A/H Premium Tracker (To 22 Dec 23): Wide Premia Narrow; Narrow Premia Widen. Stay Long Hs Vs As

By Travis Lundy

  • The New and Better (5mos old) A-H Premium Tracker has tables, charts, measures galore to track A/H premium positioning, southbound and northbound positioning/volatility in pairs over time, etc.
  • SOUTHBOUND and NORTHBOUND flows were both sells, respectively, but liquid Hs with H/A pairs OUT-perform As on average by 100+bp. Liquidation by overseas investors feels finished.
  • STILL time to go long Hs vs As for the new year at 52wk wide discounts.

International Housewares Retail Company Limited (1373 HK): H1 FY24 Off To a Bad Start

By Sameer Taneja

  • H1 FY24 (May-Oct 2023) was off to a sluggish start for the company, with a 4.7%/35% decline in revenue/adjusted NPAT. 
  • The company cited soft demand, loss of business days due to inclement weather, one-offs in relocation or warehouses to efficient locations, and increased staff costs for poor profits.
  • Post the correction, the stock trades at a trailing PE of 11x and dividend yield of 8%, but we will have to wait further out as business conditions are worse.
