Taste Gourmet FY26: Profit Surges 23% YoY, 9% Trailing Dividend Yield, And 37% Of Mkt Cap In Cash

By Sameer Taneja

  • Taste Gourmet Group (8371 HK)  posted FY26 revenue of HK$1,350mn (+11% YoY) and profit attributable to owners of HK$117mn (+23% YoY), driven by 11 new restaurant openings.

  • The stock trades at approximately 5.4x FY27e earnings. With the Truffle Donut franchise launch and several confirmed HK leases, visibility into FY27 growth is improving.

Get Nice Holdings (64 HK): Chairman to Take It Private?

By Arun George

  • Get Nice (64 HK)/GNH is in a trading halt “pending the release of an announcement in relation to the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers.”
  • Mr Hung (Chairman) is likely to reload his 2020 offer. The key difference is that he will seek to privatise GNH at this time.
  • I use several methods to triangulate the likely offer price, which suggests an offer of HK$4.74 to HK$7.09 per share, representing a 39.5% to 109% premium to the last close.

Momenta IPO: The Investment Case

By Arun George

  • Momenta Global (MOMENTA HK), a leading autonomous driving company, is pre-marketing a HKEx IPO to raise US$800 million.   
  • Momenta solutions had been deployed across eight of the world’s top ten OEM groups and all of China’s top ten OEM groups.
  • The investment case is bullish due to strong positioning, accelerating growth, rapidly narrowing loss margins, and reducing cash burn, all supported by a strong balance sheet. 

SMIC (00981.HK / 688981.SH): China’s Indispensable Foundry

By Mo Aziz

  • China’s only advanced-node foundry — China’s chipmakers relies on SMIC heavily and have no real alternative domestic manufacturer. The structural moat is real, but the Premium is over-streched. 
  • CNY9.5B Southbound surge on 25 June is a Micron results read-through, not a re-rating. Momentum will likely fade in 3–7 sessions. Fundamentals sets the floor.
  • Fair Value HKD 82 (-6% DOWNSIDE Potential). Global rival Foundries (UMC, GlobalFoundries) are way cheaper on every metric. Stay on the sidelines until sharer prices retracts to HKD72–76.

By Nico Rosti

Its ‘follow-the-molecule’ strategy creates sticky, long-term client relationships, driving revenue growth as projects advance from discovery to commercialization.

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

Primer: China National Building Material (3323 HK) – Jun 2026

By αSK

  • Pivoting from Cyclical Downturn to Secular Growth: China National Building Material (CNBM) is navigating a severe downturn in its core cement and concrete businesses, driven by the prolonged slump in China’s property market. Financial performance has deteriorated, with revenue declining and a shift to a net loss in the most recent fiscal year. However, the company is strategically pivoting towards its ‘New Materials’ segment, which includes high-growth products like glass fiber and composites, capitalizing on demand from sectors such as renewable energy and AI computing.
  • Unattractive Growth Profile but Deep Value and High Yield: The company’s historical growth is poor, with key metrics like revenue, net income, and EPS showing significantly negative compound annual growth rates over the last 3 to 7 years. Despite this, the stock trades at a substantial discount to its peers and historical valuation, with a very low price-to-book ratio. This deep value proposition is complemented by a high dividend yield, supported by its state-owned enterprise (SOE) status, which may appeal to income-focused investors.
  • Dominant Market Position and SOE Backing Provide Stability: As a central SOE and the world’s largest producer of cement, concrete, and other building materials, CNBM possesses significant scale advantages and a dominant market position. This status provides a degree of stability, access to capital, and influence in industry consolidation, which are critical competitive advantages, particularly during challenging market conditions. The government’s focus on infrastructure spending and green building materials could provide future tailwinds.

  • DKE has seized the favorable opportunity in e-paper industry. However, there are prominent structural weaknesses such as poor profit quality, high dependence on supply chain, and high customer concentration.

Primer: Befar Group Co Ltd A (601678 CH) – Jun 2026

By αSK

  • Befar Group is a major Chinese chemical producer with leading market shares in products like caustic soda and propylene oxide, but is facing significant profitability challenges.
  • The company exhibits a concerning divergence between strong top-line revenue growth and sharply declining net income and margins, driven by factors likely including raw material costs and competitive pressures.
  • Strategic initiatives include global expansion, with a new ‘green’ chlor-alkali plant in Egypt, and a focus on integrating new energy with chemical production, which presents both opportunities for long-term growth and significant execution risks.

Daily Brief China: Knowledge Atlas Technology, Link REIT, Circuit Fabology Microelectronics Equipment, Anker Innovations Technology, Crealights Technology, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, Alebund Pharmaceuticals Jiangsu, Zhejiang Taotao Vehicles and more

Knowledge Atlas Tech (2513 HK): Southbound Buying, Short Covering & Index Flows Vs Lock-Up Expiry

By Brian Freitas

  • Knowledge Atlas Technology (2513 HK) was added to Southbound Stock Connect on 8 June and mainland investors already own 31% of the current float.
  • Short interest has flattened over the last couple of months as shorts take a beating and there could be short covering on a move lower in the stock price.
  • Cornerstone lock-up expiry is on 8 July and the increase in float will result in index inclusions and upweights and result in big passive buying.

