HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 May 2025 – Johnson Electric Holdings Limited (“Johnson Electric”), a global leader in electric motors and motion subsystems, today announced its results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2025.

Group sales for the 2024/25 financial year were US$3,648 million, a decrease of 4% compared to the prior year. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 15% to US$263 million or 28.16 US cents per share on a fully diluted basis. Underlying net profit, adjusted to exclude non-cash foreign exchange rate movements and restructuring charges, increased by 9% to US$274 million.

Sales Performance

The Automotive Products Group (“APG”), Johnson Electric’s largest operating division, achieved sales of US$3,072 million. Excluding currency effects, APG’s sales decreased by 3%. Automotive production volumes in several major markets were below prior year levels due to the combination of subdued economic conditions, elevated new vehicle prices, high financing costs, and uneven consumer confidence. Supply-demand dynamics were further impacted by a temporary slowdown in the transition to electrification in some markets as governments rethink policy support, OEMs adjust the propulsion mix of their model line-ups, and consumers react to the comparatively high price of battery-electric vehicles.

APG experienced lower sales in each of the three major geographic end markets, with differences in large part reflecting the variations in our share of content within particular OEM vehicle models and whether or not those models are proving popular with consumers. In Asia, for example, APG sales decreased by 1% on a constant currency basis compared to a 2% increase in the region’s total light vehicle production volume. This was primarily due to the weaker sales performance of non-domestic car brands in China, among which APG has historically maintained an above average market share. In Europe, APG’s sales declined by 4% on a constant currency basis compared to a 6% decline in regional vehicle production. And in the Americas, sales declined by 6% in comparison to a 2% decline in vehicle production volume. In both of these regions, a key factor driving APG’s sales performance was end-market share changes between OEMs, which has become less predictable as the industry wrestles with several transformational forces including electric vehicle adoption rates, the growing success of Chinese OEMs as exporters, and moves by governments to impose protectionist tariffs on imports.

APG’s strategy to address these shifting automotive industry dynamics is two-fold. Firstly, it is to continue to bring to market innovative technologies that help enable electrification, reduce emissions, and enhance passenger safety and comfort. Secondly, APG aims to offer its customers a compelling total cost and value proposition that combines speed, scale and reliability of production with a responsive global operating footprint. This strategy is gaining traction. One indication of the strength of this model is APG’s increasing success in winning new business from the largest Chinese OEM vehicle manufacturers which are expected to contribute a significant and growing share of the division’s sales within the next five years.

The Industry Products Group (“IPG”) – contributing 16% of total Group sales – continued to experience challenging trading conditions. The division’s sales were US$575 million which, excluding the effects of currency movements, represented a decline of 5% compared to the prior year. Global demand for many consumer and industrial products remains sluggish in the post-pandemic era and this has been compounded by an acceleration of the commoditization of numerous hardware goods. In response, management has taken decisive action to reduce overheads and refocus the division around a products group that emphasises standardization and cost leadership. In parallel, IPG is investing in designing differentiated and innovative motion system solutions in a select number of high growth application segments, including robotics, warehouse automation, medical devices, electric bikes, and high-precision manufacturing and measurement equipment. This dual-track approach is positioning IPG for improved competitiveness and long-term growth.

Gross Margins and Operating Profitability

The Group’s gross profit amounted to US$843 million – a decrease of 1% compared to the prior year. As a percentage of sales, however, gross profit increased from 22.3% to 23.1%. The improvement of gross margin was primarily the result of lower raw material costs, direct labour, and production overhead charges that combined to more than offset the effects of reduced sales volumes.

Reported earnings before interest, tax and amortization (“EBITA”) amounted to US$331 million (compared to US$315 million in the prior year). EBITA adjusted to exclude non-cash foreign exchange rate movements and restructuring charges, amounted to US$344 million or 9.4% of sales (compared to 9.0% in the prior year). The Group’s adjusted EBITA result was boosted by US$15 million in net gains from Other Income & Expenses. This was primarily due to a mark-to-market gain on an investment in an autonomous driving technology company, government grants, as well as net changes in the valuation of other financial and monetary assets and liabilities, and other foreign currency hedging contracts.

Net Profit and Financial Condition

Net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 15% to US$263 million or 28.16 US cents per share on a fully diluted basis. Underlying net profit, adjusted to exclude non-cash foreign exchange rate movements and restructuring charges, amounted to US$274 million compared to US$252 million in the prior year.

