Harbin Electric's stock experienced a sharp intraday plummet of 5.07%, reflecting significant selling pressure during the trading session.
The decline follows a notable divergence in institutional analysis. Citigroup recently lowered its net profit forecast for the company by 4%, citing weaker-than-expected revenue from coal-fired power equipment, and trimmed its target price. In contrast, Guoyuan International maintained a "Buy" rating and raised its target price, highlighting strong year-on-year revenue growth, positive cash flow, and a robust order backlog.
The sharp pullback is attributed to profit-taking activity after a substantial gain in the prior session, as investors weigh the conflicting signals between challenges in the coal-fired equipment segment and growth prospects in nuclear power and the company's strong order book.
