Beijing Enterprises Water Group (371 HK)/(BEWG) will launch a conditional mandatory general offer (MGO) for Beijing Enterprises Urban Resources (3718 HK) at HK$0.78 as it crossed the 30%+ voting threshold. 
The MGO is conditional on the offeror and concert parties holding more than 50% of the voting rights (currently own 38.64%). The MGO price is unattractive, in our view.
BEWG's justification for the offer and lack of a “no increase in offer price” wording suggests the possibility of a bump. The shares closed 2.6% above the MGO price.    


Beijing Enterprises Urban Resources’ MGO at HK$0.78. Is A Bump Possible?

<li>Share price was off 23% in the last two days, yet we think <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-everbright-environment-group-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15946:1" rel="noopener">China Everbright Environment (257 HK)</a> has posted a set of healthy result, though somewhat behind expectations.</li>
<li>Good new project momentum, further increase in operation revenue and collection of national subsidies are key factors backing earnings growth and improvement in cash flow over the next 2 years.</li>
<li>Longer term, management stays bullish on the industry growth opportunities. Its 14.5% ROE and mid-teens earnings growth both suggest the stock's 3.3x PER, 0.45x P/B and 9.4% yield inexpensive.</li>

China Everbright Environment (257 HK): Sell-Down Unwarranted Given Positive Prospects

In the latest update by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-everbright-environment-group-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15946:1" rel="noopener">China Everbright Environment (257 HK)</a>, the tone is generally bullish for the outlook in the next two years. We think the key drivers include the growth from operational projects, good capacity expansion potential, positive track of receivable collections, upside on waste treatment tariffs and manageable capex to support new projects. We see it to achieve resilient EPS CAGR of 20% but trading on just 4.8x PER and 0.67x P/B, the stock remains deeply undervalued. CEE believes that the efficiency of its waste-to-energy projects can improve as electricity generated per tonne still has good room to rise and it will also look into more M&amp;A opportunities under the 14th 5-year Plan. Meanwhile, CEE seeks to increase the waste treatment tariffs following the central government's policy to increase the share of subsidy responsibility of the local governments. All these should point to better profitability going forward, in our view.
