0828 GMT - Xiaomi's auto revenue and margins will likely continue to rise, HSBC Global Research analysts write in a note. The company's strong auto margin in 2Q was due to the rapid production ramp-up of the SU7 model and support from components and parts suppliers. Upbeat sales of auto accessories and economies of scale benefit may also have supported the strong margin. The brokerage lifts its auto revenue and margin assumptions for the company for 2024-2026. The next catalysts will be the launches of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra and a new EV model, both due by the end of this year, they add. HSBC maintains a buy rating on the stock and raises the target price to HK$27.50 from HK$25.30. Shares closed at HK$18.82. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
