downgrade

Reason
The analyst rating for CHINA OVS PPT was downgraded from Overweight to Underweight by JPMorgan due to several factors:
1. Profit Warning: The company issued a profit warning, estimating a 9-10% decline in net profit for 2025, which contrasts with the market's expectation of a 5% increase. This marks the third disappointment for investors following related party transactions and missed results in previous quarters.
2. Forecasted Declines: JPMorgan forecasts a continued decline in net profit, predicting a further 2% decrease in both 2026 and 2027 due to margin pressure.
3. Dividend Yield: Although JPMorgan believes the company may increase its dividend payout ratio, the resulting dividend yield of 3.8% is considered unattractive compared to the industry average of 4.6%.
4. Target Price Reduction: The target price was cut from $7 to $3.7, reflecting a more pessimistic outlook on the company's financial performance.
These factors collectively led to the downgrade in the analyst rating.
