We believe the spin-off by introduction of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-conch-environment-protection-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:34405:1" rel="noopener">China Conch Environment Protection Holdings (CEP HK)</a> by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-conch-venture-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19943:1" rel="noopener">China Conch Venture Holdings (586 HK)</a> will leave more clarity to the business of both companies. Fundamentally speaking, we think CEP is a solid company with a focus on cement kiln waste treatment services for solid and hazardous waste in China.The key positives for CEP are a leadership position in the industry, excellent new project pipeline momentum and strong relationship with its partners, in our view. However, the key negatives are declining margins, concentrated business lines and small market capitalisation. We estimate that CEP's market cap will be just HK$4.98bn and HK$6.38bn, based on the average PER of the peers (5.9x) and high-end of peers (7.6x).

What is the key question? Are we at the start of another 12-year bull market in value stocks? That's the duration of the last period when the value style of investing out performed growth in the Asia Pacific region.What is the evidence? Over the last 12-months, the balance between growth and value reversed the dominance that growth has held for much of the last 10-years. Whilst in Q1 2021, we remained cautious about a full declaration that the trend is reversing, we feel that the process is indeed underway and that a multi-year reversal is in progress. This is not just positive for value investors, but increasingly so for Small-Mid Cap investors.Why read this screening note? Q1 2021’s screen performance trumped the market delivering relative outperformance of 26.2%. Of the 27 names presented, 18 stocks delivered positive share price performance with an average increase of 21%, whilst the remaining 9 stocks declined 9.4 %. What is presented? 56 names appear in our Q3 2021 Asia Pacific list providing plenty of opportunity for investors. The average EV/FCF multiple of 5.2x in Q3 2021 compared to 6.3x in Q1 2021 and 5.6x in Q2 2020. The average Free Cashflow multiple on equity is 4.6x in Q3 2021 versus 4.2x in Q1 2021.
