CLSA Raises Lenovo Price Target to HK$12.9, Keeps "Outperform" Rating

Deep News04-25 11:00

CLSA released a research report stating that Lenovo Group's non-HKFRS net profit for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31 reached US$377 million, a 36% year-on-year increase, surpassing market expectations by 20%. The firm believes the strong performance was driven by an 8.7% year-on-year growth in PC shipments, robust PC profitability, and a return to profitability for the server business. CLSA maintained a target price-to-earnings ratio of 10 times for Lenovo while raising the target price from HK$10.4 to HK$12.9 and reaffirming its "Outperform" rating.

The report noted that the Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) business benefited from strong server demand from cloud service providers, primarily due to concerns over memory and CPU shortages and demand for AI inference CPU servers. CLSA forecasts ISG revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter to increase by 45% year-on-year and 15% quarter-on-quarter to US$6 billion, with an operating profit margin of 0.6%. The firm expects this strong momentum to continue into the June quarter.

CLSA expressed the view that Lenovo's robust growth in PC shipments, stable profit margins, and strong server business performance all exceeded both the firm's and the market's prior expectations. It anticipates that positive sentiment will persist for at least the next two quarters. CLSA has raised its profit forecasts for Lenovo's fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2027, moving the valuation base to fiscal year 2028.
