0202 GMT - Aluminum Corp. of China's capacity expansion is likely to reinforce its long-term competitiveness, says DBS Group Research's Tina Ting Hu in a note. The Chinese aluminum producer's acquisition of a Brazilian aluminum company with Rio Tinto is likely to enhance the former's resource footprint and expand its upstream aluminum portfolio, she says. Chalco's higher capital expenditure is also likely to increase its long-term product competitiveness, she adds. Elevated aluminum prices should also drive further results improvement, she says. DBS retains its buy rating, as well as target price of 13.80 yuan on its Shanghai-listed shares and HK$15.20 on its Hong Kong-listed shares. The China-listed shares rise 5.2% to 12.04 yuan, while the Hong Kong shares gain 7.0% to HK$11.57. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
