On June 16, BYD Electronic fell 3.31% in regular trading, trading at HK$24.54/share, with turnover of HK$138 million, extending the stock's recent downtrend.
On the news front, Citi previously downgraded BYD Electronic's target price to HK$22.6 and assigned a Sell rating, implying further downside from the current price level. Citi noted that the company's first-quarter revenue of RMB 38.2 billion declined 32% quarter-over-quarter, far exceeding the five-year average seasonal decline of 16%, primarily dragged down by iPhone seasonality and weakness in Android business. Gross margin also fell 1.1 percentage points year-over-year to 5.2%. Management guided full-year revenue to remain flat year-over-year, with Android EMS business expected to decline, contributing to cautious market sentiment toward second-quarter earnings prospects. Additionally, multiple institutions including Bank of America and BOCI have also lowered their target prices, reflecting a broadly cautious stance on BYD Electronic and the broader consumer electronics sector in the near term.
