Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>FY22 is definitely bad for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-international-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen International (152 HK)</a> given the 64.9% profit plunge. However, negative contributors like Shenzhen Airlines and exchange losses will be removed in this year.</li>
<li>Earnings for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-expressway-co-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2875:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen Expressway (548 HK)</a> will improve and 1Q23 has witnessed good traffic recovery. Logistics profit will benefit from higher occupancy, REIT issuance and new projects.</li>
<li>Upside will come from logistics park transformation with profit from Yicheng Qiwanli pre-sale potentially to be booked. Consensus earnings forecast of HK$4.1bn is at low-end of our estimate. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Share price of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-international-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen International (152 HK)</a> started slow in this year, but it is on course for stronger earnings in FY23, following a dip in last year. </li>
<li>Upside from logistics business, benefits to <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-expressway-co-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2875:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen Expressway (548 HK)</a> on border re-opening, potential massive contribution from logistics parks transformation and upgrading and lack of Shenzhen Airlines' drag are drivers. </li>
<li>ROE is expected to rebound to 11-12% in next two years, returning to FY20-21 level. Back then, its average P/B was 0.68x, suggesting at least 31% upside from 0.52x currently. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The 1H22 result of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-international-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen International (152 HK)</a> is 4% ahead of indicated in profit warning. Key drags are toll roads and Shenzhen Airlines, but their 2H22 outlook is better.</li>
<li>It will see many new logistics projects to commence operations in the next 12-18 months. Also, SZI guided that it will continue to realise underlying asset value through strategic disposals.</li>
<li>We think the toughest time should be behind and expect more positive news on asset gains. The stock is very cheap at 0.41x P/B and 58% discount to appraised NAV. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-international-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen International (152 HK)</a> has secured pre-tax gain of HK$2.8bn from deemed disposal of Qianhai Business and this is another example for its ability to realise underlying asset value.  </li>
<li>SZI still holds a 50% stake in Qianhai Business, allowing it to capture further upside from this project. The transaction should also improve cash flow as land fees are repaid.</li>
<li>Other logistics transformation projects like the South China Logistics Park, which has an area even larger than Qianhai Business, will provide upside for the longer term. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-international-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen International (152 HK)</a> posted 11% profit decline for FY21, with Shenzhen Airlines the main drag. Stripping this and one-off items out, its bottom line would have grown by 46.6%.</li>
<li>Logistics growth pipeline is highly visible, and this adds to potential gains from logistics park transformation and strategic offload of matured and suitable projects through REIT or private fund.</li>
<li>The stock remains a deeply undervalued asset play at just 0.48x P/B. Its willingness to share gains with investors has put its dividend yield at 10.4% on current share price.</li>
