Institutional perspective
Goldman Sachs: Alibaba's sale of Intime and Sun Art Retail to focus on core business and shareholder returns, with a 'Buy' rating.
Goldman Sachs issued a report stating, $BABA-W (09988.HK)$ Recently announced the sale of non-core offline retail business— $SUNART RETAIL (06808.HK)$ , at a maximum of HKD 1.75 per share, with a total maximum proceeds of HKD 12.298 billion. Based on SOTP valuation, the bank sets the group target price at HKD 131 and a 'Buy' rating.
Goldman Sachs noted that the transaction marks the second major non-core asset sale following the earlier announcement of the sale of Intime. The two assets are not significant in its SOTP valuation; Sun Art Retail and Intime's businesses account for all other segments, contributing very little to the group's profits.
China International Capital Corporation: The high dividend strategy still remains the main logic for trading China Mainland Banking stocks in 2025, recommending state-owned big banks and CM BANK.
China International Capital Corporation released a report on the outlook for domestic banking this year, expecting stable operations in the domestic banking industry with a reduction in net interest margin pressure (narrowing by about 10 to 15 basis points throughout the year). Debt disposal efforts will help repair the balance sheet (with a stable net non-performing loan generation rate), and revenue and profit growth in domestic banks will continue to show stability. Looking ahead, the monetary policy is moderately accommodative, with expected symmetrical interest rate cuts of 40 to 60 basis points and a reserve requirement ratio reduction of 100 basis points.
The firm believes that a high dividend strategy remains the main logic for trading domestic banking stocks in 2025, focusing on the level and certainty of dividend yield, recommending state-owned large banks. $CM BANK (03968.HK)$ The firm assigns. $CCB (00939.HK)$ 、 $ABC (01288.HK)$ and $ICBC (01398.HK)$ The rating is "Outperform the Industry", with target prices of HKD 8.91, HKD 5.09, and HKD 7.11.
Goldman Sachs: Downgrades ASMPT's target price to HKD 100, maintains "Buy" rating.
Goldman Sachs issued a report stating that $ASMPT (00522.HK)$ the target price has been lowered from HKD 108 to HKD 100, maintaining a "Buy" rating, primarily due to the growth in demand for advanced packaging tools alongside AI / High-Performance Computer Systems (HPC) and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM).
Goldman Sachs expects ASMPT's revenue in the fourth quarter to be HKD 3.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 7%.
