Link REIT (823) – Anchors Aweigh! Fair Weather Sailing Ahead
- The Link REIT (823 HK) rights offering caused some upset amongst investors. They got dilution where they did not need it, and de-leveraging from a REIT wanting to invest.
- The units fell in price, then fell some more. Then the rights started trading.
- Last week in Link REIT (823) – Nil Paid Rights Start Trading Tomorrow – The Trades I said strategy was to be long by Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s Wednesday.
AAG Energy (2686 HK): Full-Year Results Lay Bare Xinjiang Xintai’s Low-Balled Offer
- On the 17 February, AAG Energy Holdings (2686 HK) announced an Offer of HK$1.85/share (declared final) by way of a Scheme from major shareholder Xinjiang Xintai Natural Gas (603393 CH).
- At a 10.1% premium to undisturbed and just a 2.2% premium over the highest closing price of HK$1.81/share in the past year, the Consideration price was unreasonable.
- FY22 numbers are now out, which further illustrates the Offer price’s inadequacy. AAG’s trailing PER and EV/EBITDA are 3.6x and 1.4x. Net cash accounts for 41% of AAG’s market cap.
AAG Energy (2686 HK): Solid Results Amplify the Risk of the NO Vote
- Aag Energy Holdings (2686 HK) released solid FY22 results which magnify the scheme risk of Xinjiang Xintai Natural Gas (603393 CH)‘s pre-conditional privatisation offer of HK$1.85 per share.
- The FY22 metrics show that the offer values AAG at a lower EV/1P Reserve and EV/Production vs the 2018 offer. It is unattractive in comparison to historical and peer multiples.
- The solid FY22 results and lack of dividends amplify the risk that minorities vote NO. The downside is capped as the shares are trading below the undisturbed price.
[Futu Holdings (FUTU US) Company Update]: Difference Assets Shield FUTU from the Fate of SVB
- SVB Financial’s (SVBF) liquidity risk sparked by high interest rate is unlikely to happen on Futu, as the two have different asset structures and business models.
- Futu is benefits under the rising interest rate environment, as its interest income generated from clients’ idle cash goes up,
- With also help from the floating rate of margin financing and mortgage lending business. We maintain BUY rating and the TP at US$51.
CSI300 Index Rebalance Preview: Narrowing the Gap
- Over 85% of the way through the review period, we see 14 potential index changes at the June rebalance that will be implemented at the close on 9 June.
- We estimate a one-way turnover of 2.28% at the June rebalance leading to a one-way trade of CNY 5.95bn.
- The potential adds have outperformed the CSI 300 Index over the last two months but have underperformed the potential deletes. The gap has been narrowing recently.

Pre-IPO Shanghai Duoning Biotechnology – The Industry, the Business and the Concerns
- The logic of Duoning’s business layout is that self-produced upstream products reduce the cost and increase customer stickiness, then lock in the purchase of future customers from the source.
- Although lagging behind imported enterprises in product performance, the upstream production cost control is one of the driving forces for the localization of pharmaceutical supply chain. Duoning has growth potential.
- A slow-down or reversal of trend related to life sciences industry growth could have an adverse effect on Duoning’s business. Overseas sanctions and policy risks are also the concerns.
[Atour Lifestyle (ATAT US) Target Price Change]: Strong Recovery Bodes Well for 1Q23
- The strong travel demand in Jan. and Feb. had pushed up the industry-wide ADR nearing the 2019 level due the temporary hotel shortage, Atour especially benefited from the trend .
- Except the positive industry trend, we think the releasing of requisitioned hotels and the expansion of Atour Light are the near-term catalyst for Atour.
- We maintain the BUY rating and raise TP by US$1.5 to US$36.5
