On June 17, UBS published a research report, predicting that Chow Tai Fook (01929.HK) will have an average annual compound growth rate of 9% in earnings per share between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2028, and the dividend yield in fiscal 2026 is expected to reach 6%. At the current price level, it is equivalent to a forecast price-earnings ratio of 14 times in the next 12 months, which is lower than the industry median of 15 times. The bank believes that Chow Tai Fook may be undervalued at present and is confident in its operating guidance for the new year. If the gold price continues to rise, there is room for an upward adjustment in the operating profit guidance. Based on the latest operating performance, performance guidance, higher same-store sales growth expectations, less gross profit margin pressure and more operating expense savings, UBS raised Chow Tai Fooks operating profit forecast for fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027 by 20% to 21%, and its earnings per share forecast by 21% to 30%. The target price was raised from HK$12 to HK$16, and the earnings per share forecast for fiscal 2026 will increase by 51% year-on-year, mainly benefiting from the reduction in gold lending losses, as well as brand transformation and product portfolio improvement.

Analysts including Max Layton said: "By the second half of 2026, gold will return to about $2,500-2,700 an ounce."

They said: "We believe that investment demand for gold will weaken in late 2025 and 2026 as Trumps popularity rises and the put option on US economic growth begins to take effect, especially as the US midterm elections become the focus." In addition, "we believe that the Federal Reserve has a lot of room to lower restrictive policies to neutral." In the banks basic forecast (with a probability of 60%), gold prices are expected to consolidate above $3,000 an ounce in the next quarter and then move lower.Sources said the G7 reached a statement on the Middle East issue.Both U.S. and Brent crude oil fell by $0.8 in the short term.
