector, supported by the excellent performance of a 55.42% year-on-year increase in net profit in the first three quarters of 2025. However, the company has clearly announced that related businesses will not generate large-scale revenue in the short term. The current stock price is more reflective of theme speculation, and investors need to be wary of high-level pullback risks.

Pulead, as the only domestic enterprise to achieve large-scale mass production of LCP films, is one of only three companies worldwide with this capability [3]. LCP film products have extremely low water absorption, excellent high-frequency transmission performance, and good biocompatibility, making them an ideal choice for flexible electrode materials in brain-computer interfaces. The company has carried out joint development and verification with overseas customers on LCP films for brain-computer interface applications, and clinical trials are currently underway [1][3]. This technological barrier has built a significant competitive moat for the company.

LCP fibers have been supplied in batches to the supply chain of leading domestic low-orbit satellite clients, mainly used in satellite flexible solar wings, with the value of LCP fibers required for a single satellite being approximately 5,000 yuan [1]. The project began supplying materials to low-orbit satellites in April 2025, marking a key step for the company in emerging high-end application fields.

In the first three quarters of 2025, the company achieved operating revenue of 6.787 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.29%; net profit attributable to parent companies was 325 million yuan, a substantial year-on-year increase of 55.42%; non-recurring net profit increased by 68.28%; cash flow from operating activities was 689 million yuan, a year-on-year surge of 203.46% [4]. The third quarter performance was particularly outstanding, with operating revenue of 2.698 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.69%, and net profit of 118 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 80.8% [4]. The better-than-expected performance growth mainly benefited from the recovery of the modified plastics industry boom and the continuous expansion of the company’s production capacity.

Modified materials production capacity will increase from 550,000 tons to 700,000 tons, and the 150,000-ton production capacity at the Tianjin base is about to be put into operation [5]. The sodium-ion battery business received 126 million yuan in strategic investment, and Haisida Power has established a stable customer base in the energy storage market [6]. The pattern of synergistic development across multiple business lines has initially taken shape.

From a technical perspective, the stock exhibits typical strong limit-up characteristics: it achieved 4 consecutive limit-ups from January 5 to 8, continued to rise by over 8% on January 9 to hit a record high of 23.42 yuan, with a cumulative 20-day gain of 86.76% [1]. The single-day turnover on January 8 exceeded 4 billion yuan, with extremely high turnover rate, indicating high capital participation but also increasing divergence.

Regarding capital flows, data from the Dragon and Tiger List on January 6 showed a turnover of 525 million yuan, total purchases of 300 million yuan, and total sales of 473 million yuan [1]. Hot money and institutional investors showed a net buying trend, but foreign investors sold net, indicating high enthusiasm for domestic speculation while foreign investors are relatively cautious. The characteristics of capital game are obvious, with signs of short-term speculative capital dominance being prominent.

Market sentiment shows polarized characteristics. On the positive side, institutional investors are actively entering the market, with the Dragon and Tiger List on January 6 showing net institutional buying; brokerage analysts have given positive ratings, with Huajin Securities initiating coverage with a “Buy” rating, and Everbright Securities maintaining an “Overweight” rating [5]; coupled with the dual hot concepts of brain-computer interface and commercial aerospace, market attention is extremely high.

However, risk warning factors are also significant. On January 9, the company issued a stock price volatility announcement, clearly stating that due to the long certification cycle of LCP film products in the brain-computer interface field, large-scale orders are not expected to be generated in the short term, no operating revenue has been formed so far, and it will not have a significant impact on the company’s performance within a certain period; the order volume of LCP fiber material business is very small, accounting for less than 0.01% of the company’s total operating revenue, and it is expected to have little impact on the company’s performance in the short term; in the medium and long term, it may face full market competition risks, and there is a possibility of certification failure [7]. The company also reminded investors to invest rationally and pay attention to risks.

, the case of Pulead reflects the logic of the A-share market’s pursuit of technology themes. Although the company clearly reminds that related businesses will not contribute substantial revenue in the short term, the technical scarcity of LCP materials (the only domestic player, top 3 globally) gives it strategic value of “unique in the market”, which is the core logic of the capital market giving a high premium. As a cutting-edge technology track, brain-computer interface, and commercial aerospace as a key policy-supported direction, the combined effect of the two concepts far exceeds the market influence of a single theme.

, the continuous limit-up of this stock has produced a demonstration effect on the valuation system of the modified plastics industry. As the third-ranked company in the industry in terms of operating revenue [1], Pulead’s technological breakthrough has broken the market’s cognitive boundary of traditional cyclical industries, promoting investors to re-evaluate the growth logic and valuation methodology of new material enterprises.

, the net selling of foreign investors on the Dragon and Tiger List is in sharp contrast with the speculation by domestic hot money. This capital structure often indicates a high risk of short-term pullback. The severity of the wording in the company’s official risk announcement is rare among similar companies, and the management’s intention to actively cool down the market is obvious.

Risk Type	Specific Description	Risk Level
Performance Realization Delay Risk	The company clearly announced that the brain-computer interface business will not generate large-scale revenue in the short term, and the commercial aerospace business accounts for less than 0.01% of total operating revenue	🔴 High
Valuation Pullback Risk	20-day gain of 86.76%, the current stock price has fully reflected market expectations for the next 3-5 years	🔴 High
Capital Game Risk	High turnover rate + huge trading volume + net selling by foreign investors, doubts remain about subsequent capital absorption capacity	🟠 Medium-High
Competition and Certification Risk	Facing full market competition in the medium and long term, there is a possibility of certification failure in the brain-computer interface field	🟡 Medium

: If the brain-computer interface product clinical trials pass certification smoothly and commercial aerospace orders gradually increase, the company’s LCP materials business is expected to transition from the concept phase to the harvest phase, at which point performance growth will receive substantial support.

: If market sentiment remains exuberant, coupled with the entry of new capital, the stock price may rise inertially to around the psychological threshold of 25 yuan. However, such opportunities are classic high-risk speculative bets, with an extremely unfavorable risk-reward ratio.

The current period is a highly sensitive time window: the short-term gain has been substantial but the momentum has not been completely exhausted, and the market is still digesting the company’s risk warning announcement. It is recommended that existing investors closely monitor market changes, and investors who have not taken positions maintain a wait-and-see attitude. If the following signals appear, timely response is required: breaking below the 5-day moving average indicates a weakening short-term trend, and breaking below the 10-day moving average confirms a pullback.

The current limit-up of Pulead is the result of the resonance of three factors: technological breakthroughs, performance growth, and market sentiment. The technical scarcity of LCP materials (the only domestic enterprise to achieve large-scale mass production) provides the company with a core competitive moat, and the 55.42% year-on-year increase in net profit in the first three quarters of 2025 provides fundamental support for the stock price. However, the company has clearly announced that the brain-computer interface and commercial aerospace related businesses will not generate large-scale revenue in the short term, and the current stock price is more reflective of theme speculation. Capital flow data shows that hot money and institutions are actively participating but foreign investors are relatively cautious. High turnover rate and huge trading volume indicate significant capital divergence. Investors should view hot topics rationally, pay attention to the company’s actual performance realization, and be wary of high-level pullback risks.

: Historical high is approximately 23.42 yuan, first support level is approximately 21-22 yuan (integer threshold and previous platform), second support level is approximately 19-20 yuan (near the 10-day moving average), short-term resistance level is approximately 25 yuan (psychological threshold).
