Stock sits near its 52-week low

The Hong Kong-listed share was last at HKD 50.05 on October 16, 2026 at 4:08 p.m. HKT, with a 52-week range of HKD 49.86 to HKD 74.70. The market capitalization was HKD 906.3 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio was 5.88. The low of HKD 49.86 leaves the home-market quote 0.38 percent above that 52-week floor.

Valuation meets the next reporting date

The next scheduled earnings date is October 29, 2026, according to Investing.com. The same page lists an average 12-month target of HKD 81.39 from 16 analysts, but the dated Morgan Stanley target is the clearest recent individual reference. For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: the HKD 85.00 target sits well above the HKD 50.05 home-market quote, while the company has just reported 36.1 percent growth in interim net profit.
