Battleground Spot For Global Equities Last week we highlighted what appeared to be rising wedge breakdowns in the MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EM, and EAFE indexes, and suggested some consolidation made sense as we get a feel for how the process of re-opening the economy is going. It ended up being a very brief consolidation period and all horizontal support levels held strong. With all the aforementioned indexes breaking above the resistance levels that we highlighted last week, it tells us momentum...
Global Rally Losing Upside Momentum The global rally appears to be losing steam as the bearish rising wedge patterns we highlighted last week in the MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EM, and EAFE indexes ended up breaking down. Additionally, the aforementioned indexes and major indexes in Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong have been unable to break above longer-term resistance. While we believe global equities remain vulnerable to a pullback, some near-term consolidation is another possibility. For now we belie...
As operating costs continue to rise and the offline retail sector faces ongoing challenges from the e-commerce sector, one of no-moat Sun Art’s hypermarket competitors, Carrefour, made the headlines after selling 80% of its Carrefour China business. We see this strategy as a small threat to Sun Art, given the latter is backed by the much larger Internet giant Alibaba and the transformation of Sun Art has been progressing well. According to online media, after Taoxianda launched in Sun Art’s ...

Sun Art Retail is the leading hypermarket operator in China with the highest market share of 15.7% in 2018. However, Sun Art has been facing headwinds, including intensifying competition from e-commerce and existing offline players and the emergence of new retailing formats. Sun Art’s same store sales growth excluding electronic appliances decreased from negative 0.26% in 2017 to negative 1.72% 2018. Sun Art has ambitious plans to revert the declining trend. To be a leader in all categories, S...
We maintain our fair value estimate for Sun Art even though full-year results missed our expectations. Sales and net income were respectively 5% and 4% lower than our forecasts. Management’s business plans give us more confidence in our assumption of a recovery in top-line growth and margin expansion. 2019 will be the year of acceleration of new retail initiatives and increased investment after laying the foundation in 2018. 2020 will be the year in which Sun Art will start to reap the benefit...

We have increased the fair value estimate of Sun Art Retail to HKD 8.0 per share from HKD 7.8 per share purely on time value of money. After being overvalued for most of 2018, the recent share price decline now leaves the shares fairly valued, in our view. We forecast operating income to begin to accelerate in 2019 to 7% on benefits from its cooperation with Alibaba. We expect average operating income growth of 11% over our five-year forecast period due mainly to Alibaba, compared with a 3% per ...

We maintain our HKD 7.80 fair value estimate for no-moat Sun Art and believe the shares are fairly valued at the moment. We continue to see progress resulting from Sun Art’s partnership with Alibaba and do not expect a major financial uplift this year. We expect revenue growth to accelerate to midsingle digits starting next year with a five-year revenue compound annual growth rate of 5% while net income should see a high-single-digit increase starting next year with a five-year net income CAGR...

Sun Art’s first-half result was below our expectations on a run-rate basis, with both revenue and underlying operating profit broadly flat. Reported operating profit fell 7.7%, but the previous period included revenue from aged unutilized prepaid phone cards, which had accrued over several years, whereas this half-year included only the usual six months of this revenue. Revenue from food and fast-moving consumer goods, or FMCG, increased while electronic appliances was down. Sun Art has entere...
Sun Art Retail is one of the leading hypermarket operators in China, and has the highest profit margin in the hypermarket sector due to its economies of scale and well-controlled operating cost. However, in recent years, Sun Art has been facing headwinds, including aggressive expansion of e-commerce players, intensifying competition among existing offline players, and the emergence of new retailing formats.In the medium to long term, we think China’s retail competitive landscape will remain ch...
One hundred RT-Mart hypermarkets operated by Sun Art Retail Group have completed a new retail transformation developed by Alibaba, covering 10 million households in first- to fourth-tier cities. Sun Art management indicated that overall efficiency of these stores has improved by 15%. The Shanghai Zhabei store, the first one to complete the transformation in March, has seen a 30% improvement in sales per square feet. We reiterate management’s guidance that there will not be a substantial increa...

The biggest takeaway from no-moat Sun Art Retail's earnings presentation is that management does not expect a substantial increase in profits from the collaboration with Alibaba in new retail in the next three years. Management guided to a dividend payout ratio range of 30%-40%, a cut from over 70% in 2016 and 44% in 2017 as the group needs to reserve cash for new retail, online-to-offline investments. Capital expenditure is expected to double to CNY 4 billion in 2018 for new retail investments...
