0757 GMT - Weichai Power is jockeying to be a power-generation leader for artificial-intelligence data centers, Daiwa analyst Kelvin Lau says in a research note. Weichai supplies high-density, reliable power solutions including diesel and natural gas generator sets for AI data centers. Weichai's Baudouin unit is collaborating with Generac, a U.S.-based diesel generator set maker, to sell diesel backup generators in the U.S. Daiwa says Generac's capacity ramp-up plan could benefit Weichai with over 1 billion yuan of potential earnings upside by 2026. Weichai's net profit exposure to the AI data-center business could reach 20% by 2027, Lau notes. Daiwa raises Weichai's target price to HK$40.00 from HK$24.00. Shares are last at HK$32.44.
