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