Thematic (Sector/Industry)

China’s wage has been increasing and is now higher than some of its peers. This means operating in China involves paying more in wages, which can cause the profit margin to narrow. An important question for businesses is if they can save by moving or planning future expansions in countries where wages are still below China. This article explores the implication of China’s rising wage rates for business organisations and forms a part of our upcoming briefing titled Facilitating Trade.

We consider this a good sign that the company will show strong growth once management refocuses on the core business.• Historical valuation indicates a target price of HKD16, which is 100% over the market price. The cash flow model and the 2017 P/E comparison conclude similar target prices. BUY.
