Closed price 86.2 Besides, Life & Health insurance new business value rose 15.4% yoy in 1Q21. Its overall result is slightly higher than expectation. Expected P/E (X) 8.4 Expected Dividend Among business segment, Life & Health insurance operating profit rose 3.3 yield (%) steadily by 4.2% year on year to RMB25,580mn in 1Q21. Besides, 52 week high 103.6 thanks to combined ratio improved by 1.3 pps year on year to 95.2%, Ping 52 week low 74.6 An Property & Casualty insurance operating profit increased 15.2% to 14RSI 28 Rmb5.1bn in 1Q21. On the other hand, Ping An Bank operating profit rose 18.5% yoy to Rmb10.1bn. Ping An made a Rmb18.2bn provision related to China Fortune Land Development (CFLD) in 1Q21, which is around one third of Ping An total equity and debt exposure on this property company. It resulted in a Rmb10bn drag on Ping An Insurance net profit in 1Q21. Ping An will depend on future CFLD restructuring progress to adjust the provision. Thanks to strong jumpstart sales, Ping An life business first year premium rose 23% yoy in 1Q21. However, new business margin fell 2 percentage due to higher mix of short term saving product, resulted in only 15.4% new business value growth. Looking ahead, Ping An iterated that its life and health business is still at reform stage, and maintained guidance for life new business value positive growth target unchanged. Overall speaking, Ping An Insurance first quarter result is stable. Besides, we believe that the provision made for CFLD is adequate and will remove investors concern on this aspect. After recent share price downward adjustment, Ping An Insurance valuation is 8.4x prospective P/E, which seems not demanding. Suggest accumulate, target price is HK$100. Analyst: Samuel Chua, CFA http://www.kgieworld.com 23 April 2021 2 Investment Daily Great Wall Motor(2333)21Q1 Result Missed Expectation Great Wall Motor(2333) announced that 21Q1 operating revenue was Great Wall Motor(2333) Info RMB31.12 billion which grew 1.5 times YoY. Net profit was RMB1.64 Closed price 21.35 billion, which dropped 40% QoQ. 20Q1 loss was RMB650 million. Overall profitability was below expectation. Expected P/E (X) 19 Expected Dividend Indeed, Great Wall 21Q1 sales volume was strong, up 1.3 times YoY to 1.7 yield (%) 339,000. Among all brands, ORA volume growth was the fastest. Q1 52 week high 31.8 sales growth was over 10 times to 31,000 accounting for around 9% of 52 week low 4.7 total volume. Sales proportion increased 1.5 ppt QoQ. And core brand 14RSI 44 Haval sales volume grew more than 1 time to 223,000. Even though 21Q1 sales volume grew 1.3 times, profit still missed expectation. It was mainly attributable to raw material cost hike. Secondly, sales contribution of NEV with low margin increased which was unfavorable to sales mix. And chip shortage resulted into lower capacity utilization. Gross profit margin dropped more 3 ppt QoQ. Management said that surge in raw material price resulted into RMB1000-2000 increase in cost per car. And it led to 1-2 ppt negative impact towards gross profit margin. According to CPCA, ORA Black Cat, which was the best selling product line of Great Wall Motor, ranked the fourth in March NEV market. Sales volume reached 8,527. Market data showed that Black cat selling price ranges from RMB70,000-84,800, which was a low price model and well received by young car owners. But due to increase in sales of low price product, gross profit margin is under pressure. Management responded to low profitability of NEW by launching higher ASP product(RMB100,000-200,000) and high end product lines(RMB300,000+). Forward looking, the company launched 8 new cars. Product pipelines is rich. We look forward to Tank SUV with high margin. Selling price ranges from RMB170,000-210,000. Order on hand exceeded 40,000. Management expects that when chip shortage relieves, monthly sales volume may reach 10,000. In terms of valuation , FY21 forecast P/E is 19x which is higher than last three year average but similar with local brand peer Geely(175). It is believed that Q2 automobile sector will still be constrained by chip supply and raw material cost hike. As a result, profit visibility declines in short term. Investors are suggested to wait till supply landscape turns visible. It is expected to see support at around HK$19.

