Hesai extended its rally to a third straight day on Tuesday, jumping 10.98 percent to close at $20.22 apiece, as investors took heart from an investment firm’s bullish initial coverage for its stock.

In a market note, China International Capital Corp. (CICC) issued an “outperform” rating for Hesai Group (NASDAQ:HSAI), with price targets of HK$182.5 and $23.5, amid its position as the only profitable and one of the leading lidar companies with self-built automated production capacity and extensive customer resources.

The rating also reflected CICC’s confidence that Hesai Group (NASDAQ:HSAI) would be able to achieve 3 million shipments of automotive lidar to China by 2025, and ramp it up to 10 million units by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 58 percent.
