Daily Brief ESG: Pre AGM Annual Securities Report Disclosure as a Clue to a True Dialogue with Investors and more

By | Daily Briefs, ESG

In today’s briefing:

  • Pre AGM Annual Securities Report Disclosure as a Clue to a True Dialogue with Investors


Pre AGM Annual Securities Report Disclosure as a Clue to a True Dialogue with Investors

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Based on experience with “TSE’s request,” it’s impossible to request the same level of disclosure from every company. Companies that overseas investors can target should be requested to disclose proactively.
  • This “FSA’s request” is expected to potentially cause companies to lose the effectiveness of the tactics they have used to control AGMs. Future steps are expected.
  • The slowdown in profit margin growth may also increase calls for improved corporate governance practices, with more companies reducing cross-shareholdings and launching stronger shareholder returns.

Pre-IPO CF PharmTech – The Outlook Is Bleak Due to VBP and Fierce Competition

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Unlike most biotech companies in Hong Kong which focus on innovative drugs, CF PharmTech mainly produces generic drugs. Its revenue mainly comes from CF017, with high single product risk.
  • The pipelines have to face fierce competition and don’t have advantage in R&D progress in from of competing candidates. CF PharmTech is hard to generate decent profits due to VBP. 
  • Since its establishment, CF PharmTech has raised its valuation step by step through multiple rounds of capital increase and equity transfer.Valuation was RMB4.021 billion in 2022, which is already high.

  • Silicon Motion (SIMO US) Taps NVIDIA AI Pipeline, Sees PC Market Turning

  • Amaero International Ltd – New five-year contract kicks off commercialisation push
  • Airtasker Ltd – Key RaaS KPIs heading in the right direction


JSW Infra: Expansion Plans Prudent; Valuation Multiples Remain Elevated

By Rahul Jain

  • Strong FY25 growth, but bulk cargo (~90%) dominates, keeping revenue per ton lower versus peers.
  • Targeting 10% volume and 50% logistics growth by FY27, with heavy CAPEX and Navkar integration focus.
  • Trades at ~28x EV/EBITDA, ~40x P/E — far higher than Adani Ports; promoter dilution likely to meet public float norms.

Vanguard (5347.TT): 2Q25 Outlook Slightly Upbeat; US Tariffs Remain a Negative Factor.

By Patrick Liao

  • We assume that Vanguard Intl Semiconductor (5347 TT) will see an upside in its 2Q25 outlook by a few percentage points.
  • The DDIC (Display Driver IC) segment appears relatively flat, while PMIC (Power Management IC) may experience slight growth.
  • Vanguard Intl Semiconductor (5347 TT) and other Taiwanese semiconductor Fabs are not subject to the 125% tariff imposed by Beijing on U.S. products. 

Silicon Motion (SIMO US) Taps NVIDIA AI Pipeline, Sees PC Market Turning

By Vincent Fernando, CFA

  • SIMO beat 1Q25 EPS estimates by 20%, with strong gross margins (47.1%) driven by PCIe Gen 5 SSD controller mix and tight cost control.
  • SIMO’s MonTitan confirmed as boot SSD supplier for NVIDIA’s BlueField-3 DPU, marking SIMO’s formal entry into NVIDIA-linked enterprise AI storage.
  • Management maintains $1bn revenue run-rate target for 4Q25, supported by PCIe 5, UFS 4.1, and MonTitan ramps. We maintain our Structural Long rating.

China Healthcare Weekly (May.4)-HK Stock Is About to Soar, Mindray’s Trouble,Views on Akeso’s Plunge

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The HKD hit its upper limit of 7.75/USD. Capital inflows are expected post–Labor Day, likely boosting Hong Kong stock prices.
  • Mindray faces headwinds. A turnaround may come in 25Q3–Q4, but the market seeks a new growth story. A 20–25x TTM P/E reflects fair value, not undervaluation.
  • Akeso’s high valuation leans on HARMONi-3 and HARMONi 7 over HARMONi-2. Final OS data raises concerns, as MRCT is challenging and the safety margin is lower than expected.

Chinese Express: SF, STO Enjoyed Margin Expansion in Q125; YTO, Yunda Saw Margins Contract

By Daniel Hellberg

  • SF Hldg had slowest Q125 revenue growth among China-listed express companies, STO fastest
  • Only these two express firms reported margin expansion in Q125 — how’d they do it?
  • Q125 results suggest two very different paths toward improved express profitability

  • On 2 May, Smartpay Holdings (SPY NZ) disclosed receiving a third non-binding scheme proposal from another international strategic at NZ$1.20 (A$1.12), 20% premium to the Tyro Payments (TYR AU) offer.
  • Smartpay previously disclosed a NZ$1.00 cash/scrip bid from Tyro and an undisclosed offer from an international strategic (rumoured to be Shift4 Payments (FOUR US)). 
  • Smartpay was susceptible to bids due to the RBA’s surcharge review, but the shareholder structure necessitates an attractive offer. The NZ$1.20 offer is attractive.

Crude Awakening: Shell’s Possible Bid to Refine BP’s Future

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Shell–BP deal offers strong industrial logic, with $70B in synergies justifying a 40–50% premium while delivering robust EPS accretion and strategic energy transition alignment.
  • Regulatory hurdles are real but manageable, with anticipated divestitures in UK/EU fuel retail and limited structural issues in the U.S.
  • Multiple financing structures are viable; a 60/40 cash-stock mix preserves leverage discipline, limits dilution, and enhances deal feasibility from a risk-arb perspective.

Daily Brief Macro: Trend Asset Allocation Model Update: Still Cautious and more

By | Daily Briefs, Macro

In today’s briefing:

  • Trend Asset Allocation Model Update: Still Cautious
  • Trust the Thrust, or Sell in May?


