Pakistan KSE-100 index rose 0.5% to 111,504.90.Yamato: Raising the target price of IWC to HK$ 20 has a more positive view on next year's revenue growth. Yamato published a report that under the strong demand from Malaysia, the bank has a more positive view on IWC's revenue growth next year. In addition, the bank believes that the external financing of operating GDSI, a data center outside the mainland, will release shareholder value. However, as GDSI will be separated from IWC's consolidated statements in the fourth quarter of this year, the bank believes that IWC's short-term re-evaluation will still mainly depend on its mainland business performance, so it still maintains a wait-and-see attitude. The bank maintained its "hold" rating on IWC, and its target price was raised from HK$ 8.6 to HK$ 20. Considering the increase in capital expenditure of IWC from 2025 to 2026, the bank raised its revenue forecast for this year and next by 5% to 24%, mainly due to the strong demand in the international market driven by short video platforms. In addition, in view of the fact that the company raised its capital expenditure guideline from 6.5 billion yuan to 11 billion yuan this year, the bank raised its capital expenditure forecast from 6.7 billion yuan to 11 billion yuan in 2024 and from 3.5 billion yuan to 10.5 billion yuan in 2025. In addition, the bank will raise the adjusted EBITDA forecast of IWC this year and next by 4% to 13% to consider the EBITDA contribution of its overseas business; It is estimated that the total revenue will increase by 15% this year (10% compared with the previous forecast) and 33% next year (15% compared with the previous forecast). The adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by 11% and 25% this year and next (8% and 15% compared with the previous forecast).Another ruling party member supported the impeachment of Yin Xiyue.

At present, six members of parliament of the ruling party have publicly indicated that they will support the impeachment case of President Yin Xiyue. Earlier, South Korea's ruling National Power Party MP Kim Jae-sub announced on the 11th that he would vote in favor of the next presidential impeachment case, bringing the number of ruling party MPs in favor of impeaching President Yin Xiyue to five. South Korea's pan-opposition party has 192 seats in the National Assembly. If the impeachment motion is to be passed in the National Assembly, it needs to obtain at least two-thirds majority of the total 300 seats in the National Assembly, that is, 200 votes in favor. Therefore, the opposition party needs to win at least 8 ruling party members to vote in favor. (CCTV)
