On October 30, NEW ORIENTAL-S rose 3.97% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$38.92, with turnover of HK$22.35 million.
The latest market move followed a sharp selloff after the company reported fiscal first-quarter results, with the subsequent rebound reflecting a partial recovery from that earnings-driven weakness.
For the quarter ended August 31, NEW ORIENTAL-S reported net revenue of $1.874 billion, up 23.1% year over year, operating profit of $374.7 million, up 20.5%, and net income attributable to shareholders of $273.2 million, up 13.5%. The company reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of $6.454 billion to $6.680 billion, implying growth of 14% to 18%. However, operating margin was 20.0%, down from 20.4% a year earlier, while deferred revenue rose 11.2% to $2.12 billion, factors that had fueled concerns about slower margin expansion and growth moderation. Several brokerages also lowered target prices while maintaining positive ratings.
