Shares of Hua Hong Semiconductor (HKG:1347), a leading semiconductor company in Hong Kong, surged 5.46% in intraday trading on Monday.
The stock's movement appears counterintuitive, as Hua Hong Semi reported disappointing full-year 2024 earnings results earlier in the day. The company's revenue declined 12% year-over-year, while net income plunged 79% due to lower profit margins. Earnings per share (EPS) also missed analysts' expectations by a significant 48%.
Despite these lackluster results, investors seem to have reacted positively to the stock, potentially driven by optimism about the company's future prospects. Although Hua Hong Semi's earnings fell short this year, analysts forecast revenue growth of 14% per annum on average over the next three years, outpacing the industry's projected growth rate of 13% in Hong Kong.
