4Q25 adjusted net profit missed our estimate but met consensus at Rmb374m (+9.8% yoy/-10.2% qoq). We trim our 2025- 27 core net profit estimates by 8%/10% to Rmb1.78b/Rmb2.03b respectively. Joyson’s earnings growth will be driven by the ADAS and robotics business, together with the Rmb97b in order backlog at end-25. Maintain BUY but cut target price from Rmb45.00 to Rmb43.00.
Longyuan reported 2025 earnings of Rmb4,638m (-27.3% yoy), below expectations, due to lower realised power tariffs amid ongoing electricity market reforms and reduced utilisation hours from higher curtailment, despite a 1.2% yoy growth in total power generation to 76,469GWh. Management plans to add 4.5GW of new capacity in 2026. However, power tariffs are likely to trend lower as renewable generation increasingly participates in market-based electricity trading, although accelerated subsidy reco...
Macau’s Mar 26 GGR reached MOP22.6b, up 15% yoy and 10% mom, recovering to 88% of the 2019 level.

In Feb 26, visitations to Macau increased 14% mom and 33% yoy to 4.2m, up 18% vs 2019 levels. Maintain OVERWEIGHT; Galaxy remains our top pick.
China online retail companies’ 4Q25 revenue and margins were pressured by the high-base effect and the persistently intense on-demand delivery competition, which are likely to ease in 2026, seeing the solid NBS retail data for Jan-Feb 26, and the latest policy. Meanwhile, online gaming and OTA reported resilient 4Q25 top-line growth and continuous margin improvement, empowered by improved AI efficiency and benign competition. We expect improving AI monetisation and mixed earnings as AI investmen...
Chinese equities consolidated further in March amid outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East, with the HSI and MSCI China Index declining 6.9% mom and 7.5% mom respectively. We expect markets to stay volatile in April, though oversold rebounds are possible. We continue to focus on names with stronger fundamentals and remain buyers of tech names, adding Li Ning and Zijin Mining to our BUY list while taking profits on Ganfeng Lithium and cutting losses on LINK REIT.
Sector Update | Retail Same-store sales in Mar 26 turned positive across the board, driven by panic stockpiling and a low base in Mar 25. Valuations are attractive, already pricing in the risk of potential product shortages in 2Q26, particularly in plastic packaging. Most stocks will pay dividends in Apr 26, which should help provide a buffer against uncertainties. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Upgrade GLOBAL to BUY. Top picks are CRC and GLOBAL.

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.

Maintain BUY and cut target price to HK$80.10 on a lower valuation multiple.
