Great Wall Motor (2333 HK) – RMB Dual Counter Trading Starts Today, Watch that A-Share Discount

By Travis Lundy

  • 24 different HK-listed stocks will be tradable in RMB on the HKEX starting 19 June. They make up 35% of HKEX market cap, 40% of total turnover. They are fungible.
  • The ultimate goal is to allow mainland investors to trade HK stocks in RMB, but we’re not there yet. Southbound has yet to be approved for the 21 SB-eligible names.
  • Only five of the 24 have A-shares, and of those, three (China Mobile, CNOOC, and Great Wall Motor) have wide H-share discounts. Those should be the ones to look at.

BeiGene (6160.HK/​BGNE.US) – AbbVie‘s Patent Infringement Allegations Are Not as Simple as Imagined

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • AbbVie’s patent infringement allegations against BeiGene Ltd (6160 HK) is an attempt to obstruct BeiGene through legal means and save Imbruvica’s sales decline in the market. AbbVie came prepared this time.
  • BeiGene has a chance to win the lawsuit if without any political factors.But if BeiGene fails to walk away unscathed, any damages/patent royalty would be detrimental to its financial performance/forecast.
  • The real key point in determining BeiGene’s future turnaround is not this lawsuit, but the clinical results of TIGIT project. Even with the correction since May, BeiGene is still expensive.
