Insights across South East Asia

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-shineway-pharmaceutical-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6241:1" rel="noopener">China Shineway Pharmaceutical (2877 HK)</a> has been listed since December 2004. The IPO was 231x oversubscribed and the company was listed at 4.36 HKD. Since then the company has consistently paid interim, final, and special dividends totaling 5.89 HKD/share. Currently, Shineway has 6 HKD/share in net cash on the balance sheet vs a 7.2 HKD stock price. Cash is therefore approximately 85% of the market cap. Shineway is not a hot stock, on the contrary, it is a TCM player out of Hebei which is rather boring. There's positive and negatives about the TCM sector which we will delve into below. What attracted us to Shineway, and why it deserves your attention, is the new dividend policy it announced in late July. We believe this has gone largely unnoticed by investors but provides a floor for the stock which was not there before.Shineway <a href="http://api.aconnect.com.hk/Attachment/67377" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that from its 2021 dividend base of 0.6 RMB, the dividend would grow EVERY year with at least 15%, or by the % growth in earnings (whatever is higher). It also announced it would pay the dividend in quarterly installments. Shineway has effectively become a "Pharma REIT-or-BOND-like investment instrument". So while your downside is supported by 1) the 6 HKD/share cash pile and 2) the new dividend policy. The upside case is a change from rock-bottom sentiment towards TCM and any of their five key growth drivers delivering earnings upside (see corporate presentation attached).Shineway reminds us a lot of a similar situation at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/oriental-watch-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19950:1" rel="noopener">Oriental Watch (398 HK)</a> over the past few years. Assuming the dividend policy is followed and the dividend grows by the minimum %/year investors in Shineway get back their entire investment in 6.5 years.In our base case, we forecast Shineway to have a dividend yield of 11.5% in 2022, 13.3% in 2023, 15.3% in 2024, and 17.7% in 2025.In our bull case, we forecast Shineway to have a dividend yield of 12.5% in 2022, 15.7% in 2023, 19.7% in 2024, and 24.7% in 2025.

Hang Seng Indexes Company (HSIL) reviews the constituents of the Hang Seng Composite Index (HSCI) on a half yearly basis in March and September with data cut-off dates as of the end of December and June. The review announcement for the September 2021 review should be made on 13 August and will be effective after the close of trading on 3 September.Although there are almost no assets indexed to the HSCI, the index forms the basis of stocks that are eligible for Southbound Stock Connect. Stocks that are included in the HSCI and subsequently included in the Stock Connect program get inflows from mainland investors.We see 28 potential inclusions to the HSCI at the rebalance and 15 potential deletions, plus another 7 close deletions. Only 10 of the potential deletions will be removed from Southbound Stock Connect buy list since the other deletions are either not a part of Stock Connect currently or have listed A-shares.The inclusions to the HSCI outperformed the deletions at the March rebalance from review cut-off to announcement of the changes before giving by some of the gains to implementation and then some more for the 1 month post the implementation of the changes.

The announcement was in response to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sinopharm-m-a-china-tcm-exclusive-idUSKBN29W0J5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Reuters article</a> on 27 January that Sinopharm is leading a consortium to privatise CTCM. The rumoured privatisation price of HK$5.10 per share is a 26.6% premium to the unaffected price of HK$4.03 per share (26 January) and an 18.6% premium to the last close of HK$4.30 per share (27 January prior to the trading halt). <div class="content-highlight">We believe that the privatisation will be likely done through a scheme of arrangement. As a Hong Kong incorporated company, the key condition precedent is the scheme approved by at least 75% disinterested shareholders (&lt;10% disinterested shareholders rejection).

According to the management, the market for TCM granules is expected to be deregulated in the 3Q 2018 that sees the provincial player (currently is only allowed to sell within their home province) has the license to sell outside their home province. With strong sales staff and production capability, China Shineway is positioned to take advantage of the TCM granules deregulation. Burdened with stagnant sales growth over the past 5 years, the company can potentially turn into a growth story.
