Apparently, China Communications Construction (1800 HK) has an uninspiring 3Q22, but this is mainly due to losses at concession projects and heavy credit and asset impairments.
We estimate outstanding backlog at Rmb3.28trn, enough to cover 4.5x FY22F revenue. Expansion in 3Q22 gross margin, against declines in 1Q22 and 2Q22, is a positive development.
Despite outperformance against major indexes YTD, CCCC still trades on 2.3x and 2.1x PERs for FY22-23. Its 0.16x P/B has overly discounted the value of underlying assets.


China Comm Const (1800 HK): 4Q22 Looks to Be a Period of Acceleration

<li>It is actively looking to recycle and realise the value of its assets and good progress are expected in 2H22. Such moves will narrow the currently deeply discounted 0.18x P/B. </li>
<li>With order backlog amounting to 4.6x of annualised 1H22 revenue, earnings prospects are well secured, making its FY22F PER of 2.6x and FY23F of 2.3x very cheap.</li>

China Communications Construction (1800 HK) should see positive new contract momentum in 2H22. We also expect softening in cost pressure to bring about better margin. 
It is actively looking to recycle and realise the value of its assets and good progress are expected in 2H22. Such moves will narrow the currently deeply discounted 0.18x P/B. 
With order backlog amounting to 4.6x of annualised 1H22 revenue, earnings prospects are well secured, making its FY22F PER of 2.6x and FY23F of 2.3x very cheap.


China Comm Const (1800 HK): Key Takeaways from Post-1H22 Call

<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-communications-construction-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:265:1" rel="noopener">China Communications Construction (1800 HK)</a> sealed Rmb371bn of new contract in 2Q22, or a 35.2% YoY growth, representing a sharp acceleration from just 4.9% in 1Q22. </li>
<li>We estimate backlog is now around Rmb3.5trn and this equals to 5.2x FY21 revenue. This should have improved from 4.6x at end-FY21 and provides CCCC a secured pipeline.</li>
<li>CCCC is well positioned to gain more contracts in 2H22 as driven by the local government special purpose bonds issue. Such issue reached Rmb1.5trn, or a 166.1% growth, in Jun.</li>
