China Everbright Environment (257 HK): Roaring in the Year of Tiger!

We think the key drivers include the growth from operational projects, good capacity expansion potential, positive track of receivable collections, upside on waste treatment tariffs and manageable capex to support new projects. We see it to achieve resilient EPS CAGR of 20% but trading on just 4.8x PER and 0.67x P/B, the stock remains deeply undervalued. </p><p>CEE believes that the efficiency of its waste-to-energy projects can improve as electricity generated per tonne still has good room to rise and it will also look into more M&amp;A opportunities under the 14th 5-year Plan. Meanwhile, CEE seeks to increase the waste treatment tariffs following the central government's policy to increase the share of subsidy responsibility of the local governments. All these should point to better profitability going forward, in our view.</p>
