FII’s management provided constructive guidance for 2026, reiterating significant yoy growth in 1Q26, followed by sequential growth every single quarter in 2026.

Maintain BUY and keep target price unchanged at Rmb89.50.
Moutai reported 2025 revenue of Rmb172,054m (-1% yoy) and net profit of Rmb82,320m (-5% yoy), marking its first-ever revenue and net profit decline since listing. This implies 4Q25 revenue of Rmb41,150m (-19% yoy) and net profit of Rmb17,693m (-30% yoy). The company did not set its 2026 sales target, but we believe its current focus is on price stabilisation and channel optimisation. Cut target price by 17% to Rmb1,395.00 and downgrade to HOLD.
Han’s Laser’s 4Q25 revenue grew 30.2% yoy and 18.6% qoq to Rmb6.0b, beating estimates.

Going forward, we anticipate stronger growth in 2026, driven by a sharp recovery in Apple supply chain orders and robust AIrelated PCB equipment demand. We raise our target price to Rmb91.00 but downgrade to HOLD for now.
