Citigroup: Downgraded COSCO SHIP PORT Target Price to HKD 5, Rating "Buy".
Citigroup released a Research Report stating that it has raised the core profit forecast for COSCO SHIP PORT (01199) for the fiscal years 2025 to 2026 by 2% to 5%, with the revised profit forecast for 2025 being 4% higher than the market consensus. The bank maintains a 'Buy' rating on COSCO SHIP PORT, with the Target Price adjusted from HKD 5.9 to HKD 5, mainly due to the bank's reduction of the long-term EBITDA forecast for 2025 to 2040 by 1% and an average increase in capital expenditure by 9%.
Citi: expects that Weichai Power's A-shares buyback will have limited impact on the stock price, lowering the Target Price to HKD 16.3.
Citi released a Research Report stating that Weichai Power (02338) first-quarter performance met expectations. Although the group announced it would use 0.5 billion to 1 billion RMB for stock repurchases in A-shares, the bank believes the amount only accounts for 0.24% to 0.49% of the group's Market Cap, and it is believed to have limited impact on short-term stock prices. The bank lowered its Target Price for H-shares from HKD 18.4 to HKD 16.3, maintaining a 'neutral' rating. The bank stated that it has adjusted the group's after-tax Net income forecasts for 2025 to 2027 downward by 12%, 4%, and 4% respectively, to reflect higher general and administrative expense ratios, and will adjust EBIT profit margin forecasts during the period.
Citi: Lowers the Target Price for FLAT GLASS to HKD 7.5, initiating a 30-day negative catalyst observation.
Citibank released a Research Report stating that due to the average selling price of solar glass being lowered, FLAT GLASS (06865) saw its net income drop by 86% year-on-year to 0.106 billion yuan in the first quarter. The group’s earnings have improved since a loss in last year's fourth quarter, and demand for solar glass in China has risen. However, Citibank believes that emergency installation demand is about to end, and market demand may decline in May. The bank maintains its "sell" rating, lowering the Target Price from 10 Hong Kong dollars to 7.5 Hong Kong dollars, and initiating a 30-day negative catalyst observation, anticipating that solar glass prices in China will further decline.
