Goldman Sachs kept its Neutral rating on ASMPT (00522) and its target price at HK$177, after visiting the company's booth at SEMICON Taiwan on September 3 and reviewing its latest advanced packaging developments. The bank said ASMPT showcased advanced packaging solutions for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, silicon photonics and co-packaged optics applications, including thermocompression bonding, hybrid bonding and its MEGA platform for high-precision multi-chip assembly. Goldman said it views ASMPT's advanced packaging business positively, citing the shift toward smaller pitches and continued expansion in GPU, ASIC, high-bandwidth memory and HPC markets, according to ETNet.

CICC kept C&D International Group (01908) at Outperform and left its target price unchanged at HK$22.3, saying the company’s first-half 2026 results were in line with expectations. ETNet reported that revenue fell 48% year on year to RMB17.8 billion, but gross margin rose 1.4 percentage points to 14.3%, extending the improvement trend seen since 2025. Core net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company declined 13.5% to RMB790 million, while the core net margin increased 1.8 percentage points to 4.4%.

Interest-bearing debt fell 10% year on year to RMB82.8 billion, with 46% of that from shareholder loans, while cash rose 10% to RMB61.8 billion. Its financing cost dropped 20 basis points from the start of the year to 3%, a record low.

Goldman Sachs said China Merchants Bank's second-quarter results were solid, with pre-provision operating profit and net profit both beating its estimates, driven by stronger-than-expected fee income and investment gains. The bank said weak retail loan demand was offset by corporate lending, which supported overall credit growth and kept core earnings resilient. Goldman also said investors will continue to focus on retail asset quality and provision coverage, while noting that China Merchants Bank's 14.1% CET1 ratio, ongoing capital accumulation and steady balance-sheet growth should support shareholder returns over time, according to ETNet. Goldman raised its 2026-2028 operating profit forecasts for China Merchants Bank by an average of 2.6% and kept its buy rating on the lender's A shares and H shares. It lifted the H-share target price to HK$59.28 from HK$52.49 and the A-share target price to RMB55.24 from RMB53.81.

Binance Futures will end the Last Price Protected (LPP) period on the USDⓈ-Margined TACUSDT Perpetual Contract, with the Mark Price shifting gradually from the LPP mechanism to the standard Mark Price calculation starting 2026-09-07 06:00 (UTC), according to a Binance announcement. The transition may take up to three hours depending on price volatility and the availability of a stable index price, and uses a mark price smoothing process to limit sudden moves. Trading is not affected during the transition, and open orders and positions will not be cancelled. Once the LPP period ends, the Mark Price will be calculated as the median of Price 1, Price 2 and the Contract Price, following the standard USDⓈ-Margined Futures formulas. The funding rate will then revert to standard perpetual contract rules, with the funding rate cap widening from +0.005%/-0.005% to +2.00%/-2.00% at 2026-09-07 06:00 (UTC): the cap stays at +0.005%/-0.005% as of 04:00 UTC and moves to +2.000%/-2.000% from 08:00 UTC onward. The funding interval will change from every four hours to every one hour once a funding settlement reaches the +2.00%/-2.00% cap. Binance said it may adjust the contract's specifications — including funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, and initial and maintenance margin requirements — from time to time based on market risk conditions, and that the English version prevails over any translations.
