Daiwa Securities has initiated coverage on GEEKPLUS-W (02590) with a "Buy" rating and a target price of HK$38. The investment bank highlighted that the company stands as a global leader in warehouse automation mobile robot solutions, commanding a 9% market share.
The firm noted that GEEKPLUS-W delivers comprehensive warehouse automation solutions to clients, including Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and proprietary software systems. Despite the company's leadership position, AMR technology currently represents only 8% of the global warehouse automation market, with merely 22.5% of warehouses worldwide having achieved automation.
Daiwa emphasized the substantial growth potential in this sector, projecting that global AMR revenue will achieve a compound annual growth rate exceeding 30% between 2024 and 2029. The securities house believes GEEKPLUS-W is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growth trajectory as the sole publicly traded pure-play AMR company in the market.
