The analyst rating for Brilliance Chi (01114.HK) was influenced by the company's negative profit alert, which forecasted a significant decline in net profit for 2025, expected to decrease by less than 40% year-over-year to over RMB1.9 billion, falling below market consensus. The report from Deutsche Bank highlighted that the decline in profit was primarily due to a sharp decrease in investment income from its joint venture with BMW and losses from its new Jinbei local brand business. Despite lowering the net profit estimation by 32% and revising the target price down from $4 to $3.8, the rating was maintained at Buy, indicating a belief in the company's long-term potential despite the short-term challenges.
