  • There is some risk up for grabs, and it is likely to trade according to standard Hong Kong Rights Trading Dynamics. Shorts are down somewhat, but covering should be expected. 
  • There is path-dependency to the Rights Trading, and while they trade for 7 trading days through Tuesday next, one should expect the volume to trade this week.

Cathay Pacific (293 HK): Multiple Positive Developments

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • With more foreign countries being granted visa-free visits to China, Cathay Pacific Airways (293 HK) will benefit from more transfer traffic via Hong Kong.
  • Recovery is decent with passenger traffic rising 37.5% in 5M24. CX’s capacity already returned to 80% of pre-pandemic in 2Q24, and this will reach 100% in 1Q25. 
  • YTD, CX is still a laggard relative to many global airlines. Its P/B valuation is not stretched at 0.8x, given ROE of 11% over the next 3 years.  

China Healthcare Weekly (Jun23)-Retail Pharmacy’s Dilemma, Logic to Biotech’s Stock Price,YSB’s Risk

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Retail pharmacies experienced performance decline in April and May. Due to negative policies, retail pharmacies will experience industry clearance. Therefore, we do not recommend investors to bottom-fish related stocks now.
  • There is a logic to biotech’s performance from 2023 to present.The clearer the path of sustainable development, the better the stock price performance. They can be divided into three types.
  • YSB faces big risks and the outlook is not optimistic. If the final valuation of the Company is lower than China Resources Pharmaceutical and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, we wouldn’t be too surprised.

Acotec Scientific Holdings (6669.HK) – The Company Is Now In Trouble

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Acotec’s 2023 performance was unsatisfactory. Core products suffered weak growth. Positive trend of continuing to optimize revenue structure was broken. Sales of latecomers’ competing products would expand rapidly in 2024/2025. 
  • Revenue proportion in overseas markets was still below 5% in 2023. If no highlights in Acotec’s cooperation with Boston Scientific in 2024, this collaboration could be considered a failure.
  • Due to VBP, margin could further decline. If it’s just the current situation, then Acotec is not as good as Zylox-Tonbridge. So, its valuation should also be lower than Zylox-Tonbridge.

Aclaris Therapeutics Inc (ACRS) – Sunday, Mar 24, 2024

By Value Investors Club

  • ACRC is a biotech pharma micro-cap company trading below its net cash value
  • Downsized workforce after a failed phase 2 trial, CEO and CMO left prompting strategic evaluation
  • Activist investors involved, potential for monetization of stakes to benefit shareholders.

  • The company’s buildout of its electrical retailer Erablue, a JV with Mobile World, is gaining momentum and should become a significant growth driver along with Grand Lucky supermarket.
  • Erajaya will slow its store buildout this year as it focuses on productivity ny it still expected to add 200 new stores over in Indonesia. Valuation is attractive.

Daily Brief Macro: Why the November Election Matters to Gold and more

By | Daily Briefs, Macro

In today’s briefing:

  • Why the November Election Matters to Gold
  • Why the Breadth Divergence May Not Be Bearish
  • VALE US: Exposure to High-Grade Iron Ore With >8% Dividend Yield
  • Commodity Analysis – Crude Oil WTI Futures
  • US Financial Markets Underprice Geopolitical Risks as Equities Flirt With Another Melt-Up
  • Canadian Economy – June 12, 2024
  • Greek Economy – May 20, 2024
  • Comment on Exchange Rate EUR/USD – May 3, 2024


Why the November Election Matters to Gold

By Cam Hui

  • The latest CBO fiscal update raises the odds of upside inflation surprises in the coming years, which would be bullish for gold.
  • The intermediate-term outlook for inflation will largely depend on the outcome of the November election.
  • We project that a Biden win would be bearish for bond prices and mildly bullish for stock prices. A Trump win would be bond and USD bearish and gold bullish.

Why the Breadth Divergence May Not Be Bearish

By Cam Hui

  • Anxiety has been increasing among the technical analysis community over the blatant instances of narrow market leadership and negative breadth divergence. 
  • The bearish consequences of a negative breadth divergence can take over a year to be realized. Instead, they are warnings of bearish conditions than actionable tactical sell signals.
  • We interpret current market conditions as highly extended that can pull back at any time, but investors should also recognize that the situation could resolve itself in a benign manner.

VALE US: Exposure to High-Grade Iron Ore With >8% Dividend Yield

By Sameer Taneja

  • We like Vale (VALE US) for its exposure to high-grade iron ore (95% of EBITDA) and capital return discipline, with a current dividend yield of 8% and 3.5x EV-EBITDA. 
  • The cash flows from the iron ore business could be used to invest in base metals, such as copper, nickel, etc., to enhance the portfolio. 
  • The key risk remains the overhang from the Mariana Dam disaster being settled for  ~25.7 billion USD (vs. the current market cap of 50 billion USD). 

Commodity Analysis – Crude Oil WTI Futures

By VRS (Valuation & Research Specialists)

  • According to Graph 1, during the period February 28th , 2024 – May 31st , 2024, a mixed trend was reflected in the prices of crude oil futures amid fluctuations.
  • During the period under consideration, there was a notable increase in the price of crude oil until April 8th , 2024, whereas thereafter crude oil prices followed a downward trend returning to the levels seen at end of February 2024.
  • The MA- 10 was recorded to perform higher than MA-20 from the beginning, whereas on April 23rd the MA-20 took over and started trading above the MA 10 until the end of the period under consideration.

