Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for Great Wall Motors with a target price of HKD 22.5 [1] Core Insights - Great Wall Motors reported a revenue of RMB 222.79 billion for the previous year, representing a year-on-year growth of 10.2%. However, net profit decreased by 21.7% to RMB 9.912 billion, primarily due to the costs associated with direct sales channel development and the preemptive investment in new products and branding [1] - In Q4 of the previous year, the company achieved a record revenue of RMB 69.21 billion, but net profit fell to RMB 1.277 billion, a quarter-on-quarter decline of 44%. This decline was mainly attributed to a one-time provision for year-end bonuses (RMB 4.6 billion) along with increased expenditures on direct sales and advertising, as well as the ramp-up costs of new stores [1] - Looking ahead to 2026, the report suggests that the profitability of Great Wall Motors will depend on efficiency improvements, with overseas challenges expected to reach 600,000 units, which, along with enhanced direct sales efficiency, could drive profit recovery [1]
