The drop follows the company's release of its 2025 annual results yesterday, which showed revenue of RMB 20.877 billion, an increase of 29.26% year-on-year. Profit attributable to equity holders was RMB 1.494 billion, surging 435.22% compared to the previous year.

The bank lowered its earnings per share estimates for 2026 and 2027 by 39% and 33%, respectively, citing headwinds in the smartphone business, partially offset by growth in non-handset segments. Citigroup also reduced its target price from HK$12 to HK$9 and downgraded its rating from "Buy" to "Neutral".
