  • The leadership in power and new energy equipment industry, improving gross margin outlook, well-covered order book and undemanding multiples are the key merits of Dongfang Electric (1072 HK)
  • CIMC Enric Holdings (3899 HK)‘s good presence in clean energy, chemical/environmental and liquid food segments, global product competitiveness, secured order backlog and net cash position are its major edges. 

Micro-Tech Nanjing (688029.CH)-Worth a Spot on the Watch List Due to Possibility of Dilemma Reversal

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Micro-Tech Nanjing Co Ltd (688029 CH) would face lower-than-expected performance growth in 2022, but the logic of import substitution and increasing demand for endoscopy consumables would help drive future growth.
  • Centralized procurement is a problem, but Micro-Tech’s leading position of endoscopy consumables in China is stable, which wouldn’t be easily affected by centralized procurement when compared with other domestic companies.
  • The valuation of Micro-Tech should be lower than Mindray and Sonoscape, since these two companies have much better performance (both growth and profitability), product competitiveness, business layout and outlook.
