0405 GMT - Sunny Optical Technology's recent share-price plunge has created a good entry window, CCB International analysts Clint Su and Ke Qu say in a note. Shares in the maker of optical-related products tumbled Wednesday, touching a five-year intraday low on their way to posting the biggest one-day drop since July 2023. The slide came after it warned 2023 profit would fall 50%-55%. The profit decline is likely due to the weaker-than-expected Chinese economic recovery, soft global smartphone demand, industry competition and a specification downgrade trend for smartphone cameras, CCB says. It notes that the worst is likely over for Sunny Optical, adding that 2024 should be a year of recovery. It keeps an outperform rating with a HK$85.00 target on Sunny Optical, partly due to its market share for high-end smartphones. (hoishan.chan@wsj.com)