The Group’s overall financial condition remains robust with a total debt to capital ratio of 12%, an interest coverage ratio of 10 times, and year-end cash reserves of US$791 million.

Dividends

In view of the high level of uncertainty concerning the outlook for global trade at the present time, the Board considers it prudent to recommend maintaining the final dividend of 44 HK cents (5.64 US cents) per share, which together with the interim dividend of 17 HK cents per share, represents a total dividend of 61 HK cents (7.82 US cents) per share.

Chairman’s Comments on the Annual Results and Outlook

Commenting on the annual results for the financial year 2024/25, Dr. Patrick Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive, said, “In the financial year 2024/25, Johnson Electric experienced increasing headwinds in its major end markets that reflected the impact of a reduction in automobile production volumes, intense price competition in several consumer and industrial product applications, and weakening consumer confidence in the face of rising uncertainty about the outlook for the global economy, and cross-border trade in particular. Despite these challenging market conditions, the Group’s financial results demonstrated the resilience of our business model”.

Dr. Patrick Wang further commented: “Although we do not expect a worst-case outcome involving the high and broad-based tariffs remaining in place for the longer-term, we have been building scenarios into our planning and operating model for many years – with the effect that being nimble and adaptable is central to Johnson Electric’s way of doing business. Management is working proactively to mitigate the near-term impact of tariffs through pricing adjustments, as well as evaluating our longer-term options to relocate parts of production to different locations within, or beyond, our existing manufacturing footprint. The practical and economic attractiveness of those options will ultimately depend on what types of trade agreements may emerge from the ongoing trade dispute and negotiations”.

“Although the sudden imposition of import tariffs impacting multiple national borders is placing an additional burden on our people in terms of time and complexity, we are not allowing it to deflect our attention from executing the core elements of our strategy. Those elements include: i) driving sales growth by offering customers compelling total cost solutions to their most pressing motion-related problems; ii) accelerating our speed to market through rapid sampling, increased standardization of products and production lines, and building and maintaining appropriate levels of stock to provide the assurance and flexibility of supply that our customers demand; iii) building and consolidating production around large scale, lower cost regional manufacturing hubs that feature high levels of vertical integration and automation; and iv) leveraging advanced digital technologies, including AI, to reduce cost and improve efficiency and responsiveness”.

Concerning the near-term financial outlook, Dr. Patrick Wang said: “Group sales levels in the first weeks of the 25/26 financial year have been a mid-single digit percentage lower compared to a year ago. However, given the lack of clarity over exactly what tariffs may be in effect for the remainder of the year and how these may impact the varied and often complex profiles of our subsystem manufacturing and logistics supply chain, it is not meaningful to offer a full-year sales projection”.

“It is not simply a question of which of our products could be subject to elevated import tariffs (these presently amount to a mid-single digit percentage of total Group sales based on the US import tariffs in effect, or temporarily suspended). It is also the extent to which the confrontation over international trade undermines the prospects for global economic growth”.

“Nonetheless, I do feel that it is worthwhile observing that Johnson Electric has a sixty-six-year track record of navigating its way through periods of enormous macro-economic stress and volatility. While past performance is, of course, no guarantee of future success, I remain highly confident that this Company is as well positioned as any in our industry to find a profitable and sustainable path going forward”.

KGI: 2026 Global Market Outlook

Published

on

Beyond Balance: The Next Regime

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 January 2026 – Today, KGI has released its 2026 Global Market Outlook, covering markets in the US, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.

(From left) James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory; James Wey, Head of International Wealth Management at KGI; Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI

After a turbulent year of trade disruptions and policy uncertainty under President Trump, investors face new questions. China has unveiled its 15th Five-Year Plan, as policymakers aim to support domestic growth amid global challenges. The market outlook for 2026 is shaped by interest rate decisions, economic resilience, and shifting international dynamics.

Under this backdrop, we propose the “LEAD” strategy for 2026:

  1. Liquidity Shift
  2. Earnings Focused
  3. Adding Credit
  4. Diversified Assets

Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: “Looking ahead to 2026, investors can adopt a LEAD strategy: L ​​stands for Liquidity Shift, benefiting from a weakening US dollar and interest rate cuts, with funds expected to flow to non-US dollar and Asian currencies; E stands for Earnings Focused, focusing on earnings growth to support valuations and allocating to US, European, and Japanese stocks; A stands for Adding Credit, locking in the credit of leading companies and increasing holdings of A-rated investment grade bonds; and D stands for Diversified Assets, responding to the upward trend in both stocks and bonds by including alternative assets to optimize asset allocation.”

