Stock market today: S&P 500 hits fresh record close on stronger economic growth
Investing.com - UBS initiated coverage on Horizon Robotics Inc (HK:9660) with a Buy rating and a price target of HK$10.50 on Wednesday.
The Hong Kong-listed autonomous driving semiconductor company is positioned to benefit from three structural tailwinds that could drive approximately 50% revenue compound annual growth rate over the next five years, according to UBS.
These tailwinds include faster penetration of higher-level autonomous driving technology, China’s automotive and AI semiconductor localization efforts, and a potential surge in edge AI demand that could fuel growth in the company’s AIoT and robot system-on-chip business.
UBS expects Horizon Robotics’ EBIT margin to turn positive in 2027 and reach over 20% by 2029, driven by economies of scale and a normalized operating expense ratio.
The stock has retreated 7% since the end of February 2025, underperforming both the Hang Seng Tech and SOX indexes, while its 2026 estimated price-to-sales ratio of 16x is modestly higher than major peers but comes with significantly higher projected revenue growth for 2025-2027.
