Standard Chartered, in its latest research report, said it expects MAN WAH HLDGS (01999.HK)  -0.040 (-0.328%)    Short selling $6.54M; Ratio 24.731%   1H revenue growth may slow to 13% as the sales growth in the US and Europe slowed to mid-teens and single-digit, mainly reflecting the weakening property market in the US and adjustment in the UK orders. Nevertheless, because of the satisfactory cost control, the 1H core earning is expected to rise 12% yearly.
The Outperform investment rating is reiterated at Outperform, with target cut from $17 to $15

CLSA lowers Beijing Ent Water (00371) to HK$6   CLSA cut its target price for Beijing Enterprises Water (BEW)(00371) by 8% to HK$6, and reiterated its "buy" rating.   The research house said BEW's share price has dropped 14% in the last two trading days. First, the 2017 earnings results are below expectations. Second, management is guiding for 20-25% net profit growth for 2018, versus 30% in the past few years. Management now has a cautious approach to water PPP (public-private partnership) projects, which is not  necessarily bad.   CLSA cut its 2018-19 earnings forecasts by 19%. At the current level, it believes many  of the negatives are already priced-in.

]Daiwa lifts Anta Sports (02020) to HK$43.5   Daiwa Research lifted its target price for Anta Sports Products (02020) to HK$43.5 from HK$40, and reiterated its "buy" rating.   The research house said Anta's 2017 earnings growth of 29.4% YoY to CNY3.1bn was in line with Daiwa's expectations. However, its results were mixed, with government grants and FX gains offsetting weaker-than-expected margins.   Nevertheless, Daiwa remains confident in the company's multi-brand and omni-channel strategy. It raised its revenue assumptions for 2018-19 to account for the recent revenue growth momentum and inclusion of the group's new brands, but trimmed its gross and  operating margin estimates on higher raw material, A&P, staff and rental cost assumptions. In all, Daiwa trimmed 2018 earnings and raised its 2019 earnings by less than 1%.
