0149 GMT - Johnson Electric's profit alert for its FY ended March came in below expectations due to higher costs and non-cash charges, Deutsche Bank analyst Bin Wang says in a note. The company indicates it will continue implementing cost-reduction measures such as automation and product standardization to offset headwinds from higher raw material costs, Wang says. However, it remains well positioned in the humanoid robotics market, with early-stage sampling underway with multiple customers, including start-ups and automakers in China and overseas. Deutsche Bank cuts its target price to HK$46.0 from HK$49.0 and maintains a buy call on the stock, which is down 14.25% at HK$22.02. (venkat.pr@wsj.com)
