Daiwa slightly lowered Xiaomi's (01810.HK) target price to HK$32, maintaining its 'Buy' rating.
Daiwa published a research report indicating that it expects Xiaomi-W (01810.HK) to report weaker-than-expected second-quarter results, due to the normalization of subsidy policies, a high base effect, and a slowing macroeconomic environment.
