On July 23, SITC rose 3.43% in regular trading, reaching HKD 39.18 per share with turnover of HKD 164 million, marking a fresh all-time high as its market capitalization surpassed HKD 100 billion for the first time.
The shipping sector has continued to strengthen in recent sessions. CICC maintains an \"outperform\" rating on SITC with a target price of HKD 40, citing optimism that intra-Asia industrial relocation will drive sustained cargo volume growth. UBS also raised its target price to HKD 33.8 previously, reflecting stronger-than-expected volume and freight rate trends.
On fundamentals, SITC reported Q1 revenue of approximately USD 772 million, up 1.5% year-over-year, with container shipping volume rising 7.6% to 855,795 TEUs. Management expects the company to benefit from the container freight rate rebound since March, while fuel cost increases can be fully passed through to customers via surcharges. The company also exercised options to build six additional 1,100-TEU vessels for USD 136.8 million, expanding its owned fleet to meet growing operational demand.
