WUXI LEAD's stock soared 11.20% during intraday trading on Wednesday, marking a significant upward movement.
The rally is attributed to Bank of America Securities raising its target price for the stock from 57 HKD to 64 HKD while reiterating a Buy rating. This analyst action followed the company's Q1 results, which showed a 19% year-over-year revenue increase, though performance was below estimates due to timing of battery equipment revenue recognition.
Additionally, the company provided guidance for sequential gross margin improvement in the coming quarters as higher-margin battery equipment orders are recognized, bolstering investor confidence in its future profitability.
