CHERVON (02285) surged over 6%, closing up 6.57% at HK$21.98 with trading volume of HK$71.268 million at press time.
On the news front, CITIC Securities International issued a research report expressing optimism about CHERVON as a premium overseas brand benefiting from the dual resonance opportunity of the 30-year major US real estate recovery cycle and the left side of the 5-year inventory cycle. The firm remains bullish on accelerated demand-side growth over the next 2-3 years, with Vietnam's export capacity to the US expected to achieve basic coverage next year, driving profit margin recovery. Given the company's high-quality fundamentals and deep channel foundation, CHERVON is positioned to become one of the most resilient targets in this round of US real estate chain demand recovery.
Daiwa recently noted that CHERVON held an investor day, outlining a development strategy centered on its high-profit EGO brand. Management expects Vietnam production capacity to meet 60% of US export product demand by year-end, which should help alleviate market concerns about long-term tariff impacts and competition. Daiwa indicated that it had significantly reduced CHERVON forecasts after the Trump administration announced reciprocal tariff measures in April this year, primarily due to CHERVON having the highest concentration of Chinese production among the firms in its coverage universe.
The firm raised CHERVON's target price from HK$11 to HK$25, reflecting the company's first-half results that significantly exceeded expectations, and upgraded its rating to outperform.
