inspec hits daily limit up on semiconductor-led supply squeeze speculation
inspec <6656> hit its daily limit up amid a flood of buy orders. As capital remains concentrated in the semiconductor sector, investors are increasingly rotating into small- and mid-cap laggards. inspec, which specializes in visual inspection equipment for semiconductor package substrates, is positioned to capture expanding demand for AI-related semiconductors. The company projects an 11% year-on-year increase in operating profit for the fiscal year ending April 2026, with market speculation pointing to accelerated growth in fiscal 2027. Despite a modest market capitalization of under 3,000 million yen, the stock maintains a high free-float ratio and ample liquidity. On the supply side, investment funds betting on further upside are flowing in amid concerns of a share shortage, exacerbated by current stock lending restrictions.
