HK/China Equity Long-Short

Osbert Tang, CFA

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<p>With an 11.6% YoY growth (in Rmb terms), China's export trade continued its recovery momentum in Aug. This represents a further acceleration from 10.5% growth in Jul and is the fifth consecutive monthly YoY growth since Apr. Export to US has picked up in the last two months while the growth to ASEAN maintained at over 15%. ASEAN sustained its position as China's largest trading partner, accounting for 15% of China's total trade value in 8M20.</p><p>We believe China' strong export and trade figures for Aug bode well for both <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sinotrans-limited-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1321:1" rel="noopener">Sinotrans (598 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sitc-international-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15301:1" rel="noopener">SITC International (1308 HK)</a>. Both companies are heavily geared towards China's trade activities and are with particular exposure to the intra-Asia market. Sinotrans has 50% of its freight forwarding volume in 1H20 from this geographical market while SITC has sole presence in intra-Asia trade. In our view, both companies will report solid 3Q20 figures by end-Oct.</p>
