On September 16, LAOPU GOLD rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at HK$367.0/share, with turnover of approximately HK$97.07 million. The stock rebounded after consecutive sessions of pullback.

On the news front, multiple cities have recently launched consumption voucher programs targeting the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday periods, fueling optimism for gold jewelry retail demand. JPMorgan previously noted that the company's Q2 sales slowdown was more cyclical than structural, estimating that offline same-store sales growth bottomed in Q2 with the YoY decline narrowing to 15-20% in H2. The bank maintained an Overweight rating with a target price of HK$891, projecting Q3 and Q4 earnings of approximately RMB 0.8 billion and RMB 1.2 billion respectively, citing the upcoming holidays as a key catalyst. However, Morgan Stanley expects H2 revenue to decline 11% YoY and cut full-year net profit forecasts by 2-3%, maintaining a target price of HK$505. Broker divergence on the H2 outlook remains significant, with subsequent performance hinging on gold price trends and holiday consumption data.
