1009 GMT - Lenovo Group's solid fiscal 1Q results should help offset tariff uncertainty, S&P Global Ratings analysts say in a note. The company benefited i the quarter from corporate purchases ahead of the end-of-life deadline for Windows 10 later this year, rather than from individual consumers amid a subdued macroeconomic environment, they say. Global PC shipment growth could slow in 2H 2025 with annual growth likely around 2%-3%, they add. Demand accelerated ahead of tariffs in the U.S. but is unlikely to persist in 2H, they add. S&P maintains its forecast for Lenovo to deliver single-digit profit growth in fiscal 2026. Shares last closed 3.05% higher at HK$11.15. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
