On September 8, BYD ELECTRONIC fell 3.05% in regular trading to HK$26.08, with turnover of HK$102 million, giving back a portion of the prior session's gains after the stock had surged nearly 7% on September 7.
The pullback reflects continued investor digestion of the company's weak interim results and broader softness across the electronic manufacturing sector. AAC Tech declined 4.23%, FIH fell 1.25%, and Karrie International dropped 2.55% in the same session. BYD ELECTRONIC's H1 results, disclosed on August 28, showed attributable net profit of RMB 4.26 billion, down 75.35% year-over-year, while gross margin contracted from 6.88% to 4.91% and operating cash flow plunged from RMB 10 billion to RMB 844 million. The earnings deterioration was primarily driven by a cyclical downturn in the smart terminal components business and foreign exchange losses.
Institutional views remain divided. Jefferies recently cut its target price to HK$25, below the current share price, maintaining a Hold rating. Morgan Stanley lowered its earnings forecast by 68% and reduced its target to HK$33 but kept an Overweight rating, citing potential improvement in H2 as key client peak season and liquid cooling capacity ramp-up materialize. DBS raised its target to HK$40 with a Buy rating, highlighting the company's strategic pivot toward higher-value liquid cooling, power, and automotive electronics businesses.
