It also expects an 81% year-on-year profit growth in financial year 2026, primarily driven by the earnings recovery at the &#8220;Happiness&#8221; segment and lowered finance costs from the Group&#8217;s proactive deleveraging efforts. <\/p>\n<p> Citi also highlights that Fosun is accelerating its &#8220;strategic advancements and exits&#8221; strategy, targeting to divest over RMB80 billion in heavy assets and non-core assets. By end of June 2025, Fosun completed the sale of all its 99.743% stake in the German private bank HAL, while retaining the asset servicing business HAFS. Citi believes that the capital recycling from asset divestments will enhance shareholders&#8217; returns and narrow the net asset value discount. <\/p>\n<p> The report points out that Fosun&#8217;s current share price trades at a 71% discount to its net asset value. Despite its stock performance outperforming the Hang Seng Index over the past 30 days (+14% vs. +7%), its valuation still has significant room for recovery. Citi is optimistic about Fosun International&#8217;s future earnings improvement and the re-rating potential brought by its deleveraging strategy, thus assigning a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating to Fosun International. <\/p>\n<p>Hashtag: #Fosun #\u5fa9\u661f\u570b\u969b<\/p>\n<p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/track.media-outreach.com\/index.php\/WebView\/397533\/118699\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- wp:html --><\/p>\n<p>HONG KONG SAR &#8211;  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/\">Media OutReach Newswire<\/a> &#8211; 25 July 2025 &#8211; Citi issued its latest report on 23 July, announcing the renewing coverage on Fosun International (00656.HK) with a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and a target price of HKD5.86. <\/p>\n<p> Citi has made material changes to its financial estimates on Fosun International, expecting core profit for financial year 2025 to grow by 197% year on year to RMB2.2 billion (excluding the one-off non-cash loss of RMB5.1 billion from Cainiao in financial year 2024).
