HSBC raises CR Power (00836) to HK$18
|
HSBC Global Research raised its target price for China Resources Power (CRP) (00836) to HK$18 from HK$17, and maintained its "buy" rating. The research house noted CRP's recurring earnings were HK$5.8bn (-34% YoY), mainly caused by high unit fuel cost (+37%), but outperforming peer-IPP Huaneng Power (00902), which reported profit down 88% YoY. HSBC expects CRP's earnings to recover underpinned by falling coal prices and supportive utilisation. The entrance into retail power sales, energy efficiency solutions and distributed energy projects should diversify its earnings risk and provide new growth catalysts. It believes that the stock offers good value at a 2018e PB of 0.8x with the ROE improving to 9.6% by 2019e. |
