At the analyst briefing, management adopted a cautious view on the gross margin outlook for FY2027, mainly due to rising raw material costs driven by higher oil prices.

The broker noted that raw material costs have increased since March amid a surge in oil prices, and it expects gross margin to face greater pressure in 1H27 (for the year ending September). Management disclosed that in the raw material cost structure, leather accounts for about 20% of cost of sales, metals 20% to 25%, wood 7% to 8%, fabric 5% to 6%, paper 8% to 10%, and the remaining roughly 10% chemicals.

Citi lowered its earnings forecasts for FY2027 and FY2028 by 21% to 27%, and cut the TP from HKD6.5 to HKD5.6, implying about 12 times forecast P/E for FY2027. The Buy rating was maintained. The broker believes the earnings miss may weigh on the share price in the near term, but considers the current valuation attractive, equivalent to about 9 times forecast P/E, dividend yield of around 6%, and price-to-book ratio of about 1 time.
