Equity Bottom-Up

China Coal Energy Co H / Equity Bottom-Up

China Coal’s preliminary profit of CNY 350-520 million in the first half was no surprise, as the asset sales of four subsidiaries in the second quarter is likely to result in a one-off disposal gain of more than CNY 800 million, which suggests the company’s core operation is still loss-making.While the average coal price has rebounded about 10% since beginning of the year, we’ve yet to turn positive on the prospects for coal producers, as serious oversupply remains, and the downstream coal demand is still weak, which is reflected in flat industrial power consumption in the first half.We maintain both our no-moat rating and fair value estimate of HKD 2.00 per share, and we think the shares are overvalued currently given our outlook for continued losses and potential risks from China Coal’s stretched balance sheet.Analyst: Jennifer Song &amp; Lorraine Tan

Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics.

We all intuitively understand the concept of economic growth and keeping current with debt. But where so many commentators continue to proclaim China’s growth as being relatively strong, we feel compelled to disagree. It is not relatively strong compared with debt. The mirror image of the boon in credit for banks in China over the past several years is a high level of liabilities at the corporate level. If these same companies are not seeing higher growth, there is no way to keep pace with…
