YUE YUEN IND (00551.HK) posted a positive profit alert expecting that 1Q24 net profit will surge by 95-100% YoY from a low base, after taking into account the one-off disposal gain, Citi Research issued a research report saying. Citi Research believed that this beats its expectations.

Due to better-than-expected gross profit margin in the manufacturing business, Citi Research raised its FY2024 to FY2026 net profit forecasts for YUE YUEN IND by 20-22%, and increased its valuation basis, with a target PE ratio of 9x for FY2024 from the prior multiple of 8x.

Citi Research correspondingly lifted its target price from $12.5 to $16.5, with rating reiterated at Buy.

In addition, assuming that the dividend payout lowers to 60% in 2024, and further reduces to 56% in 2026, the dividend yield is expected to reach 9% this year on current valuation, which is very attractive backed by its 2024 to 2026 EPS CAGR of 20%.
