SCMP Reporter

About a year ago SHK Financial Group reiterated its 'buy' recommendation on Gome Electrical Appliances and set a 12-month share price target with an 18.9 per cent upside.

The broker increased Gome's sales forecast for 2005 to $12.2 billion. It    set a new target price of $7.25 from $5.90. The counter was trading at $6.35 a year ago.

In August Gome announced a 4.48 per cent rise in net profit to $224.21 million for the six months to June despite turnover jumping 32 per cent to $7.81 billion.  The counter closed on Friday at $4.425.