US Financial Markets Underprice Geopolitical Risks as Equities Flirt With Another Melt-Up

By Said Desaque

  • US equities have discounted the arrival of a lower federal funds rate (FFR). Upbeat corporate profit expectations and a lower FFR could easily produce an H2 equity market melt-up.
  • Financial markets have largely ignored geopolitical risks. Holding assets in Western financial institutions now has counterparty risks. High budget deficits driven by defence spending are bearish for productivity and profitability.
  • The appetite of private investors to buy longer-dated Treasuries will be tested by the arrival of persistently large budget deficits. Notably, the outlook for foreign participation is less certain. 

Canadian Economy – June 12, 2024

By VRS (Valuation & Research Specialists)

  • In the first quarter of 2024, Canada’s economy managed to grow by 1.6% (QoQ).
  • This growth is mainly attributed to real private and final consumption expenditures but also to real fixed capital formation as they increased by about 1.2% to 1.6% (QoQ) each.
  • Net exports slightly fell from 0.17% of GDP in fourth quarter of 2023 to 0.13% in the first quarter of 2024.

Greek Economy – May 20, 2024

By VRS (Valuation & Research Specialists)

  • The 2024 GDP projections for Greece show a 2.07% growth rate, so that Real GDP would reach €198.512 billion, lower than the previous projections of €199.205 billion.
  • In 2024, the IMF, OECD, and EU forecast an average growth rate of 2.07% for 2024 and 2.24% for 2025.
  • The Public Debt is projected to increase from € 356.695 billion to €362.856 billion in 2024 but with a lower Debt-to-GDP ratio than the previous year of 156.3% (161.9% in 2023). 

Comment on Exchange Rate EUR/USD – May 3, 2024

By VRS (Valuation & Research Specialists)

  • During the period under consideration, i.e. April 3rd, 2024 to May 3rd, 2024, the EUR/USD pair posted both downward and upward swings.
  • In the beginning, it faced a slight increase, while from April 9th until April 18th the pair faced a sharp decrease.
  • After that, it fluctuated sideways and by the end of the period the pair traded at a higher level but still below the price level of the start of April.

Sep24 Nikkei 225 Rebal – Still 1 ADD, 1 DELETE, 1 Dark Horse, But #2-Ranked ADD Is Close

By Travis Lundy

  • The Sep 2024 Nikkei 225 Review base date is six weeks away. One can no extrapolate results quite accurately. It still gives us one ADD, one DELETE, and capping fun.
  • Recently, Yanai-san sold more Fast Retailing (9983 JP). More active holders own more stock (which may mean less interest to buy later), and only 1% to go to avoid capping.
  • There should be one DELETE, one ADD. There is a low-probability Dark Horse ADD but I expect Kokusai Electric (6525) to be added in March 2025.

  • A big win for EOFlow (294090 KS) as the U.S. Federal Appeals Court issued its decision on overturning Insulet Corp (PODD US)‘s provisional injunction
  • L’Occitane (973 HK) finally announces the share alternative.  And  Pleasant Lake (3.25% of shares out) will accept the share offer (either cash or scrip). This is a done deal

MMG (1208 HK): Rights Trade Playbook

By Arun George

  • On 4 June, MMG (1208 HK) announced plans to raise HK$9.1bn (US$1.2bn) through 2 rights shares for every five existing shares rights offering, with a rights price of HK$2.62.
  • Since the rights issue announcement, MMG shares have declined by 16.2% to the undisturbed price and by 8.0% compared to the TERP of HK$3.48 per share. 
  • MMG’s trading pattern has diverged from Link REIT/Yuexiu’s rights trading due to the statement on 18 May that the Peruvian mine is not liable for a 30% withholding tax.

Webtoon Entertainment IPO: Favorable Risk/Reward IPO Valuation and Limited Downside Potential

By Andrei Zakharov

  • Webtoon Entertainment, a South Korean global storytelling platform and the world’s largest digital comics platform, filed for an IPO in the United States.
  • The company offers 15M shares at a price range between $18.00 and $21.00, implying a market cap of roughly $2.5B at the midpoint based on 129.3M outstanding shares.
  • I have a positive view of the upcoming Webtoon Entertainment IPO and I think risk/reward is more favorable for IPO investors given the company’s improving profitability and strong cash position.

Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Flows (To 21 June 2024): BIG Consumer Name Selling Again

By Travis Lundy

  • The Quiddity Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Monitor. Like the A/H Premium Monitor and HK Connect SOUTHBOUND Monitor. Lots of Flows/Position Tables and Charts with which to play.
  • Last week saw NORTHBOUND net SELL RMB 16.1bn of A-shares. NORTHBOUND bought tech and sold everything else, especially consumer names. Kweichow Moutai, Midea, appliances and renewables.
  • Ongoing questions as to whether the NORTHBOUND volumes to the buy side are all foreigners. Some suspect there is national team buying mixed in, as was expected from earlier announcements.
