Foshan Haitian Flavouring & Food Company (3288 HK) – The Dull Post-IPO Share Price and the Outlook
- Recent positive sentiment towards A/H listings fails to drive Haitian’s post-IPO stock price performance, as the market still has doubts about whether Haitian can effectively break through the growth bottleneck.
- The core contradiction of Haitian lies in the mismatch between high valuation and slow growth. Haitian’s fundamentals are difficult to support high valuation – 20-30x P/E is a reasonable range.
- The intensification of geopolitical tensions has brought considerable uncertainty to the market, which has reduced investors’ risk appetite and made them more willing to avoid investment targets with potential risks.