Trend Asset Allocation Model Update: Still Cautious

By Cam Hui

  • Our Trend Asset Allocation Model is a market timing model with a record from 2013. A model portfolio using its out-of-sample signals achieved 85/15 like returns with 60/40 like risk.
  • Our review shows that the main components of the global economy are either weak or neutral. 
  • This calls for a risk-off defensive posture to portfolio construction. Trump’s trade wars have only just begun and recession risk is rising.

Trust the Thrust, or Sell in May?

By Cam Hui

  • We are seeing a resurgence of buy signals, or at least constructive signs for stock prices. 
  • Against that, the stock market is also facing a number of bearish headwinds, such as the “Sell in May” negative seasonality influence.
  • We believe the intermediate path of equity prices is down. However, the reflex rally is a much-hated one and the short-term pain trade may be up.

  • Crude Awakening: Shell’s Possible Bid to Refine BP’s Future


Laopu Gold (6181 HK): Global Index Inclusion Likely Derailed by Full Circulation

By Brian Freitas

  • Laopu Gold (6181 HK) was on track to be added to a global index given its large H-share market cap and a free float that was close to 20%.
  • Completion of the full circulation in April pushed H-share market cap higher while free float market cap remained the same. Crucially, free float dropped below 15%.
  • Laopu Gold (6181 HK) could miss index inclusion in May, while inclusion in August will need some selling from non-float investors following lock-up expiry in June.

Evolution Mining (EVN AU): Global Index Inclusion in May as Gold Rallies

By Brian Freitas

  • Evolution Mining‘s stock price has moved higher over the last year as Gold has gone on a big run. The increased market cap should result in a global index inclusion.
  • Evolution Mining (EVN AU) has performed in line with its peers over the last year and trades in line with the group on most valuation parameters.
  • Positioning has jumped in Evolution Mining (EVN AU) and its peers over the last couple of months. The index inclusion could result in outperformance over the next few weeks.

Hanwha Ocean (042660 KS) Placement: Index Implications; Stock Appears Wildly Overvalued

By Brian Freitas

  • Korea Development Bank is looking to sell 13m shares of Hanwha Ocean (042660 KS). That is US$740m at the top end of the marketed range and 4x ADV. 
  • Following the sale, Korea Development Bank will still own over 15% of the company and that will be an overhang for the stock. Plus the stock appears wildly overvalued.
  • There will be limited buying from passive trackers at the time of the placement with bigger passive flows coming through in June and August.

CATL H Share Listing: AH Discount Views

By Arun George

  • Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) (300750 CH), the world’s largest supplier of EV and ESS batteries, is set to launch an H Share listing to raise US$5 billion.
  • In CATL H Share Listing: The Investment Case, a leading market position, forecasted return to growth, peer-leading profitability, cash generation, peer-leading FCF margin and an attractive valuation are highlighted.  
  • In this note, I examine the likely discount CATL will offer its H Shares compared to the A Shares.

ASX200 (AS51 INDEX) Outlook: Rallying Out of a Bear Market Amid Passive Flows And Sector Strength

By Nico Rosti

  • Over the past three weeks, the S&P/ASX 200 (AS51 INDEX) has staged one of the strongest rebounds since the early April Trump-tariff shock, rallying approximately +15% from its 16-month low.
  • Several factors are driving the rally: recent passive flow activity, as highlighted by Brian Freitas but also broad-based sector strength, with notable gains in energy, healthcare, and consumer staples.
  • Despite a positive outlook, our models indicate the index is currently OVERBOUGHT. This insight breaks down the key details.

Smartpay (SPY NZ/SMP AU): Three Is No Crowd as a Third Bid Lands at NZ$1.20

By Arun George

  • On 2 May, Smartpay Holdings (SPY NZ) disclosed receiving a third non-binding scheme proposal from another international strategic at NZ$1.20 (A$1.12), 20% premium to the Tyro Payments (TYR AU) offer.
  • Smartpay previously disclosed a NZ$1.00 cash/scrip bid from Tyro and an undisclosed offer from an international strategic (rumoured to be Shift4 Payments (FOUR US)). 
  • Smartpay was susceptible to bids due to the RBA’s surcharge review, but the shareholder structure necessitates an attractive offer. The NZ$1.20 offer is attractive.

Last Week in Event SPACE: Toyota, Rio Tinto, Hainan Meilan, Fujitsu General

By David Blennerhassett

  • Toyota Chair TOYODA made a proposal to take over Toyota Industries (6201 JP), not because he loves forklifts etc; but an opportunistic way to buy a large block of Toyota.
  • Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO AU) shareholders voted down Palliser’s proposal to review its dual-company structure. That was the right outcome.
  • Hainan Meilan (357 HK)‘s H-share Offer price of HK$10.62/share is not compelling; but it’s not meant to be, as the SPA Buyer and Seller are ultimately controlled by Hainan SASAC.


Oisix: Major Growth Expected in Foodtech

By Michael Causton

  • Given Japan’s growing interest in food-based health solutions, multiple players are looking to build businesses in the field across gut health and dietary solutions for the old and infirm.
  • Oisix, the leading online food retailer has developed an incubator for start ups in this area.
  • It is hoping to create a mini silicon valley for food tech businesses.

Crude Awakening: Shell’s Possible Bid to Refine BP’s Future

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Shell–BP deal offers strong industrial logic, with $70B in synergies justifying a 40–50% premium while delivering robust EPS accretion and strategic energy transition alignment.
  • Regulatory hurdles are real but manageable, with anticipated divestitures in UK/EU fuel retail and limited structural issues in the U.S.
  • Multiple financing structures are viable; a 60/40 cash-stock mix preserves leverage discipline, limits dilution, and enhances deal feasibility from a risk-arb perspective.
