$178 -> $154
Reason
JPMorgan lowered the target price of UBTECH ROBOTICS from HKD178 to HKD154 due to concerns about the company's frequent fundraising activities, which may indicate the capital intensity and competitive landscape of the humanoid robot industry. Despite this, the report highlights UBTECH's potential as a high-growth company, anticipating significant government orders that could boost revenue and shipment targets. The company's inclusion in the MSCI China Index is also expected to enhance liquidity and market visibility, leading to a maintained Overweight rating.
Citi's positive analyst rating is based on discussions with five humanoid robot-related companies, which indicated a strong outlook for the industry. The companies expect significant revenue growth, with projections of exponential increases or at least a year-over-year doubling in revenue for the upcoming year. This optimism is attributed to the acceleration of production by both Chinese and US humanoid robot companies, as well as advancements in supply chain construction and production capacity among leaders in the new energy vehicle and humanoid robot sectors. As a result, Citi has designated UBTECH ROBOTICS as its top pick in the humanoid robot sector.
