Equity Bottom-Up

In a management update by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-longyuan-power-group-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14215:1" rel="noopener">China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK)</a>, the company highlights that outlook stays positive and see no company- and industry-specific reasons for the recent retreat in share price. In fact, Longyuan believes that it is on track to reach its target to achieve utilisation hours of 2,240 for the full-year and the Sep generation figures (+21.7% YoY for wind generation and +15.8% YoY) remain very decent performance.Longyuan also shared that there will not be significant impact of the recent rise in coal price on its coal-fired power stations, thanks to its own coal trading business which provides a hedge. Other positive developments including the good progress on A-share listing, derived benefit from relaxation of coal-fired power tariffs and increase in power trading. However, offshore wind project will remain on elevated capital costs but Longyuan notes that it is in a good position to secure new projects.

China Longyuan (916 HK): Takeaways from Management Update

We think there are three developments at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-longyuan-power-group-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14215:1" rel="noopener">China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK)</a> that driven its recent strength and will stay supportive to the share price. They are: 1.) positive debut of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-three-gorges-renewables" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28950:1" rel="noopener">China Three Gorges Renewables (600905 CH)</a>, 2.) approval from SASAC on merger with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/inner-mongolia-pingzhuang-eng-resources" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4267:1" rel="noopener">Pingzhuang Energy (000780 CH)</a>, and 3.) solid May and 5M21 generation. In particular, the positive performance of the IPO of CTGR is the most important factor, in our view. With potential further upside at CTGR in the near term, we believe Longyuan's strength will likely to hold as well.SASAC's approval also marked an important step in Longyuan's proposed absorption and merger with Pingzhuang Energy, allowing it to access the liquidity in the domestic market. This adds to the continued solid wind and overall power generation in May, sustaining the encouraging trend of good underlying business momentum. With Longyuan currently trading on 13.5x FY21F PER, compared with CTGR's 19.5x, we believe its valuation is demanding at all.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-three-gorges-renewables" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28950:1" rel="noopener">China Three Gorges Renewables (600905 CH)</a> (CTGR) will formally kick off its IPO today at Rmb2.65 per share. Relative to its peers, we see the stock's valuations appealing given its growth outlook, sizeable scale and large market capitalisation. The 36.7x subscription rate for institutional interest during the price consultation period also indicated good demand from professional investors.The online IPO roadshow on 28 May also painted a positive picture for CTGR. The company addressed the issues on removal of subsidies, cost advantages, market expansion, business segment outlook and ROE prospects, and generally the takeaways are not disappointing. Mainland China-listed peers are sitting on an average of 21x PER and 1.5x P/B for FY21F, and this makes CTGR's proposed multiple - 13.6x (weighted average) and 1.1x P/B not too demanding.

China Three Gorges Renewables (600905 CH) A-Share IPO: Kick-Start of IPO and Post-Roadshow Updates

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-longyuan-power-group-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14215:1" rel="noopener">China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK)</a> continued to post good generation figures - up by 22.8% YoY in Apr, sustaining the encouraging track set in 1Q21 (+26.9%). Versus 4M19, the 4M21 generation growth was 26.6% higher, signaling that low base effect is not a reason for the good growth. After recording a 28.2% net profit growth for 1Q21, we believe Longyuan will be able to sustain its profit trend on the back of capacity addition and improvement in power demand.We also see positive implications from the upcoming IPO of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-three-gorges-renewables" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28950:1" rel="noopener">China Three Gorges Renewables (600905 CH)</a> (CTGR) in the A-share market. CTGR is expected to be listed in early-Jun, and it is fetching valuations of 13.6x PER (weighted average) or 15.5x (fully-diluted) for FY21 based on its IPO price. With a smaller presence than Longyuan in wind power, lesser net profit and lower ROE, its IPO market cap is 4% higher than Longyuan and PERs are richer than Longyuan's 12.1x. In our view, these figures highlight that Longyuan's currently valuations are still undemanding.   Please read this Insight together with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/china-three-gorges-renewables-a-share-pre-ipo-initial-thoughts" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:38547" rel="noopener">China Three Gorges Renewables A-Share Pre-IPO: Initial Thoughts</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/china-three-gorges-renewables-600905-ch-a-share-ipo-set-for-late-may-and-thoughts-on-valuations" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:51199" rel="noopener">China Three Gorges Renewables (600905 CH) A-Share IPO: Set for Late-May and Thoughts on Valuations</a>.
