China Dongxiang Group Co (3818 HK) posted Rmb748m losses for 1H FY22, primarily a result of investment losses. Nonetheless, we still consider it a very undervalued asset play.
Net cash reached Rmb1.4bn and investment portfolio is valued at Rmb7.7bn. This compared attractively relative to current market cap of just HK$4.3bn, or roughly equals to 61% discount.  
Its sports business will suffer in the near term as the rejuvenation progress is weaker than expected. However, this is not an important part and should not move CNDX much.

China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp Ltd / Equity Bottom-Up

We have expressed our positive view on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-tourism-group-duty-free-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12278:1" rel="noopener">China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp Ltd (601888 CH)</a> in various Insights previously. In this Insight, we look at the proposed H-share IPO from the perspective of investors who do not know it well. For seasoned investors in this name, this Insight serves as a summary of our views and provides background details on the proposed IPO.Fundamentally speaking, the key positives for CTG Duty Free are: 1.) absolute leadership in China's duty free market, 2.) encouraging growth outlook, and 3.) solid profitability and financial position. Key negatives are: 1.) policy risk and rising competition, 2.) concern on payback of new projects, and 3.) risk of overseas expansion. If the IPO is being priced at the current average H-A discount, it will be on 32.7x FY21F PER, we see this not expensive relative to the premium retailers listed in Hong Kong.
