Revenue reached RMB3.7 billion, up 28% YoY; gross profit was RMB1.5 billion, up 90% YoY; and net profit was RMB495 million, up 226% YoY. The broker expects gross margin to continue improving in the coming quarters, driven by ongoing product mix optimization and gradual reflection of higher fiber prices in contract renewals. However, YOFCs 1Q net profit of RMB495 million was below the buy-side expectation of RMB800 million to RMB1 billion, and UBS expects a negative short-term market reaction. Nevertheless, it remains confident in the companys earnings growth over the next few quarters, noting that it will take time for higher fiber prices to be fully reflected.

YOFC Slumps; STANCHART Rises After Results

Short selling today amounted to HKD50.979 billion, accounting for 19.6% of the HKD260.098 billion turnover of securities eligible for short selling (21.042% in the previous day).

STANCHART (02888.HK)  +3.600 (+1.923%)    Short selling $16.01M; Ratio 2.795%   reported 1Q pre-tax profit of USD2.45 billion, up 16.5% and beating expectations. The stock rose 1.9% to HKD190.8. M Stanley said in a research report that STANCHART delivered strong 1Q revenue, driven by wealth management, exceeding market and its own forecasts by 6% and 4%, respectively. The bank made an additional provision of USD190 million related to the Middle East conflict, partly offset by recoveries and provision write-backs. While STANCHART remains cautious on the outlook, risks are seen as manageable. Investors will closely monitor the macroeconomic environment. M Stanley maintained an Overweight rating with a TP of HKD195.
