China Everbright Water (1857 HK): More to Look Forward

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • Weaker 2H22 and FY22 earnings are primarily caused by disruption from the pandemic, and the 18.7% share price retreat since 2022 should have well factored in an unexciting year.
  • Recovery of construction revenue, rebound in margin, completion of pipeline projects, increase in water tariffs and faster receivable collections are the key positive factors to watch. 
  • China Everbright Water (1857 HK) will generate ROE of 9.8% and 10.3% for FY23 and FY24. Such return profile renders its 3.5x PER and 0.35x P/B for FY23 inexpensive.
