Oriental Watch (398 HK): H1 FY24 Lower than Expectation But A 15% Div Yield, Cash >60% of Mkt Cap

By Sameer Taneja

  • Oriental Watch (398 HK) reported an 8% YoY profit decline for H1 FY24 (Vs. our expectation of 10-15% growth) due to a higher taxation rate and lower margins in HK. 
  • Despite that, the company distributed 100% of its profits for a 28.5 cent HKD/share dividend (15% annualized) and built net cash/investments to 1.25 bn HKD (62% of market cap). 
  • Trading at 7x FY24e PE with abundant cash and real estate with a 15% yield, the stock is worth exploring with the perspective of building a high-yield portfolio.

By Eric Wen

  • Xiaomi reported C3Q23 top-line, non-GAAP EBIT, and GAAP net profit (2%), 7% and in-line vs. our est., and in-line, 4%, and 13%, vs. consensus respectively.
  • Xiaomi’s recent run could be short lived, as (1) Huawei will soon launch mid-range 5G handsets, (2) the Mi 14 will soon face new high-end Android competition;
