Water Oasis, Execution Makes It More Compelling

By Sameer Taneja

  • For FY21, Water Oasis (1161 HK) paid a 22 cent dividend implying a 12.43% dividend yield. We forecast a forward yield of 14%.
  • The company will continue to execute as it opens newer stores and beds down its M&A for a 15% CAGR revenue growth.

Capcom – Monster Hunter Rise PC Launches Even as Stock Hits 12 Month Low

By Mio Kato

  • Early last year we very wrongly called Capcom as our top short-term pick as we expected an earnings blowout in 1QFY22. 
  • The blowout duly came with OP 37% above clueless sell side expectations and… the stock tanked. 
  • Almost a year later the stock languishes 28% lower just as the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise launches.

Bilibili Makes a Late Entry into Livestreaming E-Commerce; Timing Is Not Just Right

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • Bilibili launched a shopping cart feature (Xiaohuangche) recently on its livestreaming platform which enables users to purchase goods while watching a live-stream.
  • This comes at a time; China’s common prosperity crackdown has set its eyes on livestreaming e-commerce.
  • Bilibili has been looking at ways to improve its monetisation to reduce losses, but we think the new initiative will likely add further pressure on deteriorating margins.

By Tina Banerjee

  • With its nationwide distribution and delivery network, Sinopharm Group Co Ltd H (1099 HK) remains a beneficiary of increasing adoption of China’s VBP scheme for drug procurement.
  • Despite decreasing demand for Sinopharm’s COVID-19 vaccine, its pharmaceutical distribution business is expected to remain stable, driven by the steady recovery in China’s healthcare industry.
  • The company is successfully promoting fast-growing oncology products. Its strategic partnership with I-Mab (IMAB US) further strengthens competitive edge, as I-Mab has a robust pipeline for China market.

SCGP: Expect 4Q21 Earnings to Grow QoQ

By Research Group at Country Group Securities

  • Downgrade to HOLD rating due to limited upside, with a TP of Bt72, based on 30xPE’22E, derived from 2-years trailing average.Share price which is trading at premium to Asia ex-Japan
  • We expect solid 4Q21 earnings at Bt1.9bn (+9%QoQ, +31%YoY),backed by both sales growth and  margin expansion, given the demand recovery after the easing of ASEAN lockdown and multiple M&As consolidation
  • We expect 2022 earnings to grow strongly by 30%YoY, on the back of organic and inorganic growth; coupled with global demand recovery, that we anticipate in 4Q21 onwards

EPG: Expect 3QFY22 Core Earnings to Grow QoQ but Contract YoY

By Research Group at Country Group Securities

  • We expect the company to report 3QFY22 (Oct-Dec) core profit at Bt400m (+9%QoQ -12%YoY). QoQ expansion will be due to recovery for thermal insulator sales after selling price adjustment 
  • We maintain positive outlook for earnings growth in FY2023 (+14%YoY) backed by; 1.) an increase in revenue for thermal insulator and consumer packaging segments, 2.) improving operating margin
  • We assume profit margin to remain at high level at above 31% in the remaining quarters of FY22 as demand for most of the products remain strong while

Recent IPO Insights: Samsara

By Aaron Gabin

  • Excellent management team, previously co-founded Meraki, which was sold to Cisco.
  • Hypergrowth software business on par with ServiceNow and Workday at this stage in growth, but much less profitable (so far) due to hardware and bandwidth costs.
