Swire Pacific has been upgraded to a buy rating with a new price target suggesting a 15% upside. This positive outlook is driven by successful strategic moves such as selling stakes in Cathay Pacific and zero-coupon bond transactions, which have significantly reduced net debt and unlocked value. The company reported an 8% revenue increase and a 43% rise in underlying profit in the first half of 2026, supported by strong performances from Swire Properties, Swire Coca-Cola, and HAECO. A refined valuation model applying different multiples to each business segment highlights the conglomerate's complexity and supports the optimistic forecast.
