MTR (66): Open or Closed?

By Henry Soediarko

  • HK reopening is debatable and seems to be very hard to predict as the Chinese government is keen to keep zero COVID stands although recent quarantine time reduction is positive. 
  • The number of passengers remains weak although the shorter quarantine reduction could provide short-term relief to the share price. 
  • Valuation looks undemanding compared to the peers although the outlook is more uncertain. Stay out for now. 

Nio: Difficult to Refute Most of Grizzly’s Allegations

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • Nio Inc. was targeted by Grizzly Research and accused of likely using an unconsolidated related party to exaggerate revenue and profitability. This unconsolidated related party was named as Wuhan Weineng.
  • As per the report, Weineng had helped Nio inflate revenue and net income by approx. 10% and 95% respectively in 9M2021, and FY2021 earnings beat by at least 60%.
  • In this insight, we take a look some of the allegations and have assessed the merits of the claims by Grizzly Research.

GOME Retail Placement: The Crisis Persists

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • As the mismatch between short-term assets and liabilities expands, GOME is raising HK$776.5m at HK$0.40 per-share, which is a 12.1% discount to the closing price on 27th June 2022.
  • This is clearly insufficient to pay down GOME Retail Holdings (493 HK)‘s RMB 40.0bn short term debt and accounts payable obligations falling due in the next 12 months.
  • With the omni-channel transformation taking longer than expected to turn around performance, the company might find it difficult to refinance the debt and maintain the supply chain as usual.

Arrail Group (6639 HK): Full-Year FY22 Results Indicate Demand Is Recovering

By Tina Banerjee

  • Despite regional lockdowns caused by COVID-19 during most part of FY21, Arrail Group (6639 HK) posted 7% y/y growth in revenue, driven by 14% y/y growth in total patient visits.   
  • China dental services market is growing at an average 20% per annum. Arrail’s low debt and strong cash position should support its business expansion plans to grab the market opportunity.
  • Despite competition, the company is expected to report accelerated double-digit revenue growth in next three years, by leveraging on its market leadership positioning and favorable macro tailwind.

Pre-IPO Rainmed Medical – The Industry, the Business and the Concerns

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The combination of FFR and IMR can provide a complete functional evaluation from epicardial arteries to myocardial microcirculation,pushing the precise diagnosis and treatment of coronary disease into a new era.
  • Rainmed’s caFFR System and caIMR System have obvious technical and first-mover advantages; The CE certificate also opens up the imagination space of product commercialization (such as developing markets).
  • However, the concerns on current sales model, market acceptance, medical insurance coverage, cash flow pressure and market sentiment when IPO should also not be neglected.
