Bank of America Securities Adjusts Lens Technology (06613) Price Target to HK$24, Citing Near-term Headwinds but Long-term Optimism

Stock News04-17

Bank of America Securities has released a research report adjusting its H-share price target for Lens Technology (06613) downward from HK$28 to HK$24, while reaffirming its "Buy" rating. The stock is currently trading at 20 times the estimated price-to-earnings ratio for 2026-2027, which is below its historical average. As for Lens Technology's A-shares (300433.SZ), the bank downgraded its rating from "Buy" to "Underperform" due to elevated valuations. The A-shares are currently trading at 30 times the forecasted P/E ratio, near their historical average, and command a premium compared to the average 21 times P/E of major Apple suppliers. The A-share price target was reduced from RMB 33 to RMB 27. Lens Technology reported a loss in the first quarter of this year, attributed to high operating expenses and foreign exchange losses. The impact of currency risk and weak orders from Android customers is expected to persist in the near term. However, the company is poised to benefit from iPhone specification upgrades in 2026-2027, and its expansion into several new business areas should support long-term growth. The bank has lowered its profit forecasts for 2026-2028 by 14% to 24%.
