Nomura lifts ZTE Corporation (00763) to HK$27
|
Nomura lifted its target price for ZTE Corporation (00763) to HK$27 from HK$25, and reiterated its "neutral" rating. The research house said ZTE reported a solid growth in revenue and bottom-line in FY2017. Excluding one-off gains, the normalised earnings also grew healthily for ZTE, indicating a gradual recovery in fundamentals. Nomura believes a strong data traffic growth momentum due to policy headwinds and competition in the telco segment will help to increase equipment demand during a capex down cycle which should benefit ZTE. On the other hand, Nomura still see uncertainties in 5G deployment in terms of timing, scale and technology. Hence, it lowered its FY2018-19 earnings forecasts slightly by 2-3%, while it believes ZTE will stick to its minimum requirement for the stock incentive plan. |
