Company Recommendations - Gawei Electronics (1415) is recommended for purchase with a target price of 40.00 HKD, indicating a potential upside of 22.3% from the current price of 34.72 HKD. Key catalysts include entering the rear camera module business in North America starting in 2H24 and the pre-sale of a new smartphone by a major North American client, which could drive short-term stock price increases. The current valuation corresponds to a FY26E P/E of 15.6x, aligning with the 5-year average, suggesting potential for revaluation as the company optimizes its product structure and continues to expand in AR+VR, LiDAR, and robotics sectors [2][10][8]. - China Aircraft Leasing (1848) is also recommended for purchase with a target price of 5.30 HKD, representing a potential upside of 13.4% from the current price of 4.77 HKD. The company benefits from a rebound in demand for aircraft leasing as global airlines expand their fleets, while aircraft manufacturers struggle to meet this demand. The anticipated interest rate cuts in the U.S. could further enhance the company's credit rating and reduce borrowing costs. The current price reflects a 0.84x price-to-book ratio, significantly below the pre-pandemic level of 1.5x, and offers a 6.5% expected dividend yield for 2025, with potential for dividend increases as the balance sheet improves [2][11][13].
