On August 5, LAOPU GOLD rose 3.89% in regular trading, trading at 333.6 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 139 million. The stock rebounded after two consecutive sessions of decline following its July 28 crash of over 23%.
On the news front, while Bank of America Securities recently slashed its target price from 774 HKD to 350 HKD and cut earnings forecasts for the next two years by 15% and 20% respectively, multiple other major banks including Citi, Jefferies, Morgan Stanley, and Guotai Haitong have maintained buy or overweight ratings with target prices generally in the 500-600 HKD range, significantly above the current trading level. The prior selloff was triggered by Q2 results that badly missed expectations, with quarterly revenue declining approximately 80% sequentially to around RMB 31 billion and net profit of roughly RMB 6.35 billion, far below market forecasts. Management indicated that new product launches, store optimization, and peak-season marketing in the second half should drive a meaningful recovery in performance.
