GCL Poly (3800 HK): Double Index Inclusion & HUGE Passive Inflows

By Brian Freitas

  • After being suspended for 7 months for not publishing its 2020 annual results, Gcl Poly Energy Holdings Limited (3800 HK) resumed trading on 1 November 2021.
  • We expect Gcl Poly Energy Holdings Limited (3800 HK) to be added to the MSCI China Index in August and to the FTSE All-World Index in September.
  • Passive index trackers will need to buy over US$1.1bn of stock over the next few months. The stock has run-up inline with peers and this demand could keep it supported.

Link Admin: Speculation Mounts that DND Will Revive the Deal with a Lower Offer

By Arun George

  • The AFR reports that after weeks of talk, Dye & Durham (DND) is expected to lob a revised lower proposal for Link Administration (LNK AU) as soon as this week.
  • Presumably, DND’s justification for a lower offer is to facilitate ACCC approval timelines. It remains to be seen if this is enough for the Board to recommend a lower offer. 
  • Tweaking the IE’s valuation range for the current peer multiples and PEXA Group (PXA AU) share price points to a Link valuation range of A$3.52-4.40 per share. 

Meituan Push into Sell Resistance

By Thomas Schroeder

  • Meituan is starting to show waning upside momentum as it near key resistance at 220/230 (sell or short zone) ahead of a harder pullback cycle that will be choppy initially.
  • Meituan has outperformed its peer group but due for a pullback. Price and RSI rising wedges are maturing and nearing a bearish inflection point to short (watch poor buy volume).
  • Tactical rally window in mid July with a better rally cycle slated for August head of a negative September.

Long Idea: EPAM Systems

By Aaron Gabin

  • EPAM is an IT Services firm that does high end software development for Fortune 2000 customers.
  • One of the great under the radar compounders of all time. Feb 2012 IPO-Feb 2022: ~27% revenue, earnings, FCF CAGR, 45% equity CAGR.
  • Core engineering talent historically in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, this is the overhang. We think great management team can navigate relocation and return to growth.
