UBS Upgrades China Stocks Amid 'Valuation Collapse': What Investors Need to Know
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
UBS Group AG upgraded its recommendation on a key Chinese stock index to Overweight, citing a 'valuation collapse' and resilient earnings among the largest stocks. This upgrade has led to positive movements in Chinese equity tracking ETFs and stocks of Chinese companies. UBS also downgraded Taiwan and South Korea markets to Neutral due to high premiums in the tech sector. The optimism in Chinese stocks is supported by state interventions, positive surprises in dividends and buybacks, and a belief that the Chinese stock market has bottomed, presenting a rare investment opportunity.
