Qnity Electronics (Q) stock is in focus after the company introduced its Stackplane CMP slurries, a new product family for advanced packaging that targets AI and high performance computing applications.

However, the year to date share price return of 40.54% still points to strong earlier momentum that has eased in recent months.
