Chow Tai Fook Jewellery on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage on Chow Tai Fook Jewellery by top independent analysts on Smartkarma shows diverging sentiments. Douglas Kim, in his report “Asian Dividend Gems: Chow Tai Fook Jewellery,” highlights the company’s underperformance with shares down 28.2% YTD compared to the Hang Seng Index’s 6% gain. Despite this, Kim believes this gap is excessive and points to the company’s attractive valuations with a P/E of 10.1x and average dividend yield of 4.8% from FY20 to FY24.

In contrast, Osbert Tang, CFA, in his report “Chow Tai Fook (1929 HK): Disappointed,” expresses a bearish sentiment due to the company’s weaker-than-expected FY24 net profit, lack of special dividend, and operational challenges. Tang emphasizes the stock’s unattractiveness at the current level given the pressure from earnings downgrades. However, in his report “Chow Tai Fook (1929 HK): What if Special Dividends Are Declared?,” Tang suggests a potential bullish scenario if special dividends are paid, highlighting the market’s conservative stance on the company’s dividend potential and the possibility of a significant share price increase.