Macro & US Markets
The US economy will experience a more pronounced downturn in 4Q25, which will extend into 1H26, and this will have a negative impact on consumption, slowing investment activity. Nevertheless, AI-driven productivity gains should provide some support, with US GDP growth in 2026 forecast at 2.2%. The eurozone will see moderate growth, with Germany benefiting significantly from fiscal expansion and economic improvement. Japan’s economy will strengthen on domestic demand, aided by additional fiscal stimulus. China has demonstrated resilience under trade protectionism in 2025. With inflation risks easing and labor market risks rising, the US Fed cut the interest rates in September 2025, with a total reduction of 75 bps in 2025, followed by an additional 50-75 bps in 2026.

Regarding US stocks, AI-driven productivity gains and cost reductions should sustain solid profitability, with S&P 500 earnings projected to grow by 13.55% year-on-year (YoY) in 2026. However, higher risk premiums may cap valuation upside, leading us to project a year-end target of 7,650 points. Market performance will reflect risk-driven declines in 1Q26, stabilize and recover in 2Q26, and rally significantly around the midterm elections in 4Q26. By sector, among AI-related themes we favor technology, semiconductors, utilities (on higher power demand), machinery for advanced manufacturing, and industrial REITs. Non-AI beneficiaries include aerospace and defense (on higher military spending), pharmaceuticals (on tariff benefits), and capital market segments (supported by active investment banking). As for fixed income, US economic weakness and Fed rate cuts will drive Treasury yields lower, with 10-year yields expected to fall to 3.5-3.7% by 2Q26. We recommend allocating to US Treasuries or high-rated investment-grade corporate bonds in 1H26, then rotating into high-yield bonds in 2H26 as policy rates and economic conditions reach a bottom.

James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: “AI is triggering a new productivity revolution, supporting economic growth and strengthening corporate earnings. While the US economy is expected to slow, a recession remains unlikely, and the short-term impact of tariff policies should gradually fade by the first quarter of 2026. Although the Fed may shift from cutting rates at every meeting to cutting at alternating meetings, the overall environment remains a rate-cutting cycle. In a non-recession backdrop, lower interest rates should continue to support equity market performance.”

Mainland China and Hong Kong Markets
In terms of the macroeconomy, with the conclusion of trade agreements among many countries, risks have subsided. However, due to external drag, China’s GDP growth is expected to slow slightly to 4.6% in 2026. In 2026, investors should focus on four key areas for Hong Kong and mainland China markets: (1) In the consumption sector, domestic demand continued to be the core growth driver, contributing more than half of GDP. As the “trade-in” effect diminishes, the central government is expected to implement the “15th Five-Year Plan” and economic conference plans, launching a new round of subsidies covering culture, entertainment, and sports to continuously boost consumer spending. (2) In the financial market, risk appetite has increased. Given the narrowing spread between bond yields and fixed deposit rates, large amounts of savings are flowing into the capital market seeking returns. The fundamentals of the banking and insurance industries have bottomed out, and the credit structure is accelerating its shift from real estate to supporting the real economy. (3) Regarding the issue of “anti-involution,” the PPI remains weak, and capacity reduction has become a focus. Compared to 2015, this round involves more downstream private enterprises and needs to consider employment, presenting greater challenges. While industry consolidation is expected to be lengthy, the impact is controllable and beneficial for long-term healthy development. (4) Regarding new quality productive forces, this will replace real estate and infrastructure as the main investment focus. Digital infrastructure supports AI and embodied intelligence, and humanoid robots are expected to see commercialization in 2026, “iPhone moment.” Leading companies with core technological autonomy in innovative drugs will enjoy higher valuation premiums.

Overall, we are optimistic on Hang Seng Index. We expect the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts to drive fund inflows to the Hong Kong and mainland stock markets. Based on an upward revision of the forward PE ratio to 13.5x and 8% earnings growth, we set a target of 30,000 points for the Hang Seng Index by the end of 2026, representing a potential upside of approximately 14%. As confidence recovers, the investment style is expected to shift from defensive to growth stocks. Recommended 12 stocks: XPeng Motors (9868), UBTECH (9880), Tencent Holdings (700), Alibaba (9988), China Hongqiao (1378), AIA Group (1299), Ping An Insurance (2318), China Merchants Bank (3968), Akeso Biopharma (9926), Pop Mart (9992), Tencent Music (1698), and Sino Land (83).

Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: “2026 marks a crucial turning point for the Chinese economy. While the market anticipates GDP growth to slow to 4.6%, “new quality productive forces,” resembling humanoid robots, is taking over as a new growth engine. The most critical signal in the market is the “awakening” of idle cash—massive savings are flowing from low-interest fixed deposits to the capital market seeking returns. With risk appetite returning and policy support intensifying, now is the time to shift investment strategies from “defensive” to “growth.” Driven by both valuation repair and earnings growth, we are optimistic that the Hang Seng Index will reach 30,000 points, and the allocation value of Hong Kong and mainland China stocks has reappeared.”

Taiwan Market
Compared to the dot-com era bull run, which lasted almost five years, the current AI frenzy has been around for about three years, suggesting that the uptrend is still in its middle phase and could extend through 2026.

AI plays are trading at high PEs, such valuations are backed by strong fundamentals. In fact, the PEG ratio of Taiwan’s AI supply chain has yet to surpass 1x. We estimate that aggregate earnings of AI plays will grow by 21% YoY in 2026, following impressive upticks of 35% in 2024 and 43% in 2025. AI stocks now account for more than 60% of TAIEX earnings, and with the ongoing AI arms race, overall TAIEX earnings growth is projected to accelerate from 14% in 2025F to 20% in 2026.

Although the AI frenzy should keep the bull market intact, volatility will rise in tandem due to: (1) substantial cumulative gains, and the fact that valuations are approaching historic highs; (2) policy and political uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections; and (3) potential changes in the US Fed’s rate-cut pace. We expect the TAIEX to repeat a “smile-curve” pattern, featuring continued strength in 1Q26, followed by healthy corrections in 2Q-3Q26 before closing the year with a renewed upswing.

We think investors need to pay attention to two major themes. The first is a broad-based product spec upgrade trend across the AI supply chain, which will drive the industry into a new growth phase, with beneficiaries including foundries, GPU and ASIC designers, advanced packaging (such as CoWoS), and ODMs, as well as testing interfaces, memory, thermal solutions, CCL, ABF substrates, PCBs, switches, and power component suppliers amid strong AI computing demand and ongoing GPU platform upgrades. The second is diversification and defensive asset allocation. Innovations in consumer electronics, such as foldable iPhones and smart wearables, will provide growth opportunities, while companies with resilient domestic demand and stable high dividend yields offer a balanced strategy combining growth and income. Overall, investors should strike a balance between growth and resilience against volatility in their portfolios, in the face of market fluctuations.

James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: “The solid earnings growth driven by AI and still reasonable valuations form a strong foundation for the ongoing bull market in Taiwanese equities. With AI adoption accelerating across enterprises and consumers, demand for computing power is rising rapidly. Yet supply remains constrained by chip and power bottlenecks, meaning hardware suppliers are likely to face continued shortages through 2026. Taiwan’s AI supply chain is set to remain a key beneficiary, particularly those tied to next-generation specification upgrades.”

Singapore Market
In 9M25, the overall performance of Singapore’s economy was better than expected as the global trade tensions eased after the US pivoted on its reciprocal tariffs and reached deals with its major trading partners. The manufacturing, wholesale trade and finance & insurance sectors remained the growth pillars of the Singapore economy, and each sector delivered decent growth. In particular, manufacturing’s growth has been robust, driven by the electronics, transport engineering and biomedical manufacturing clusters. The full year outlook is upbeat, as the growth momentum shall continue till the end of the year.

Looking ahead, the global economic outlook for 2026 suggests slower GDP growth for most of Singapore’s key trading partners, including China and the Eurozone, largely due to the impact of US tariffs, which will temper demand for Southeast Asian exports, though US growth is expected to remain resilient from AI investment. Consequently, Singapore’s outward-oriented sectors, particularly manufacturing and trade-related services, are projected to expand at a slower pace than in 2025, although the electronics and related sectors will benefit from AI demand, while some precision engineering and biomedical output may moderate domestically, the construction sector is set to grow, but consumer-facing sectors are likely to remain subdued. However, the relatively low interest rates and continuous government support shall buffer the impact of the slowdown, and the capital market will still benefit from the upward re-rating catalysts.

Chen Guangzhi, Head of Research at KGI Singapore, says: “Thanks to trade de-escalation and the AI wave, Singapore experienced significant economic expansion in 2025. Proactive government initiatives turbo-charged the equity bull run, and this strong momentum is expected to deliver an optimistic economic outlook for 2026.”
