Movement Alert|BYD Electronic Falls 3.21% in Regular Trading, Citi Sell Rating and Weak Consumer Electronics Continue to Weigh on Shares

Market Focus06-18

On June 18, BYD Electronic fell 3.21% in regular trading, trading at HK$23.58/share, with turnover of approximately HK$98 million, extending its recent downtrend.

On the news front, Citi previously cut its target price for BYD Electronic to HK$22.6 and assigned a Sell rating, implying further downside from the current level. Citi noted that the company's Q1 revenue of RMB 38.2 billion represented a 32% quarter-over-quarter decline, far exceeding the five-year average seasonal drop of 16%, driven by iPhone seasonality and weak Android business. Gross margin 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 on an annual basis. Additionally, multiple institutions including Bank of America and BOCI have also lowered their target prices, reflecting broadly cautious sentiment toward the consumer electronics sector's near-term outlook and intensifying downward pressure on the stock.
