Looking into 2026, we are positive on BOEVx's earnings recovery, backed by overseas share gains, Vietnam capacity ramp, margin improvement from the Chengdu plant and system business. We revise down FY25-27E EPS by 5-7% to reflect near-term domestic headwinds and pricing pressure, and lower our TP to HK$8.4 based on the same 14x FY26E P/E. Maintain BUY. ■ 2H25/FY25E preview: earnings dragged by domestic demand, ASP headwinds and depreciation pressure. We estimate FY25E revenue to grow \(8\%\) to HK\\(14,533mn and net profit to decline \(3 \%\) YoY to HK\\)385mn, \(9.7\%\) below Bloomberg consensus estimates. For 2H25E, we expect revenue/net profit of HK\\)7,863mn/205mn (+8%/-10% YoY), mainly due to domestic demand weakness, slower yield improvement in new Vietnam/Chengdu plants, and profitability in system segment. We estimate 2H25E NPM to remain flattish at \(2.5\%\) compared to \(2.7\%\) in 1H25. ■ 2026 outlook: overseas sales growth and Vietnam/Chengdu capacity ramp-up. For 2026, we are constructive on earnings recovery: 1) overseas sales: continued share gains with $20\%+$ YoY sales growth, backed by Vietnam capacity ramp-up; 2) Chengdu plant: margin improvement given higher UTR and better yield; 3) system business: order wins of high-margin LTPS/OLED projects and improving operating efficiency. We estimate revenue/net profit to grow $10\% / 25\%$ YoY in FY26E. ■ Valuation/Key risks. We lower FY25-27E EPS estimates by \(5 - 7\%\) to factor in 2H25 earnings pressure, higher depreciation costs and slower system business margin improvement. We trim our TP to HK\\(8.4 based on the same 14.0x FY26E P/E. We remain positive on BOEVx's industry leadership in auto display market, share gains with overseas OEMs, and strong support from its parent company BOE for R&D technology and order/client wins. Trading at 7.8x/6.3x FY26/27E P/E, the stock offers attractive risk/reward. Risks include domestic demand weakness and continued ASP/margin pressure.