The Suburban Mirage: Short Link REIT (0823.HK) As Shenzhen Leakage Triggers Structural Collapse

By Jacob Cheng

  • The Shenzhen Exodus: Hong Kong’s retail moat is dead. Weekend mainland visits hit 530,000, vaporizing Link’s localized consumption base and driving severe negative rental reversions across its portfolio.
  • Valuation Freefall & Cap Rate Crisis: The Greater China property collapse continues. Expanding cap rates have incinerated asset values, pushing net gearing to a dangerous 23.9% as property valuations bleed.
  • Yield Trap in a “Higher for Longer” Era: With US rates stuck, Link’s dividend yield spread offers zero compensation for structural decay. HK$200M cost-cut target cannot stop the NPI hemorrhage.

Circuit Fabology H Share Listing (9630 HK): Valuation Insights

By Arun George


Pre-IPO Anker Innovations Technology (A/H Listing) – The “Shallow-Sea Theory” Does Not Work Well

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Anker’s performance maintained steady growth, but growth rate in 2025 was significantly lower than 2024 and the quality of cash flow deteriorated markedly, due to 2025 rechargeable battery recall incident
  • The failure of Shallow-Sea strategy is essentially a mismatch between expansion logic and market reality. Anker attempted to conquer niche category using light-asset logic, but each category has long-standing competitors
  • Considering Anker is a benchmark for Chinese consumer electronics industry, with high-quality profit performance (24% ROE)/multi-category matrix to diversify risks, reasonable valuation could be 16-20x P/E based on 2026 forecast.  

Crealights Technology (1191 HK) IPO: Lighting Up

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • Crealights Technology (1191 HK), an optoelectronic interconnection product provider, targets to raise HK$1.4bn from IPO. Its growth is solid, as revenue surged 6x in FY23-25.  
  • For the next three years, it will ride on AI spending, with revenue growing by a CAGR of 44.3%. However, heavy investments will sustain its losses.
  • At 4.5x FY26 P/S, the IPO is inexpensive relative to peers. It justifies a 20% discount to CIG Shanghai (6166 HK), or 5.1x P/S, implying at least 15% upside. 

Chow Tai Fook (1929 HK) – What Lies Ahead?

  • The company is poised to benefit from the growing global demand for electric scooters and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), driven by increasing interest in outdoor recreational activities and a shift towards eco-friendly transportation.
  • While demonstrating robust revenue and profit growth, the company faces risks associated with intense competition, product liability, and evolving safety and environmental regulations in its key markets.

Tongda (698): Stub, Long Dated, OTM Call Option

By Henry Soediarko

  • Taking into account the 66% ownership in Tongda Smart Tech, the market essentially is placing a negative value of the parent company business.
  • Tongda Group (698 HK) case is a bit similar to Wasion (3393 HK) but operationally a little diferent. 
  • Despite the valuation gap, it is relatively low-probability that management will conduct a share buyback or resume dividend payments to increase shareholders’ confidence. 

Hong Kong Single Stock Options Weekly June 15–18: Lockups and Vol Divergence in Focus

By John Ley

  • Market weakness, poor breadth and renewed focus on lockup expiries created a fragile backdrop for Hong Kong equities.
  • Single stock implied vol remained elevated relative to index implied vol, extending a trend that has led to a widening divergence.
  • The recent outperformance in Financial stocks came to an end as sector breadth deteriorated sharply.

  • I discussed the H Share listing in Lingyi ITech H Share Listing: The Investment Case. 
  • The proposed AH discount of 44.0% (based on the close on 16 June A Share price) is attractive, and I would participate in the H Share listing.

Aequitas: Lingyi ITech A/H Listing – Not Particularly Cheap

By Sumeet Singh

  • Lingyi iTech Guangdong (002600 CH) , an intelligent manufacturing platform, aims to raise around US$1bn in its H-share listing.
  • LIT offers a full range of development and manufacturing capabilities that cover core materials, high-precision functional components, modules and assembled systems for diverse end products.
  • We have looked at the past performance and likely A/H premium in our previous note. In this note, we talk about the IPO pricing.

By Nicholas Tan

  • SG Micro (3661 HK) is looking to raise US$587m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO.
  • SG Micro is a leading comprehensive analog integrated circuit (IC) company that designs, develops, and sells high-performance analog ICs and sensors.
  • In this note, we examine the IPO dynamics, and look at the firm’s valuation.

Kingboard (1888 HK) Vs Kingboard (148 HK) Tactical Outlook: The Subsidiary Premium Is Unwinding

By Nico Rosti

  • Kingboard Laminates (1888 HK)‘s relative outperformance versus its parent peaked at the May 29 global index inclusion and has since retraced 40% of the divergence built up since March.
  • The second block placement of 155 million shares at HK$76.00, combined with Kingboard (148 HK) probable August index inclusion, structurally favors continued convergence of the parent-subsidiary spread.
  • We apply our proprietary pattern analysis on the two stocks relative performance series: previous historical analogues suggest the current relative ‘outperformance rebound’ may stall soon and the convergence trend resume.

  • Wasion Management recently initiated a share buyback program of HKD 200 million that will provide a price floor for the share price. 
  • Ten pao is much cheaper than Wasion but that’s because Wasion’s earnings have grown more too. 

Lingyi ITech (1688 HK) IPO: Deserves a Narrower Discount

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • With an aim to raise HK$8.2bn of net proceeds, Lingyi iTech (1688 HK)‘s H-share IPO is a sizeable one and should attract interest.
