Taste Gourmet FY26: Profit Surges 23% YoY, 9% Trailing Dividend Yield, And 37% Of Mkt Cap In Cash
- 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.
- Net cash rose to HK$266mn (37% of market cap). The board declared a final dividend of 9 HK cents, bringing the full-year total to 17 cents and yielding approximately 9%.
- 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?
- 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
- 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
- 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.
