JD.com (9618 HK): Overhang a Bigger Worry than Immediate Selling

By Brian Freitas

  • We do not expect there will be huge selling in JD.com Inc. (9618 HK) immediately. However, there will be an overhang on the stock in the near to medium term.
  • JD.com could drop in the next few days as the ADR allotment is sold in the market. Shorts that have been built up could soak up some of the flow.
  • The big worry is the US$4bn of JD.com stock that Prosus will receive. It is likely they will look to sell and use the cash to buy back their own stock.

  • In this note, we will run the deal through our ECM framework and talk about the recent updates.

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • In the context of both the war and the pandemic, the blood products market would be a field of high-quality investment. 
  • Due to strict policy supervision, the number of plasma stations is the core competitiveness of enterprises in this industry, which basically determines the scale and outlook of blood products enterprises. 
  • With the background of state-owned enterprise and also having the most plasma stations among peers,Tiantan Biological Products (600161 CH) has an innate advantage over other competitors, with more certainty in long term.

CIMC Enric (3899 HK): Still Running on the Fast Lane

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • Cimc Enric Holdings (3899 HK) posted a set of encouraging result for FY21. It achieved a 37.4% YoY growth in 2H21 even after a 77.5% growth in 1H21. 
  • Management suggests that gross margin will improve in this year as measures have been taken to cope with the factors that lead to the 2.3pp contraction in FY21.

CSPC Pharmaceutical (1093 HK): 2021 Results Review- Double-Digit Top-Line Growth, Driven By Oncology

By Tina Banerjee

  • CSPC Pharmaceutical Group (1093 HK) shares climbed nearly one-month highs after strong 2021 results and new drug approval. The company has recommended final dividend of HKD 0.10/share.  
  • 2021 revenue increased 12% y/y to RMB28 billion, mainly driven by the growth in the finished drug businesses. This has eased concern of CSPC’s revenue sensibility to pricing headwind.
  • The company is on track to launch more than 30 innovative and new-formulation drugs, and over 60 generic drugs in the next five years.

JD.com: Can Sustained Market Share Gains Be Transferred into Sustained Margin Progression?

By Wium Malan, CFA

  • JD.com Inc. (9618 HK) has been able to sustain its relative market share gains, in Chinese online retail sales, over the past two years, despite increased competitive pressure.
  • Recent weakness in its margin progression trajectory has cast doubts on its ability to realise its potential for long-term margin expansion.
  • With net cash at 31% of its market cap, relative valuation levels seem attractive.
