Pre-IPO Guangdong CHJ Industry – The Business Model, the Concerns and the Outlook

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • CHJ’s business model integrates franchise stores and self-operated stores. Franchising as the main approach is beneficial for achieving rapid expansion, while self-operation as a supplement helps to enhance brand image.
  • Due to increasing competition, future growth of CHJ may not be benefit from the high gold prices, but may be under pressure due to rising raw material costs/reduced customer demand.
  • We think valuation of CHJ should be lower than Laopu, but could be higher than Zhou Liu Fu (6168 HK) due to CHJ’s higher performance growth in the short term.
