Apple has raised trade-in values for iPhones in China to combat declining sales amid fierce competition from local brands like Huawei and Xiaomi. The iPhone 15 Pro Max's trade-in value increased to 5,700 yuan ($791), while the iPhone 15 Pro's rose to 4,750 yuan ($659.33). Despite these adjustments, Apple faces challenges, including an 8% drop in shipments and a decrease in market share, prompting considerations to shift assembly to India and incorporate AI features through a partnership with Alibaba.
Huawei has launched its first laptop featuring HarmonyOS, aiming to reduce reliance on Windows and MacOS amid ongoing US-China trade tensions. Meanwhile, Foxconn's CEO warns of millions of low-end manufacturing job losses due to automation, and Vietnam has banned the Telegram app over criminal activity concerns.
Nvidia has chosen Taipei for its overseas headquarters, signaling a significant investment in Taiwan. The Taiwanese government aims to be more than just a host, aspiring to become Nvidia's strongest ally in this venture. However, questions remain about its ability to fulfill this promise.
Barclays has initiated coverage of Foxconn with an "Overweight" rating, highlighting its strong position in AI server production and potential for growth beyond its Apple business. The firm projects a 15.5% revenue growth in 2025, driven by AI servers, which now represent 42% of its server revenue. With a competitive edge in high-end assembly and a 4% dividend yield, Foxconn is seen as undervalued, with price targets ranging from $7 to $17 based on market conditions.
UBS has rated Infineon Technologies AG as 'Buy' with a target price of 41 euros. As a leading semiconductor manufacturer, Infineon's diverse product range serves various sectors, with 56.3% of sales from the automotive industry and significant contributions from power and sensor systems, industrial power control, and networked secure systems. Geographically, the company generates 34.3% of its sales from China and Hong Kong, with notable markets in Europe, Japan, and the USA.
Taiwan is set to outperform other Asian countries economically this year, driven by strong demand for high-tech products linked to artificial intelligence, according to HSBC. The nation's robust labor market and rising real wage growth are enhancing private consumption, despite potential risks from global trade protectionism and uncertainties surrounding US tariffs.
VPBankS has successfully raised its largest-ever international capital, reflecting strong confidence from global investors in its sustainable business strategy. Coordinated by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the loan will enhance VPBankS's financial capacity and competitiveness, while fostering long-term cooperation with international financial institutions. This achievement solidifies VPBankS's position in the Vietnamese stock market amidst volatile global conditions.
BNP Paribas is expanding its sales and research teams to enhance its equity platform, particularly in European markets. Despite global uncertainties, clients remain optimistic about China, driven by favorable valuations and innovation in the tech sector. The recent Seattle IPO in Hong Kong has generated robust demand, indicating a strong pipeline for future issuers in the region.
German second-line stocks lead with a 20.62% increase, followed by commodity stocks at 10.11% and automotive sectors at 6.96%. In banking, Goldman Sachs and UBS show strong performance, with year-to-date gains of 79.8% for Societe Generale, while Sberbank faces a significant decline of 67.53%. The average performance of BSN-Group Banks stands at 23.19%.
Cisco Systems' executive vice president now owns 191,184 shares valued at approximately $11.6 million after a recent sale, which decreased their position by 1.07%. Over the past 90 days, insiders sold 14,635 shares, while institutional investors hold 73.33% of the stock. Analysts have raised Cisco's price target to $73.00, suggesting a potential upside of 14.74%. The company reported earnings of $0.96 per share, exceeding estimates, and announced a $15 billion share repurchase plan, indicating management's belief in the stock's undervaluation.
