0749 GMT - Xiaomi is expected to post softer on-year net profit growth for 3Q, partly weighed by weaker Internet of Things seasonal demand in 2H and the diminishing effect of Chinese subsidies, HSBC analysts say in a note. Meanwhile, Xiaomi's EV margin may narrow due to a lower mix of higher-end SU7 Ultra models. HSBC raises its 2025 net profit estimate by 7%, citing better cost control. But it lowers its 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates by 9% and 7%, respectively, to reflect pressure on revenue and margins. However, the bank says it remains confident in Xiaomi's premiumization strategy for its core businesses and see share-price upside potential. HSBC maintains a buy call on the stock but trims its target price to HK$65.40 from HK$75.90. Shares last traded at HK$42.70.(jason.chau@wsj.com)
