AviChina Industry (2357 HK): Another Step in Restructuring

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • AviChina Industry & Tech (2357 HK) announced plan to consolidate helicopter business by disposing Changhe Aircraft and Harbin Aircraft to its subsidiary Avic Helicopter (600038 CH)
  • AviChina can achieve synergy at its helicopter business, realise capital gains from disposal and enjoy higher valuations on these assets while maintaining its controlling ownership.
  • The resultant increase in stake in Avicopter will further widen AviChina’s discount to its holdings in four listed A-share subsidiaries. Its current 66% discount is just too steep.

Pre-IPO Beauty Farm Medical and Health Industry – Hard to Make Money Due to Industry Characteristics

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Beauty Farm Medical and Health Industry (BFM HK)’s solid growth has indicated that its business model works. But the industry tightening regulation and potential policy risk are our concerns.
  • As a downstream company in this industry, we are conservative about Beauty Farm’s profitability. Its profit space could be limited. The Company has weak bargaining power in the whole industrial chain.
  • Beauty Farm’s performance could continue to be under pressure due to weak recovery of domestic demand after three years of the pandemic, especially those non-rigid consumption demand.
