NRA has a price target of $0.75. The brokerage noted that CHT's earnings visibility improved considerably after its JV Plymouth Yongle received certification that will enable the firm to manufacture and sell its products to two automobile components parts manufacturers, Delphi Corp and Lears.
"Primary growth driver and price catalyst will be the volume expansion from Plymouth JV. With the turnaround realized in the Plymouth plant, we are reasonably positive that the volume growth will contribute to the top line considerably," NRA said in a note.
"Uplifted by rising orders from Delphi Corp, we believe that the current share price has yet to capture the earnings upside," it added.
NRA expects CHT earnings to grow to RMB132.1m this year from RMB113.6m last year, and further to RMB148.5m in 2007.
