(Yicai Global) July 14 -- Shares of two Huawei suppliers, Ofilm Group and Huatian Technology, opened higher this morning after they predicted robust gains for the first half of this year from a year ago amid rising demand despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

Huatian's equity price [SHE:002185] started the day 4.3 percent up at CNY19.83 (USD2.80) after the integrated circuit packaging and testing equipment maker said that its net profit should double over the six months due to expanding domestic demand, the Tianshui-based firm announced yesterday.
