Lonking (3339 HK): A (Massive) Positive Profit Alert

<li>Strong industry sales of wheel loaders (+10.4% YoY) and excavators (+18.8%) in Jul-Aug suggested that the current consensus earnings forecasts are too conservative. </li>

Strong industry sales of wheel loaders (+10.4% YoY) and excavators (+18.8%) in Jul-Aug suggested that the current consensus earnings forecasts are too conservative. 

Lonking Holdings (3339 HK) will also benefit from the strength of the equities market, given it has an investment portfolio of Rmb2.4bn, or 18.6% of its market capitalisation.
Given net cash equalling HK$2.02/share, or 66.1% of its share price, its 10.3x PER and 4.5% dividend yield for FY25F still appear undemanding. 


<ul>
<li>Industry sales of wheel loaders and excavators surged 16.5% and 27.2% in 2M25. For Feb alone, the growth rates are even more impressive at 34.4% and 52.8%, respectively.</li>
<li>Post-CNY, the utilisation hours and rates of construction machinery rose 70.3% YoY and 12.3pp. Market share gain in developing countries will drive exports.</li>
<li>Government supportive policies announced in NPC will provide support to demand. Current consensus forecasts for profit decline in FY25 are disconnected from industry data.</li>
