FY19 results from Kangda International Environmental (KIE) showed an improvement in profitability and China Water Affairs (CWA) has put in place a deal to increase its holding in its associate company. While the precise financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to be clarified, we have left our FY20 forecasts unchanged, but CWA’s current rating appears modest for such a defensive company.

The spread of COVID-19 and, to a lesser degree, the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia overshadowed most other issues in March. These twin shocks are posing unprecedented challenges to the Asian HY market.

The Asia Monthly focuses on providing updates on recent events, information on new issues and spread movements, as well as summarising our top picks and discussing specific areas of interest in the â€œIn-Focusâ€‌ section. The Asia Monthly is intended to broaden investors' understanding of the Asian USD high-yield market.
