LENOVO GROUP's management expected mid-to-high single-digit growth in PC deliveries for the current fiscal year, implying a 14% QoQ increase in revenue for the IDG segment in 2FQ26, the broker noted.

HSBC Global Research anticipated that the commercial PC replacement cycle will support an increase in the department's gross margin this year, with limited tariff impact on its PC business as production lines for US-bound products have been relocated to Vietnam.

The broker raised its FY2026 EPS forecast for LENOVO GROUP by 13%, but maintained its forecasts for FY2027. The broker added its target price from $12.1 to $12.9, with rating kept at Buy.
