[ET Net News Agency, 8 November 2024] HSBC Global Research lowered the target price for
BAIC Motor (01958) to HKD2.25 from HKD2.32 and maintained the "hold" rating.
The research house said it lowers net profit estimates by 5% in 2024 and 18% in 2025,
mainly due to lower gross margin outlook on the back of lower economies of scale as the
major earnings driver, Beijing Benz's volume contracted. (rc)
