Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Maintains a buy rating for U-Presid China, and raises the target price to HKD 8.3.

Bank of America Securities released a research report that maintains its 'buy' rating on U-Presid China (00220). Due to the expected reduction in tax rates, the earnings per share forecast for 2024/25 has been raised by 4%. The company's 6.9% dividend yield is attractive, and it is the highest among consumer goods stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The target price has been raised from HKD 8 to HKD 8.3 and it is expected to support its stock price performance in a weak market. U-Presid China's sales and after-tax profits in the first half of the year increased by 6% and 10.2% year-on-year, respectively, in line with expectations. Due to factors such as weak macroeconomic conditions, intensified market competition, and rainy weather in China in the second quarter, sales in the second quarter were dragged down.
