0434 GMT - The impact from tariffs on Lenovo's PC business could diminish in 2H, DBS analyst Jim Au says in a research note. Lenovo's China+1 strategy for PC manufacturing should help it mitigate future hits from U.S. tariffs, the analyst says. While macroeconomic headwinds may continue to dampen consumer sentiment toward PCs, the AI-driven replacement cycle could moderate overall impacts, he notes. DBS expects a surge in Lenovo's AI PC shipments by over 90% in fiscal 2026. Meanwhile, a recovery in its hardware segment's operating margin should begin in the September quarter as Lenovo ramps up its production in Vietnam. DBS maintains a buy call on Lenovo as its sustainable market share gains positions the company well within the AI adoption megatrend, he adds. DBS's target price for Lenovo is currently under review. Shares are last flat at HK$9.57. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
