China Shipping and Ports: Weakening global trade outlook; The US east ...
The latest economic indicators pointed to a weakening global trade outlook, with both China and global manufacturing PMIs standing at sub-50 levels, and their new export order sub-indices sinking deeper in the contractionary territory. Ocean freight rate futures prices have rebounded lately amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, and the US East Coast port strike, though halted for now, remains a key uncertainty. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. BUY OOIL, CSP and CMP. CSH is downgraded to HOLD.

China Merchants Port (144 HK): 1H24: Core earnings a moderate beat; ho...
CMP’s 1H24 headline net profit rose 32.9% yoy, helped by a number of one-off gains. Excluding one-offs, core net profit of HK$3.52b (+8.8% yoy) was a moderate beat to our expectations, at 53.8% of our full-year forecast. We expect core earnings strength to continue into 2H24. CMP raised its 1H24 interim dividend to 25 HK cents. Given its healthy balance sheet and strong operating cash flow, we are hopeful that CMP may raise its dividend payout in 2024. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$15.21.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS Economics PMI The decline in manufacturing PMI steepened in August, falling to 49.1% (-0.3ppt mom), with all sub-indices lower except suppliers’ delivery time. Non-manufacturing PMI rose to 50.3% (+0.1ppt mom), aided by an improvement in new orders. Overall, the PMI report points to the further slowing of economic activities. The activity for enterprises of all sizes declined but large-sized enterprises remained the most robust compared to small- and medium-sized firms. Sect...

The latest economic indicators for global trade outlook weakened slightly, with both China and global manufacturing PMIs dipping mom and their new export order subindices below 50. Ocean freight rates have peaked, with freight rate futures prices having retreated in the past month amid the Gaza truce talks. Nevertheless, risk-reward for shipping companies is more favourable after the recent share price drops. Maintain MARTKET WEIGHT. OOIL and CSH (upgraded to BUY) offer FY24 yields of about 17%.

The latest economic indicators for global trade remain mixed with some negative tilt. With the unabated Red Sea attacks, ocean freight futures prices rose further in the past weeks, reflecting the market’s expectations that upbeat freight rates may extend into 1H25. In line with the updated futures price curve, we raise earnings forecasts for our container shipping coverage by over 40% in FY24 and over 100% in FY25 (from a low base). We upgrade OOIL to BUY on its better dividend prospect (FY24 y...

The latest economic indicators for global trade were still mixed but with some positive tilt. Driven by a tight capacity supply-demand balance, prices of Jun/Aug/Oct 24 futures contracts for Shanghai-Europe freight rose 24%/30%/24% from our last update, pointing to even stronger near-term earnings for container shipping. We deem the risk-reward of container shipping stocks largely balanced but think near-term market sentiments may stay strong. Upgrade OOIL to HOLD on raised earnings and dividend...

The latest economic indicators for China’s exports were still mixed, with China and global manufacturing PMIs staying above 50, but a weakened US consumer sentiment index. We think China’s potential removal of dividend tax on Hong Kong stocks bought via the Stock Connect will re-rate port stocks, but the risk-reward for shipping stocks is becoming less attractive after the recent strong share price performance. Downgrade CSH to HOLD and OOIL to SELL, and suggest switching to port plays CSP and C...

CMP’s 2023 net profit of HK$6.23b (-19.9% yoy) was broadly in line with our expectation at 97.5% of our forecast. The yoy decline was mainly driven by lower profit contribution from its JVs and associates, including its material associate SIPG, whose performance was in turn adversely affected by lower profit from its shipping investments. CMP’s valuation is attractive, trading at 6.6x/6.5x 2024F/25F PE with attractive yields of 6.8%/6.9%. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$14.80.

Economic indicators for China’s exports were still a mixed bag in Feb 24, but the external environment is gradually improving, in line with our forecast of a moderate rise in global trade by mid-24. Amid the Red Sea attacks, ocean freight rates have been gradually normalising since early-Feb 24 as shipping companies adapt to the situation. We downgrade OOIL to SELL and recommend switching to CSH for shipping exposure. Top picks: CSP for ports and CSH for container shipping. Maintain MARKET WEIGH...

Economic indicators for global trade demand were still largely weak in the most recent month, but we maintain our expectations for a moderate reacceleration of global trade by mid-24 driven by potential restocking needs in the US. The ongoing Red Sea crisis has driven a significant surge in spot ocean freight rates in recent weeks, which should bolster shipping players’ near-term earnings. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector. Top picks: CSP for ports and CSH for container shipping.

Recent economic indicators still point to a slow near-term trade outlook, but global trade could see a moderate reacceleration in 2024, as the US inventory destocking may come to an end, giving rise to restocking needs by mid-24. This could support Chinese ports’ throughput growth. For container shipping, overcapacity remains an overhang on freight rates in 2024, subduing container shipping players’ earnings outlook. We prefer ports (OVERWEIGHT) to container shipping (MARKET WEIGHT). Top pick: C...

Most recent economic indicators still indicate a cautious near-term outlook for global trade despite some signs of stabilisation. For container shipping, freight rates have retraced after a short-lived rebound between July and mid-August, implying earnings pressure for container shipping plays in 2H23. For ports, overall container volume of Chinese ports has been largely stable with low-to-mid single-digit growth ytd. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT given the sector’s cheap valuation. Top picks: CSP and ...

CMP’s 1H23 net profit of HK$3.35b (-30.5% yoy) was broadly in line with our expectations. The yoy decline was partly driven by lower profit contribution from its material associate SIPG, whose performance was adversely affected by non-port exposure including shipping investments and property sales. Despite the cautious outlook in the near term, CMP’s valuation appears attractive, trading at 7.3x 2024F PE and offering attractive yields of over 6%. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$13.33.

Leading economic indicators for global trade remain weak but we reckon that the weaknesses have been more than priced in by the cheap valuation of our port and container shipping coverage.

Recent economic indicators point to a subdued 2H23 global trade outlook. However, we think the global trade weakness is more than priced in by the cheap valuation of our port and container shipping coverage. CSH’s preliminary results guidance significantly beat our expectations, implying that container shipping players’ earnings may stabilise at levels better than our previous projections. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top picks: CSH (1919 HK/BUY/Target: HK$9.71) and CSP (1199 HK/BUY/Target: HK6.65).
