HSCEI Index Rebalance Preview: Lenovo Could Replace Hansoh Pharma; Great Wall In/Sunac Out?
- Lenovo (992 HK) could replace Hansoh Pharmaceutical (3692 HK) in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI INDEX) at the June rebalance to be implemented on 10 June.
- If Sunac China Holdings (1918 HK) remains suspended, it could be deleted from the index and Great Wall Motor (2333 HK) could be added to the index.
- Passive Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI INDEX) trackers will need to buy around 2.45% of Lenovo (992 HK)‘s real float. Short interest is over 17 days of ADV.
Hang Seng TECH Index Rebalance Preview: Big Impact as NIO (9866) Could Replace ASM Pacific (522)
- NIO Inc (9866 HK) passes the velocity test and could replace ASM Pacific Technology (522 HK) in the Hang Seng Tech Index (HSTECH INDEX) at the June rebalance.
- Given the low trading volumes and the large assets tracking the Hang Seng Tech Index (HSTECH INDEX), passive trackers will need to buy around 10 days of ADV on NIO.
- Passive trackers need to sell around 7 days of ADV on ASM Pacific Technology (522 HK). Given implementation is two months away, sell the stock on rallies.
China Comm Const (1800 HK): Takeaways from Post-FY21 Result Call
- China Communications Construction (1800 HK) targets for at least 6% growth in revenue with slight operating margin expansion for FY22; and these should sustain its stable growth trend.
- It will increase focus on “big city” projects where there are more opportunities. We think its target of at least 11.8% new contract value growth in FY22 is conservative.
- Reduction in losses at concessionary projects, improvement in operating cash flow and lowering of gearing levels all indicate that CCCC is moving in the right direction.
Innovent Biologics Inc (1801.HK) – Capable of Surviving “this Winter”
- The biggest characteristic of Innovent Biologics Inc (1801 HK) is its strong ability of resources integration. Besides, when it comes to execution, clinical efficiency and R&D productivity, Innovent deserves credit.
- If having 10 big commercialized drugs are the threshold for becoming a biopharma, Innovent’s upgrade from biotech to biopharma is almost complete.
- Innovent has enough cash flow over the next few years to support development, and may even turn losses into profits. So, we think that Innovent could get through “this winter”.
Jin Jiang Capital (2006 HK): Composite Doc Out. 26 April H-Class Meeting
- Hotel operator Shanghai Jin Jiang Capital Company Limited (2006 HK)‘s Composite Doc is out. The H-Class meeting on the 26 April, with expected payment on the 17 May.
- The IFA considers the Offer to be fair and reasonable.
- This is done and trading tight at a gross/annualised spread of 1.6%/14%.
