Trading at only 9x PER with a 5% dividend yield, Xinyi Glass Holdings (868 HK)  does not sound expensive at all especially when it combines with the index inclusion effect since September 2021. However, its biggest selling product is float glass which the management has confirmed that ties to the performance of the construction sector in China, which is currently under government scrutiny due to the stalled growth and overleverage. 

Flat Glass (6865 HK) 's majority of revenues come from PV glass with a tiny exposure in float glass and household glass. PV glass made up around 83% of the revenue while the other products such as Household Glass, Architectural Glass, and Float Glass made up around 5%, 8%, and 1% respectively. The company benefits from the increasing demand for clean energy. 



One can say that it may be too late to start shorting Xinyi Glass as the share price has decreased by around 30%  in 3 months. However, given the bleak short-term outlook of the property sector in China, the 60% of Xinyi Glass’ revenue from Float Glass may decrease by 25-50% and the price multiple should be lower too.

On the other hand, going long Flat Glass means participating in the growth of the clean energy and ESG sector that is currently a hot topic in the market plus participating in the Grid Parity in China.
