HK CEO & Director Dealings (26th Sep 2024): Dongyue Group, C&D International, China Aoyuan Property
- The data in this insight is collated from the “shareholding disclosure” link on the HKEx website.
- Often there is a corresponding HKEx announcement on the increase – or decrease – in the shareholding by directors. Or pledging. However, such disclosures are by no means an absolute.
- The key stocks mentioned in this regular insight include: Dongyue Group (189 HK), C&D International Investment (1908 HK), and China Aoyuan Property (3883 HK).
CICC (3908 HK): M&A Possibility
- China’s securities industry is under a wave of consolidation. China International Capital Corporation (3908 HK) is interesting given its leadership in the investment banking business.
- A combination with China Galaxy Securities (H) (6881 HK) may bring synergy, given their different focuses. This will create the 3rd largest securities house in China.
- Even without a merger, CICC also looks attractive with the US interest rate trending down. It is best set to gain upon the revival of the Hong Kong IPO market.
New World Dev (17 HK): Board Games
- Evidently the influence of a younger hip third-generation tycoon-scion was not the panacea for New World Development (17 HK) and its ongoing issues in the HK/China property space.
- As widely expected, Adrian Cheng is stepping down as NWD’s CEO, to be replaced by Eric Ma, Hong Kong’s former secretary for development.
- NWD will also sell the rights to provide property management services under the K11 brand to Adrian; and potentially sell its stake in Kai Tak Sports Park to its parent.
