GAC stock gets Citi target raised to HKD 2.70
Published on 10/08/2026 at 00:43 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSGAC stock (ISIN CNE100000Q35) was last at HKD 2.33 on October 7, 2026, with a 52-week range of HKD 2.02 to HKD 4.38. The latest analyst action came on September 30, 2026, when Citi raised its target for GAC's H shares from HKD 2.30 to HKD 2.70 while maintaining a Neutral rating, according to AASTOCKS.
Citi lifts target after FAW deal
The report linked the target revision to GAC's planned acquisition of FAW Group's 50 percent stake in FAW Toyota. GAC plans to issue new A-shares at RMB 5.75 per share and conduct a non-public offering to raise supporting funds, according to AASTOCKS.
Citi's revised H-share target is HKD 0.40 above its former target, a 17.4 percent increase. The bank kept its Neutral view on both the H and A shares, making the transaction's operating benefits the central test for the higher valuation.
Quarterly loss remains the counterweight
GAC's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue reached CNY 26.27 billion, compared with CNY 20.23 billion in the previous quarter, while net income shifted from a CNY 656.31 million loss to a CNY 3.81 billion loss, according to Investing.com.
The quarterly revenue increase therefore came alongside a materially wider loss. That contrast leaves the FAW Toyota transaction dependent on measurable improvements in asset quality, purchasing coordination and operating performance rather than on the deal announcement alone.
Consensus target stands at HKD 2.68
The published consensus is Neutral among 13 analysts, with an average 12-month target of HKD 2.68, a high estimate of HKD 5.00526747 and a low estimate of HKD 1.50649655, according to Investing.com. The average target is HKD 0.35 above the October 7 price, while the wide range shows how sharply analyst views differ.
Investing.com lists October 31, 2026, as GAC's next earnings date. That report will provide the next scheduled checkpoint for the transaction's financial implications.
