Ausnutria’s Offer Gets Up. But Only Just
- 52.7%. The only number that matters. That satisfied the acceptance condition to the mandatory conditional cash Offer. But it was a close-run thing.
- The Offer is now unconditional and will remain open for acceptance until the 17 March.
- Yili has no intention to privatise Ausnutria Dairy Corp (1717 HK) and intends to maintain its listing following the close of the Offer.
Minth (425): Margin Contraction
- Aluminum is Minth Group Ltd (425 HK) biggest raw material.
- The war that spiked the commodity price does not show any sign of ending soon therefore margin contraction is expected.
- Get out or short it if you are a hedgehog.
IQiyi: Huge Drop in Operating Losses Despite Flat Revenues; Path to Profits Becoming Clear
- IQIYI Inc (IQ US) reported 4Q and full-year 2021 results on Tuesday. Revenue for the quarter declined 0.9% YoY to RMB7.39bn (vs consensus RMB7.31bn).
- Operating losses for the quarter was RMB975.2m (vs consensus RMB1.33bn), about 13.2% of revenues compared to RMB1.31bn (17.5% of revenues) in 4Q2020.
- IQiyi’s ADRs jumped 21.5% at the end of Tuesday’s close as the company mentioned that it expects quarterly non-GAAP operating break-even as soon as possible.
Tencent Support to Give Way
- Tencent is commencing a fresh down leg below 413 support. We have been bearish/short from the 500 handle with a projection of 370.
- Tencent’s breakdown is lagging the HK tech index which raises conviction for Tencent weakness/follow through to the downside.
- 320 macro support attracts in Q3 as long as we stay below 413.
