JOYSON ELEC

Ningbo Joyson Electronic opened lower and fell throughout the morning session, closing at HKD 12.42, down 5.19% from the previous close, with the intraday low matching the closing price. The decline was driven by the company's share buyback price (HKD 12.47) falling below the current stock price, alongside macro flows shifting to safe-haven assets. Bank of America Securities initiated coverage with a 'Buy' rating and a target price of HKD 21.4, but the stock is trading at only 58% of that level, with a YTD decline of 35%, well below the MA20 (HKD 13.13) and MA60 (HKD 15.63), and 42.23% off its 52-week high of HKD 21.5. However, Q1 net profit rose 25% YoY to HKD 456 million, indicating underlying resilience.
