With Apple Inc’s iPhone X selling like hot cakes, investors are chasing after profits from the wireless charging market. Recently, stock prices have soared for integrated circuit design companies Generalplus Technology Inc, ENE Technology Inc, Holtek Semiconductor Inc and Nuvoton Technology Corp. Stock market analysts say that with Apple leading the way with wireless charging, they expect the technology’s adoption rate in mobile phones will begin to take off and believe Chinese mobile phone manufacturers will follow suit.
