CSET’s 1Q24 earnings of Rmb1.24bn (+12.8%) are better than we expected as the lower spot VLCC market has had no impact on profitability. Excluding non-recurring items, net profit grew an even more impressive 39.8%, with gross margin expanded 1.1pp. Along with better profitability, gearing has edged down 2.4pp in the last three months. Its 6x PER and 8.5% dividend yield for FY24 stayed attractive.
