0625 GMT - Deutsche Bank prefers Chinese auto stocks with overseas exposure and improvements in their product mix, analysts write in a note. Its top picks are Geely, Chery and Great Wall Motor. Overseas markets generally offer not only higher volume growth but also high profitability for Chinese automakers. Export volumes are expected to rise 16% this year and 13% next year and Chinese automakers generally enjoy 5 to 10 percentage points higher gross margins in overseas markets, because of higher selling prices, they say. Thus, DB prefers companies with more overseas exposure given an expected local market downturn in 2026. Improvements in their product mix will also be a key factor to offset an expected auto sector downturn next year. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
