0359 GMT - Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor image sensors are likely to attract more attention from investors in 2025, Daiwa Capital Markets analysts say in a research report. Drivers include likely sustained recovery in global smartphone demand, the analysts say. Another driver is ongoing car smartification trend which will boost average selling prices of automobiles' CMOS image sensors and the number of such sensors per car, they add. Sony Group and Will Semiconductor are key beneficiaries. The brokerage raises target price on Will Semiconductor's shares to CNY180.00 from CNY165.00 with unchanged buy rating. It has an outperform rating and target price of Y3,700 on Sony Group's shares. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
