Tsz Wang, an analyst from DBS, maintained the Buy rating on Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Co (YZOFF – Research Report). The associated price target is HK$20.20.
Tsz Wang has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Co’s strong market position and growth potential. The company is a leading optical fibre and cable manufacturer in China, with a significant market share and a vertically integrated business model that supports higher profit margins compared to its competitors. This strategic advantage positions the company well to capitalize on the recovering demand for optical fibre products.
Furthermore, the increasing demand from AI and data center technologies is expected to drive revenue growth, with AI data center-related products anticipated to contribute significantly to the company’s earnings. The global fibre demand is projected to rebound, and YOFC’s diversification strategy, including ventures into submarine cables and industrial lasers, presents new revenue opportunities. These factors, combined with a favorable valuation pegged to a higher-than-average PE ratio, underpin Tsz Wang’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating for the stock.
