Movement Alert｜CHOW TAI FOOK Falls 3.29% in Regular Trading, market digests broker downgrade despite strong profit guidance

Market Focus10-23

On October 23, CHOW TAI FOOK fell 3.29% intraday, trading at HK$10.69, with turnover of HK$33.83 million.

The clearest recent catalyst is an investment bank downgrade released on October 22, when UBS cut the stock to Neutral and set a target price of RMB27, a development that had already been linked to selling pressure in the shares.

This more cautious sell-side stance arrived even as the company issued upbeat operating updates the same day. CHOW TAI FOOK said first-half net profit for fiscal 2027 is expected to rise about 90% to 100%, helped by fair value gains from gold loan contract revaluation and improved sales in core markets. Separately, fiscal second-quarter retail sales value slipped 0.5% year on year, with mainland China down 5.3% while Hong Kong, Macau and other markets rose 33.2%. The mixed sales picture, alongside the downgrade, helps explain why positive earnings guidance did not translate into immediate share price support.
