HK/China Equity Long-Short

Osbert Tang, CFA

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

While sales for excavators and wheel loaders are still seeing YoY decline of 9.2% and 11.5% for Jul, there is no further significant deterioration when compared with the pace in Jun. We think that part of the reasons for the slowdown in the last few months are high base effect, and the extreme weather situation and outbreak of local COVID-19 cases have both exacerbated the headwinds. Nonetheless, we see outlook for 2H21 to be more promising.Similarly, a high base for 2H21 comparison should be well-anticipated. However, the recent positive tone from the government on infrastructure investment and the potential acceleration in special purpose bond issuance should bode well for the industry and we continue to see <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lonking-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3944:1" rel="noopener">Lonking Holdings (3339 HK)</a> as well-placed. The encouraging new contract signed in 1H21 at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-communications-construction-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:265:1" rel="noopener">China Communications Construction (1800 HK)</a> also lent a helping hand to the demand, in our view.
