Stock Track | Times Electric Plunges Despite Strong Earnings on Nomura Downgrade

Stock Track08-27

Shares of Times Electric, a leading Chinese train manufacturer, plummeted as much as 11% on Monday despite the company reporting a 31% jump in first-half profit and robust revenue growth of 20%.

The steep sell-off came after Nomura downgraded the stock to "Neutral" from "Buy" and lowered its price target to HK$32 from HK$35, citing concerns over potential headwinds for the company.

While Times Electric's attributable profit for the first six months of 2024 surged 31% year-over-year to 1.51 billion yuan ($214 million), and its earnings per share rose 32% to 1.07 yuan, these solid results were overshadowed by Nomura's bearish call, which triggered a wave of profit-taking.