  • The Trade War and China's Oil and Gas Supply Security
    HIGH ANXIETY: THE TRADE WAR AND CHINA’S OIL AND GAS SUPPLY SECURITY BY ERICA DOWNS NOVEMBER 2019 “If Oil Supplies Are Cut Off, How Much Oil Does China Have?” —Cover of the June 15, 2019, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical1 “Is China’s Oil Supply Still Secure?” —Cover of the August 15, 2018, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical2 Introduction In summer 2018, China’s president Xi Jinping, facing pressure from the US-China trade war, intervened in a long-running debate within China’s oil industry about the extent to which national security concerns or market forces should determine domestic oil and natural gas production. Xi effectively tipped the scales in favor of advocates of prioritizing self-sufficiency over cost as part of a broader push for self-reliance amidst trade tensions. As a result, China’s national oil companies (NOCs) are accelerating investment in domestic exploration and production. While this ramp-up in spending is likely to result in an increase in output, especially of natural gas, it is unlikely to alter China’s substantial and growing reliance on oil and natural gas imports. However, the trade war probably will continue to contribute to shifts in the composition of China’s import portfolio, with both traditional and new suppliers gaining shares as a result of the slowdown in the flows of US liquified natural gas (LNG) and crude oil to China and decreases in deliveries of Iranian and Venezuelan crudes due to US sanctions. Xi instructed China’s NOCs to ramp up domestic exploration and production of oil and natural gas to enhance national energy security in July 2018.

    China | Equity Strategy China 14 December 2014 EQUITY RESEARCH China The Year of the Ram: Stars Aligned for a Historic Bull Run Key Takeaway The Ram, the Bull and the Heavenly Twins – the stars are now aligned for China’s historic bull-run. China's stock market offers massive untapped potential given the high savings rate and low penetration. “Keeping Growth Steady” is a top priority for 2015; we expect SHCOMP and HSCEI to test 4,050 and 15,420, up 38% and 37% from current levels. As confidence gains momentum, volatility becomes the investors’ best friend. CHINA China Gallops into a Historic Bull Run. On Nov 20, 2013, we wrote “The Year of the Horse will see China unleash its full potential, as President Xi ushers in a new era of profound change.” “We expect capital markets to gradually gain confidence in China’s ability to drive fundamental reforms and expect Chinese stocks to enter a historic multi-year bull run.” Indeed, 2014 has been a remarkable year. As of Dec.12, SHCOMP surged 39% to 2938, breaking a seven-year bearish trend to become the best performing index in the world. China Stock Market: Massive Untapped Potential. According to China Household Finance Survey, property accounted for 66.4% of total Chinese household assets in 2013. Financial assets accounted for a mere 10.1% of household wealth. While over 61% of Chinese families have bank deposits, only 6.5% of them invested in the stock market. Given China’s high savings rate and low stock market penetration, we believe the A-share market offers significant upside potential.

  • China Vanke (A-1)
    9-314-104 REV: MAY 9, 2014 L Y N N S . P A I N E JOHN MACOMBER K E I T H C H I - H O W O N G China Vanke (A-1) For me, long term is five to ten years. For Wang Shi it’s way out there—beyond imagination. Twenty years ago when Vanke was still a very small company, he already had a very grand vision that I thought was impossible to achieve. Twelve years ago when I became the general manager, we were only a two billion RMB company. He was thinking what Vanke might look like if it's a 100 billion company. I couldn’t have imagined that we’d achieve that goal in less than 10 years. — Yu Liang, President, China Vanke China Vanke president Yu Liang surveyed the densely developed expanse of land below as his plane touched down in the southern city of Shenzhen in November 2011. Yu was eager to get back to the company’s headquarters in the suburbs of Shenzhen after several days on the road meeting with subsidiary heads, construction partners, and government officials across China. Under the leadership of its founder Wang Shi, China Vanke Co. Ltd. (Vanke) had grown from a small trading firm to China’s largest homebuilder, successfully navigating the tumultuous mix of volatile markets and ever-changing government policies that characterized China’s real estate market. For 2011, Vanke expected to sell some 10.7 million square meters of floor area, or more than 120,000 homes valued at over 120 billion RMB (about US $20 billion).1 Nonetheless, the year had been a slow one for the industry, as the central government introduced successive waves of austerity measures to bring down skyrocketing prices.
