2H25 net profit came in below estimates at Rmb1,263m (+429.4% yoy/-23.4% hoh) on sales volume and margins. Looking ahead, we expect Yadea’s earnings to be driven by the recovery of China’s electric two-wheeler market, product premiumisation, and exports. Trim our 2026-27 net profit forecasts by 11%/11% to Rmb3,205m/Rmb3,679m respectively and introduce 2028 net profit forecast of Rmb4,126m, implying 14% three-year CAGR. Maintain BUY; cut target price from HK$19.50 to HK$18.00, pegged to 15x 2026F...
2H25 results missed. For 2026, management expects mid-single-digit capacity growth. Specifically, it continues to remain positive on Uniqlo, while PUMA faces uncertainties due to destocking. Management sees uncertainties in gross margin, mainly due to the volatility in raw material prices, higher depreciation of the fabric factory and forex impact. However, the impact from US tariffs should remain at the same level as in 2H25. Maintain BUY but cut target price by 11% to HK$72.50.
Midea reported 4Q25 revenue of Rmb93,786m (+6% yoy), and net profit of Rmb6,062m (-11% yoy). Excluding the M&A impact, 4Q25 revenue would have increased by low single digit yoy and net margin would been flat yoy. For 1Q26, management expects both revenue and profit to still record growth on last year’s high base. For 2026, management expects revenue growth in the mid-to-high single-digit range, and net margin to remain relatively stable. Maintain BUY but cut target price by 2% to Rmb112.60.
2025 results beat expectations with accelerated revenue and earnings growth of 22.6% yoy and 27.1% yoy respectively. The strong growth was mainly due to a surge in innovative product sales and collaboration revenue. Hansoh expects revenue growth to remain resilient at double-digit for 2026. The growing number of new product approvals and out-licensing deals will support sustainable revenue and earnings growth in the years ahead. Maintain BUY and lower target price to HK$45.00, factoring in recen...
Goldwind reported 2025 earnings of Rmb2,774m (+49.1% yoy), missing our estimate mainly due to lower-than-guided turbine shipments and fewer wind farm disposals. Margins improved, with WTG gross margin rebounding to 9.0% as pricing stabilised and larger-capacity turbines dominated deliveries. External shipments reached 26.6GW (+66% yoy) and backlog remained solid at 53.7GW. Management guides for 2026 shipments of 45GW and WTG margin of 9-10%, reflecting caution over logistics costs, overseas comp...
CMOC reported 2025 earnings of Rmb20,338.8m (+50.3% yoy), in line with expectations, driven by higher copper/cobalt prices and stronger output from its DRC operations. Group gross margin expanded to 23.9% (+7.3ppt yoy), with copper/cobalt margins rising to 55.2%/63.6%, respectively. Copper production reached 741,149 tonnes (+14% yoy), supported by throughput improvements at TFM and KFM. 2026 copper output is guided at 760,000-820,000 tonnes. Liquidity remains strong despite working-capital swing...

Excluding the impact of goodwill impairment, 4Q25 net profit would have increased by 151% yoy. In 2025, Hainan sales showed recovery in 2H25 with Sanya rebounding strongly, while Sunrise Shanghai saw further deterioration. Maintain BUY but cut target price by 7% to Rmb99.80.
CR Mixc’s 2025 results met expectations, with core net profit up 13.7% yoy to Rmb3,950m.

CR Land’s 2025 core net profit fell 11.6% yoy but beat expectations on better-than-expected DP margins and strong IP performance, while gearing edged up.

We raise our earnings forecasts and lift our target price by 4.5% to HK$37.00. Maintain BUY.
CMB’s results were in line with the preliminary results as net profit grew 0.8% yoy, due to a narrowing decline in PPOP amid positive NII growth and accelerated fee income growth. Asset quality deteriorated sequentially, with a sudden spike in property developer NPL and continued pressure from the retail segment. Management is more cautious on the 2026 outlook, particularly in NIM and asset quality. Maintain HOLD given the gloomy outlook and unsurprising shareholder returns. Target price: HK$49....
BYDE reported a significant 4Q25 earnings miss, with net profit declining 68.6% yoy to Rmb378m on a deteriorating product mix and market share losses in the higher-margin iPhone component business. Management guides for flattish 2026 revenue, positioning it as a transitional year before growth recovers in 2027 on improved AI server contributions and Apple business recovery. Downgrade to HOLD due to headwinds in 2026. Cut target price to HK$26.40.
4Q25 net profit came in as expected at Rmb9,286m (-38.2% yoy/+18.7% qoq).
