Russia was the company's largest overseas market in 1Q with 45,901 units sold, up 79% on the year. The overseas sales have helped the company hit record average selling price in 1Q, Wang adds. Deutsche Bank raises its 2024 net profit forecast for the carmaker by 12.6%, It raises the stock's target to HK$14.00 from HK$13.00 and maintains a buy rating. Shares last at HK$12.60.
