MiniMax Group, Inc (0100) Receives a Buy from Citi

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has launched its fourth-generation model, DeepSeek V4, with significant price cuts, offering a 75% discount on the new DeepSeek-V4-Pro model until May 5. The price reductions aim to boost adoption amid intensifying competition in the AI sector. DeepSeek's strategy includes a two-tier model to attract a broader user base. However, the aggressive pricing has raised concerns about a potential price war, negatively impacting shares of competitors Zhipu AI and MiniMax Group. The V4 model is also expected to utilize Huawei's chip technology, highlighting its strategic significance in the current market.

0413 | Dolphin Focus — 🐬 Macro/Industry. 1) Trump announced that, after US-Iran talks in Pakistan collapsed, the US military will at 10:00 ET on Apr 13 (10pm Beijing time tonight) impose a full blockade of Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz.It will intercept all vessels to and from Iran and cut off its oil exports. Iran's military issued a hardline response, stating any US approach will be treated as a provocation and met with firm retaliation.This would sharply elevate geopolitical risk and disrupt shipping, chemicals and related supply chains. It would also reinforce expectations that the Fed keeps rates higher for longer, putting near-term pressure on HK stocks and growth names.
