The analyst rating for XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) from Morgan Stanley is based on historical data showing that the company has successfully expanded its smartphone gross margins during previous periods of rising DRAM prices (2016-17, 2019-21, and 2022-23). This success is attributed to XIAOMI's effective cost transfer mechanism and its ability to implement product price hikes in response to significant cost increases. The report suggests that if memory costs enter a prolonged super cycle, smartphone gross margins may face downward pressure, but there is potential for recovery in corporate profit margins if the cycle reverses. Consequently, Morgan Stanley has given XIAOMI-W an Overweight rating with a target price of HKD62.
The analyst rating for Xiaomi was given as a "Buy" with a target price of HKD50 due to the positive news of Lei Jun, the founder, increasing his shareholding in the company. His purchase of 2.6 million Class B ordinary shares, which raised his stake to 23.26%, was viewed favorably by the broker, indicating confidence in the company's future performance.

The analyst rating from Goldman Sachs for XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) is a "Buy" with a target price of HKD53.5. The reasoning behind this rating includes the company's recent advancements in AI technology, particularly the full open-source release of its MiMo-Embodied model, which integrates autonomous driving and embodied intelligence. Additionally, XIAOMI-W's investment of over RMB7 billion in AI R&D by 2025 is expected to lead to further technological achievements and progress in applying AI within its ecosystem. This is anticipated to drive differentiated development in the "Human x Car x Home" ecosystem, contributing positively to the company's growth prospects.
