The sharp plunge in share price of China Conch Environment Protection Holdings (587 HK) has not yet brought its valuations back to more reasonable levels and we see more downside.
Its 10.1x PER for FY22F is at a significant premium over peer average. Even taking into account the impressive ROE, we still cannot find justifications for its high P/B multiple.  
Negative catalysts include overly aggressive expansion target, slower profit growth than rise in capacity and surge in gearing and finance costs - they will potentially lead to earnings disappointment.
