JPM released a research report noting that shares of LAOPU GOLD (06181.HK) have fallen 22% cumulatively since April, mainly due to investor concerns over retail sales trends amid gold price volatility and potential share placement. The bank maintains a positive view on LAOPU GOLD, believing that demand remained resilient during the recent festive period, the likelihood of a share placement in the near term is low, and distribution channels continue to upgrade. With an attractive risk-reward profile, the current valuation corresponds to forecast 2026 and 2027 price-to-earnings ratios of only 10.7x and 8.7x, respectively, and a valuation re-rating is expected.

JPM raised its earnings forecasts for this year and next year by 5% to 8%, maintained an Overweight rating on LAOPU GOLD, and listed it as a top pick in the China consumer sector. The TP is kept at HKD1,296, equivalent to 19x forecast price-to-earnings ratio for next year. (ec/da)
