description: "Daiwa has lowered the target price for MINTH GROUP to 50 yuan, maintaining a \"Buy\" rating. Although revenue growth in the traditional automotive parts business is slowing down in 2025, the performance of the plastic and metal decoration business is good, and the overall gross profit margin remains stable. Management stated that fluctuations in aluminum and plastic prices have a limited impact on long-term profitability. The traditional automotive parts business generated 2.7 billion yuan in free cash flow last year, with the dividend payout ratio increasing to 30%. Considering that revenue and profit margins are below expectations, the net profit forecast for 2026 to 2027 has been revised down by 12% to 14%"
