Real estate supports local government finances and large number of upstream industries like…

Outlook on China’s PMI  The month of June furthered the case that the Chinese economy has plateaued and potentially started declining again.

Throughout June, most industries showed a downward trend in production output generating a PMI of 50.0, .1 lower than the last month. The slowdown in output and manager expectation does not provide a positive outlook on a leverage…

Recent data of the excessively leveraged economy in China yielded few positive results. While data from previous months hinted that the Chinese economy might be heading towards growth, the post PMI of 50.1 defied those predictions.Most sectors in June either witnessed stagnant output or a decline except for steel which has witnessed output growth of 14% since January 31. Though in the beginning of June the daily steel output slightly declined, it is anticipated that with the start of the…

Since the GFC, the global port operators have been under-performing the MSCI world index. The divergence has increased in the last 18 months and is now reaching an extreme. Does this make the sector a buy? We believe the industry dynamics are changing and the sector is pricing in  a structural slowdown in global trade. The growth industry has matured and is now more akin to valuations given to a utilities business i.e. P/E compression is in play despite still strong margins and earnings. We believe that ports sector on a macro basis is moving from a growth stock to a value stock which commands stable but lower P/E.  Wider implications for this would be the investor profile for the ports will change as more value investors get in and growth investors move away. We expect Chinese operators to get aggressive on M&amp;A and cheapest valuation in the sector in years on account of structural weakness to drive M&amp;A.
