Broker Analysis: Daiwa's research report indicates that while the fundamentals of CKH HOLDINGS remain unchanged, the stock's upside potential is limited due to already reflected favorable factors.
Rating Changes: Daiwa downgraded CKI HOLDINGS from Buy to Outperform and raised its target price from $63.5 to $66.3, reflecting a cautious outlook on the stock's performance.
