Stock News
Oct 22

Recently, UBS, a well-known investment bank, released its insights regarding Lenovo Group (00992), anticipating that the company's upcoming performance report will meet expectations for profitability with adjusted profits showing a year-on-year increase. Sales are expected to remain robust, with ISG projected to grow around 20% and SSG forecasted to achieve a high double-digit growth. Lenovo's PC business is expected to see growth rates surpassing market levels, achieving a year-on-year increase in the mid to low double digits, and the operating profit margin is expected to stabilize between 7% and 7.5%. Therefore, UBS maintains its forecast for a net profit of USD 440 million (previously estimated at USD 435 million). Due to the impact of warrants valued at market rates and nominal convertible interest, the adjusted net profit is expected to exceed the prior forecast by USD 150 million to USD 200 million. In its report, UBS noted that in the infrastructure business sector, the company continues to focus on adjusting its enterprise product mix for profitability; however, higher storage costs will delay significant positive contributions. Additionally, with actions taken in the infrastructure sector, the AI business is projected to grow from contributing a low single-digit percentage of sales. Consequently, UBS has increased the target price for Lenovo Group to HKD 12.
