Meidong: Now at 11.5 HKD, a Great Entry Price

By Sameer Taneja

  • Since our note in April China Meidong: Back the Porsche at 20 HKD, the company is down greater than 50% despite improving fundamentals due to bearish sentiment on China.
  • The stock trades at 11.3x/6.4x FY22/23e PE. Assuming an 80% payout ratio, the stock has a 7.1%/12.5% dividend yield for FY22/23e. We believe there is an upside to the payout.
  • Checks with the company suggest Porsche sales are robust in the high double digits, and the company has overall accelerating revenue trends since Q1 2022. 

Kirin: Another Beat Could Turn Consensus from Pessimism into Optimism

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • Consensus has dismissed Kirin Holdings (2503 JP)’s revised revenue and OP guidance by maintaining consensus 2022 revenue and OP estimates at ¥1,970bn and ¥149.8bn respectively.
  • With the yen depreciating by an additional 5-15%, domestic business outperforming expectations and raw material prices falling, we expect another raise to Kirin’s annual guidance in 3Q22.
  • We think a second upgrade to 2022 guidance can turn consensus from pessimism to optimism.
