Equity Bottom-Up

<ul><li>We downgrade Meidong to HOLD from Buy despite its superb management execution, as we believe it still faces strong industry headwinds in the short term and may lack catalysts amid its high valuation.</li><li>We think the weak earnings in 2H22 could extend into 1H23E.</li><li>Key metrics in 2H22 trailing peers. Porsche’s new-car GPM at Meidong narrowed to a historical-low of 3.2% in 2H22.</li></ul>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-meidong-auto-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:10795:1" rel="noopener">China MeiDong Auto (1268 HK)</a> presents an excellent investment opportunity, trading at 13.3x/8.1x FY22/23e, post street estimate revisions downwards with a dividend yield of 6.0%/10% (assuming an 80% payout). </li>
<li>China MeiDong Auto (1268 HK) 's integration of Starchase is progressing better than we expected, with metrics on inventory dramatically improving. We believe the management will focus on aftersales now. </li>
<li>The company will join the EV bandwagon by collaborating on aftersales with players having operational (not financial) difficulties performing this service, presenting a good opportunity for the company. </li>
</ul>

<ul><li>We project Meidong’s 2H22E net profit to fall 23% YoY amid new-car margin weakness in 4Q22.</li><li>On the other hand, we expect StarChase and after-sales services to aid its profitability with FY23E net profit to surge 76% YoY on our estimates.</li><li>We believe Meidong is still best positioned among Chinese dealers with its strongest management execution and better brand mix than its peers.</li></ul>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.

<li>While the company asserts there is a well-defined pipeline, it was not very specific on the size and scope of its targets which was not taken well by the market.</li>
<li>We continue to like the company, trading at a 15x/9x PE FY22e/23e, with a 5.2%/8.8% dividend yield (assuming an 80% payout ratio), with the optionality of M&amp;A potential. </li>
