- Yancoal Australia Ltd (3668 HK) fell 14.9% yesterday. Essence International released a research report saying that it gave Yancoal Australia a “buy” rating. Assuming that the coal price in 2022-24 is 368/260/187 Australian dollars per ton, it is expected that the revenue and net profit in 2022 will be 368/260/187 Australian dollars per ton. Profit can reach AUD 11.901/4.956 billion, an increase of 120%/526% year-on-year, which is lower than the valuation of its peers and has considerable room for improvement; the EPS forecast in 2022 is AUD 3.75, and the target price is HKD 49.38, which is 54.5% higher than the current price upside potential.
- Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd (2899 HK) tumbled 8.9% yesterday, along with other gold stocks. Gold and copper prices retreated further on Monday as the dollar notched a new 20-year high amid growing fears of rising interest rates and a potential economic recession. Metal markets plummeted last week following the announcement of the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked interest rates and warned of potential economic pain as it looks to combat runaway inflation. Spot gold was unchanged around $1,643.82 an ounce, while gold futures fell 0.3% to $1,651.30 an ounce by 19:31 ET. Both instruments are trading at their lowest level since early 2020, after logging sharp losses last week.
- CK Asset Holdings Ltd (1113 HK) declined 8.6% yesterday, together with Hong Kong real estate stocks. Morgan Stanley said in a research report that rising interest rates will lead to weaker affordability. According to the bank’s calculations, the ratio of monthly mortgage loan payments to monthly income in the private residential market is 55%, and if HIBOR rises to 3.5%, the relevant ratio could reach 62%. Morgan Stanley said that Hong Kong’s residential property prices have fallen by 8% since the beginning of the year, and it is expected to fall by another 5% in 2023, indicating that the bottom has not yet been reached.
- China Merchants Port Holdings Co Ltd (144 HK) and Prudential PLC (2378 HK) fell 9.6% and 7.3% respectively. Hong Kong stocks slumped deeper into bear-market territory amid growing concerns about a global recession, erasing earlier gains built on hopes for a full reopening of the local economy as mandatory quarantine rules ended.
