BEIJING -- Leading Chinese display maker BOE Technology Group expects net profit for the January-March period to increase roughly ninefold on the year as consumers stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic snap up computers and TVs.
BOE's net profit likely reached 5 billion yuan to 5.2 billion yuan ($764 million to $794 million) for the quarter -- roughly equivalent to the company's total for all of 2020 -- according to a Monday release.
