We attended Tsingtao Brewery’s 2025 analyst briefing. For 2026, it expects the beer industry to remain stable. It set volume growth as the first priority, aiming to drive revenue and profit growth through product mix optimisation. The company has introduced light dry beer, positioned between classic and white beer, to further strengthen its competitiveness in the premium segment. On the cost front, management expects COGS to increase slightly in 2026, due to rising aluminium prices. Maintain BUY...
2025 revenue/net profit grew 45%/21.5% yoy, largely in line with our estimates, primarily driven by robust performance across both B2C and B2B businesses. For 2026, the company expects the growth momentum in 2025 to continue for both B2C and B2B businesses and achieve gross margin expansion. The company sees potential impact from rising fuel surcharges on net margin but partially offset by a weaker Korean won. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of HK$4.85 based on 8.5x 2026F PE.
Sunny Optical delivered a solid 2025 earnings beat, with adjusted net profit surging 37.8% yoy to Rmb3.7b, driven by strong margin recovery across its smartphone and vehicle segments. Overall gross margins reached 19.7%. The company provided upbeat 2026 guidance, targeting over 7% growth in both top-line and bottom line, supported by handset recovery and robust pan-IoT expansion. Maintain BUY and cut target price to HK$80.10 on a lower valuation multiple.
Mindray’s 2025 results missed, with revenue down 9.38% yoy, and adjusted net earnings declining 27.3% yoy. All three main segments reported significant revenue decreases in 2025. Mindray expects revenue growth to turn positive in 2026 and accelerate in 2027, driven by continued overseas market expansion. Mindray expects net profit to achieve positive growth excluding potential foreign change impact. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of Rmb195.00, factoring in the weak 2025 results and its r...
Miniso reported 4Q25 revenue of Rmb6,254m (+33% yoy), and adjusted net profit of Rmb853m (+8% yoy). For 1Q26, management expects revenue to grow by 25% yoy, with SSS in Mainland China achieving high single-digit growth and North America delivering mid- to high-teens growth. For the full year, management expects revenue to grow at high teens. Adjusted operating profit and net profit are expected to grow at a faster pace compared with 2025. Maintain BUY; cut target price to US$26.10.
GFL’s 4Q25 GAAP net profit came in above estimates at Rmb1,587m (+185.1% qoq), and adjusted net profit turned positive at Rmb557m. Earnings will be driven by a recovery of lithium carbonate prices, ramp-up of upstream projects and battery sales. Maintain our 2026/27 net profit forecasts at Rmb3.21b/Rmb5.24b, and introduce our 2028 net profit forecast of Rmb5.35b. Maintain BUY with unchanged target prices of HK$90.00/Rmb80.00for H-share/A-share.
4Q25 net profit of Rmb16m met guidance, driven by a 4.0ppt yoy gross margin expansion to 33.0% and strict cost controls, despite revenue missing expectations due to weak overseas sales. For 2026, management targets Rmb6b in revenue, a 1.0-2.0ppt margin expansion, and 45,000 robot shipments, with growth coming from the automotive, electronic, and Li-ion battery sectors. Maintain HOLD with a Rmb21.20 target price as we continue to monitor the company’s execution.
Core profit fell 17.2% yoy to Rmb13.01b, slightly above estimates, on weaker revenue and margins, while net gearing rose to 34.5%; the HK$0.5 DPS implies a stable 38% payout. In 2026, the company aims to stabilise sales and continue proactive land banking. During the 15th FYP, it targets over 10% annual growth in commercial operations and will strengthen its dualengine strategy. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of HK$15.14.
