UBS sees more synergy between Qatar and Cathay
Kingboard Chemical (00148) said it has agreed tosell 378.2m shares or 9.61% stake in Cathay
 Pacific (CX)(00293) to Qatar Airways (QR), for HK$5.16bn or HK$13.65/share, representing a
 3.4% premium to last closing and 1.2x our 2017 P/BV.

  UBS Global Research views the transaction as part of QR's strategy of investing in 
minority stakes in global airlines such as International Airlines Group (20%) and LATAM
Airlines Group (10%).
  As the transaction does not give QR a seat on CX's board, the research house expects 
little management influence by the former. However, UBS sees more potential synergy with 
QR than with Kingboard Chemical being a shareholder as QR is already collaborating with CX
together as members of the oneworld alliance.
  UBS added that the QR's acquisition could play down some speculations of Air China's 
(00753) acquisition of CX as previously reported by local press, which was a driver of 
CX's share price. At least, it becomes more complicated for one single shareholder to take
full control of CX.
  The research house maintained its "neutral" rating on CX, with a target price of HK$13.

Shanghai Pechem (00338.HK) Trading Sell Last price: HK$2.43 Resistance: HK$2.60 Support: HK$2.27/2.13 Shanghai Pechem closed lower at HK$2.43 in a long dark candle yesterday, short of the 0.38x retracement level at HK$2.41. Given that the Slow Stochastics has breached the previous low and the MACD is under the centreline, the stock is likely to test the 0.5x retracement level at HK$2.27. If the stock breaches this support, it will then test the 0.62x retracement level of HK$2.13. Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2 months   Wisdom Group (01661.HK) Trading Sell Last price: HK$5.47 Resistance: HK$5.65 Support: HK$5.22/4.96 Wisdom Group gapped down to re-enter the moving average envelope yesterday on strong volume.
