南下资金再跨香江!AH两地上市个股“成色”如何?

Capital from the south will cross the Hong Kong River again! What is the “success” of the individual stocks listed in AH and AH?

cls.cn ·  Apr 29 09:32

Recently, the Hong Kong stock market has ushered in a new round of rebound. Due to multiple factors such as new southbound regulations and mitigation of international geopolitical risks, and a recovery in foreign Chinese asset sentiment, last week$Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$It surged 8.8%, and the point level hit a new high during the year. Southbound capital continues to cross the Hong Kong River. Since March 26, southbound capital has continued to flow into the Hong Kong stock market for 5 consecutive weeks.

According to the opinion of Shenwan Hongyuan Securities, it is currently an opportunity for assets to spill over to Hong Kong stocks, adding that the main battleground for capital going south to compete for pricing power is AH shares and high dividends.

Currently, there are a total of 149 individual stocks listed simultaneously on both A-share investors. For A-share investors, there is still a certain “threshold” for arranging Hong Kong stocks (through cross-border ETFs, opening Hong Kong Stock Connect transactions, etc.), but since A shares and H shares have the same rights, the details of their performance and AH premium rate are still receiving a lot of attention.

The individual stock with the highest premium rate for AH shares: Hongye Futures

Since this year,$Hang Seng Stock Connect China AH Premium Index (800911.HK)$The (HSAHP) pricing center is around 150. Since last week, under the influence of multiple factors, Hong Kong stocks in the allocation range have recovered to a certain extent from an absolute and relative valuation perspective, and HSAHP has also been restored to the 146-147 line. Huatai Securities said that the double pressure of real estate and revisions to overseas interest rate cut expectations in the first quarter may have been reflected in Hong Kong stock pricing.

Judging from HSAHP's historical performance, the AH premium is still high recently (Hong Kong stocks are cheaper than A shares). The Hang Seng Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Exchange AH Premium Index continued to decline this week, but there are still some individual stocks with premium rates exceeding 500%.

Currently, the listed company with the highest premium rate for AH shares is Hongye Futures. In 2023, Hongye Futures increased revenue by 27%, but net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies decreased by 37% from the previous year to 7.7915 million yuan. It is lower among futures companies in the same class. Furthermore, on April 10, Hongye Futures announced that shareholder Hongsu Industrial recently passively reduced the company's shares by more than 1% through centralized bidding transactions and bulk transactions due to judicial enforcement. However, according to the latest futures company asset management report released by the Mid-term Association, the scale of Hongye Futures products is rising rapidly.

In the first quarter of 2024,$Zhejiang Shibao (002703.SZ)$Net profit reached RMB 21.7793 million, up 140.12% year on year. After the release of the first quarterly report, its A-share price rose 3% on April 26.

Among the individual stocks listed in AH and AH, the company with the highest net profit growth due to the mother in 2023 is a large comprehensive energy enterprise$HUADIAN POWER (01071.HK)$Benefiting from lower fuel prices and the commissioning of new projects, etc., its net profit to the mother increased by 3789.00% year-on-year in 2023. On April 26, Huadian International released its 2024 quarterly report. Net profit attributable to mother was 1,862 billion yuan, an increase of 64.21% over the previous year. According to China Merchants Securities, coal prices were high in the first half of last year. With coal prices expected to remain low, there is still room for improvement in Huadian International's performance in the first half of 2024.

There are also AH listed companies that have also benefited from significant improvements in coal and electricity profits$DATANG POWER (00991.HK)$In 2023, it achieved net profit of 1,365 billion yuan to mother, turning a year-on-year loss into a profit. Tianfeng Securities anticipates that its clean energy transition is expected to accelerate in 2024.

AH listed companies with the highest proportion of H shares in total shares:$China Construction Bank Corporation (601939.SH)$

Currently, the two listed companies with H shares accounting for more than 90% of the total share capital are China Construction Bank,$CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK)$versus$CNOOC (00883.HK)$They are all central state-owned enterprises with a total market capitalization of over trillion dollars. The distribution of central state-owned enterprises listed in AH is similar to that of central state-owned enterprises listed in one place, including energy, telecommunications, capital goods, finance, insurance, etc.

Listed companies with H shares between 50% and 90% of total share capital$INNOCARE (09969.HK)$,$HUA HONG SEMI (01347.HK)$,$SMIC (00981.HK)$,$CIMC (02039.HK)$,$CANSINOBIO (06185.HK)$. It is worth noting that most of the above standard valuations (PE-TTM) have been high in the past three years.

High dividend allocation, A shares or Hong Kong stocks?

Recently, the market tends to have a deterministic layout, with central and state-owned enterprises focusing on high-dividend dividend assets. Since A shares and H shares have the same rights, high-dividend assets listed in both places are also receiving attention.

Market dividend reform since 2018, A-shares since 2019$SSE Dividend Index (000015.SH)$The long-term return is superior to Hong Kong stocks, and the volatility is lower; in contrast, the dividend ratio of Hong Kong stock assets is higher. The phased flexibility of the high dividend index is superior to A shares in the early stages of the reversal of Hong Kong stocks, and the long-term average return of companies with medium (not the highest) high dividend ratio is superior. Looking forward to the future, as the new “National Nine Rules” drive the transformation of the domestic capital market more into an investment market, subsequent incremental policies on medium- to long-term capital entry and enhancing the internal stability of the market can still be expected, and dividend strategies are expected to spread further. The characteristic earnings advantages of A-shares compared to Hong Kong stocks are expected to continue. In the context of dividend system reform, it is recommended to focus on sectors with superior dividend levels (banks/petrochemicals/coal, etc.) and enterprise sectors (resources/exports, etc.) where dividends or profits have room for improvement. In contrast, Hong Kong stocks are more attractive to insurance funds that value high dividends and preferential tax holdings for a long time. Investment suggestions prefer individual stocks based on expectations of dividends and valuation growth.
