Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Following a slow moving car crash, the takeover for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/changhong-jiahua-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5849:1" rel="noopener">Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK)</a> finally busted on the 20th September 2026 after failing to secure provincial DRC and DoC approvals.</li>
<li>At the time, Changhong was trading at HK$0.57/share versus the undisturbed price of HK$0.92/share. That in and of itself appeared attractive. </li>
<li>The board has now resumed paying interim dividends. Sitting on a 10% yield - 18th December payment. That yield jumps to 19% should a final dividend be paid next June.</li>

<li>Almost a year in, Changhong Group has yet to secure the regulatory approvals for its HK$1.223 scheme offer for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/changhong-jiahua-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5849:1" rel="noopener">Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK)</a>.</li>
<li>The offer will be effectively blocked, not by a Sichuan NDRC/Commerce rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude by the 20 September long stop date.</li>
<li>On a deal break, I expect little-to-no downside due to improving fundamentals, significant peer re-rating and significant discount to the undisturbed price. </li>

Almost a year in, Changhong Group has yet to secure the regulatory approvals for its HK$1.223 scheme offer for Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK).
The offer will be effectively blocked, not by a Sichuan NDRC/Commerce rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude by the 20 September long stop date.
On a deal break, I expect little-to-no downside due to improving fundamentals, significant peer re-rating and significant discount to the undisturbed price. 


Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK): The Upcoming Long Stop Date Sets the Pretext for a Deal Break

<li>For those who came in late, I expected <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/enn-energy-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:316:1" rel="noopener">ENN (2688 HK)</a>'s Offer to get up. I was wrong. For all intent and purpose, I'm also wrong on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/changhong-jiahua-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5849:1" rel="noopener">Changhong (3991 HK)</a>.</li>
<li>Changhong is trading 50% below terms and 34% below the undisturbed price of HK$0.92/share. A peer basket is down 5% (the median) since the Offer was announced last September.</li>
<li>1H26 financials were solid. Changhong has added net cash of $1.4bn since the Offer was announced. If small, illiquid stocks are your bag, Changhong's share price is unduly beaten up.</li>

For those who came in late, I expected ENN (2688 HK)'s Offer to get up. I was wrong. For all intent and purpose, I'm also wrong on Changhong (3991 HK).
Changhong is trading 50% below terms and 34% below the undisturbed price of HK$0.92/share. A peer basket is down 5% (the median) since the Offer was announced last September.
1H26 financials were solid. Changhong has added net cash of $1.4bn since the Offer was announced. If small, illiquid stocks are your bag, Changhong's share price is unduly beaten up.
