Xiaomi is set to report its 2Q25 earnings later this month. We expect robust revenue growth supported by the IoT, EV and internet services segments. However, margins are projected to fall sequentially, mainly due to rising DDR4 prices for the smartphone business and a shift in the IoT product mix. Overall, we expect adjusted net profit to grow 71.4% yoy to Rmb10.3b. Maintain BUY; trim target price slightly to HK$69.20.

Trade deal in focus. Notwithstanding the 90-day truce on tariff escalation, it is still a 50/50 if there will be a “Big Beautiful Deal” between the US and China. The US is steadfast in wanting to cap China’s growth and restricting her access to the latest technology, while China is making a firm stand on its economic rights. We expect that higher US tariffs on Chinese goods are unavoidable, likely closer to the 60% mark, if Trump were to be seen making a credible move to onshore production in ...
