0423 GMT - New Oriental Education & Technology's long-term growth outlook is likely unchanged, Daiwa Capital Markets analysts say in a research report. The Chinese company expects revenue growth to pick up in fiscal 2H, as its K-9 education business is ramping up and overseas test preparation adjustments will probably spur 20% revenue growth, the analysts note. Management expects its new education business to grow 40%-50% in FY 2026, with capacity expansion sustained at 20%-25%, they add. However, Daiwa cuts its FY 2026-FY 2027 EPS forecasts for the company by 6%-7% to reflect moderate education-margin expansion. It lowers the target price on H-shares to HK$67.00 from HK$70.00 and on ADRs to US$86.00 from US$90.00. Its ADRs last closed at US$55.97; its H-shares are last at HK$43.00. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
