Summary

Overall

This report from Citi Research covers updates for regions including Asia, North America, and Western Europe, focusing on central bank actions, equity strategies, and company-specific analyses. Key financial markets show potential recovery and growth driven by factors like AI, policy changes, and sector consolidation, though risks and volatility are noted. Notable rating and target price shifts are analyzed for specific companies, with a strong emphasis on US and European large-cap sectors.

Asia

• India Banks: MPC actions, including the June repo-rate cut and 100bps CRR reduction, are expected to bottom NIMs in 2Q 2025 due to front-loaded policy changes. The CRR cut releases liquidity ("Rs2.5tn"), supporting NIMs by 6-8bps; it favors banks with lower NIM profiles and enhances credit flow to NBFCs. Private banks' NIMs likely reached a trough sooner than previously assessed.
• Shenzhen Mindray (300760.SZ): Citi reiterates Mindray as a top pick, highlighting AI-assisted solutions, recurring business growth, and upcoming catalysts like 2Q/3Q25 results. Mindray trades at 21x FY25E P/E, below its five-year mean, and will host an Investor Day on June 12th.
• Wiwynn (6669.TW): May-25 sales beat expectations ("NT$71.1bn"), driven by AI/ASIC demand; 2Q25E sales growth projected at 20%+, stronger than prior forecasts. Secular demand trends are expected to sustain growth in the second half.

North America

• US Equity Strategy & S&P 500: Citi lifts its year-end 2025 S&P 500 target to 6300, based on improving fundamentals and persistent valuation levels. A mid-2026 target of 6500 implies significant upside. Growth remains preferred, with AI regaining momentum.
• Bull/Bear Scenarios: Outlined scenarios for S&P 500 EPS and valuations, with base, bull, and bear cases for 2025 and mid-2026. Notable upside includes emerging markets, though volatility risks are present.

Western Europe

• Germany & Policy: Developing positively, with policy approvals (€46 billion package) and trade relations with the US improving, underpinning market sentiment. Mid-cap preference continues amid valuation discounts to large caps.
• Telecoms Operators: European telecoms sector outperforms due to defensive positioning and consolidation hopes. European Telecommunications discussed potential for in-market M&A.
• Vodafone Group PLC (VOD.L): Annual report summary highlights key metrics, including adj. FCF incentivizing management. Performance driven by ESG progress and operational factors; Vodafone's Board expects a gradual German turnaround.
