0937 GMT - Chow Tai Fook Jewellery's stock valuation appears appealing to Citi analysts. The Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer says it expects to post a 45%-55% rise in FY 2026 net profit, line with Citi's 53% growth projection. While investors are concerned that the company's gross profit margin could have peaked, the analysts reckon the risk is largely priced into its shares, which trade at 12X forward price-to-earnings ratio and a 7% dividend yield. Citi expects Chow Tai Fook's FY 2027 gross profit margin to narrow, but says its net profit margin should remain stable given likely lower hedging losses and flattish finance cost estimates. Citi retains its buy rating and HK$16.70 target price. Shares last closed 7.3% higher at HK$11.63. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
