0645 ET - CGS International names SK Hynix and Samsung as its top picks in the semiconductor sector, in which it holds an overweight rating. The sector faces tighter-than-expected supply-demand dynamics in DRAM, with producers winding down DDR4 chips production but not yet able to fully ramp up DDR5 output, notes analyst Kyunga Lee. CGS International forecasts NAND memory chips to see a 5%-10% rise in prices. SK Hynix and Samsung are well placed to expand production and supply of high-bandwidth memory chips, Lee says, while competitive pressure from Chinese peers are expected to take longer to materialize than expected.

0600 ET - Lens Technology is projected to deliver a 35% net profit CAGR from 2024 to 2027, supported by demand from consumer electronics, smart vehicles and emerging device revenues, says CGS International analyst Ray Kwok. He expects the company to secure over 60% of iPhone 17's upgraded cover-glass orders in 2025, supply ultra-thin glass for Apple's first foldable phone in 2026 and take on assembly work for Xiaomi. Its smart-driving business, including premium auto glass supplied to Tesla and Chinese automakers, should also lift margins, he adds. Emerging device segments such as precision glass panels and robotics components are poised for strong growth. CGS forecasts net profit to climb 44% in 2025 and 32% in 2026, initiating coverage with an add rating and target price of HK$32.00. (jason.chau@wsj.com)

Losses from Xiaoxiang Supermarket, another unit under its new initiatives, are also tightly controlled. Nomura keeps a buy rating and a target price of HK$123.00. Shares last traded at HK$96.90.
