UBS Raises Price Target for TECHTRONIC IND to HK$148, Keeps Buy Rating

Stock News07-07

UBS has issued a research report adjusting its outlook for TECHTRONIC IND (ASX: 00669). The firm has increased its 2026 net profit forecast for the company by 1.4%, citing expectations for stronger gross and operating margins. Consequently, UBS has raised its price target from HK$145 to HK$148, while reiterating its "Buy" rating.

The report highlights a significant shift in the tariff environment affecting the company. Previously, Vietnam was set to impose a 20% reciprocal tariff starting in August 2025, which would have negatively impacted TECHTRONIC IND due to its substantial production exposure in the country. However, with the Vietnamese tariff being reduced to 10% from late February and expected to remain around that level through July, this previous headwind has now transformed into a favorable factor for the company's profitability.

UBS now forecasts the company's first-half revenue to grow by 5.5% year-on-year, with growth accelerating to 7.8% in the second half. The full-year net profit forecast stands at US$1.455 billion. The firm concludes that the company's current valuation is not expensive.
