Our thesis on Hong Kong Electric Investment is unchanged after its fiscal 2019 result. We continue to expect the narrow moat rated utility to generate steady increase in distribution in the medium term. As previously noted, fiscal 2019 distribution will decline as the new Scheme of Control, or SoC, kicks in, which offers a lower rate of return of 8%, relative to 10% under the old SoC. While the calculation of the rate of return was not disclosed, we attribute the reduced return to lower cost of ...

Hong Kong Electric Investments is one of two vertically integrated electricity suppliers in Hong Kong and the sole provider of electricity to the island. Its peer CLP provides electricity to Kowloon, New Territories, and Outer Islands. We like the consistent, favorable regulatory regime in Hong Kong, allowing Hong Kong Electric Investments to earn reasonable returns and underpin its steady distribution payout. The new Scheme of Control governing the framework for the government's review of utili...
Despite a decline of 8% in HK Electric Investments' unit price from a peak of HKD 8.20 in July this year, we continue to see the utility trust as overvalued against our unchanged fair value of HKD 5.50. The trust has outperformed the Hang Seng Index with investors staying defensive amid market volatility and concerns over Chinese and U.S. trade relations. We expect this to be the case for the remainder of the year if uncertainty in the market persists. Our narrow economic moat rating on the trus...

Hong Kong Electric Investment's, or HKEI's, first-half distribution per unit of HKD 0.1992 was in line with our expectations, and we maintain our full year forecast of HKD 0.40 per unit for the full year. The utility continues to perform as expected, with more favourable weather conditions resulting in a 2.1% increase in electricity sales. Our fair value of HKD 5.50 is unchanged and represents a fair distribution yield of 6% in 2019. This accounts for a decline in the rate of return to 8% from 9...

We believe the approval of the latest development plan by the executive council of the Hong Kong government is a positive for electricity utilities CLP and Hong Kong Electric Investment, or HKEI. The development plan covers upcoming capital investments for the two utilities between Oct. 1, 2018, and Dec. 31, 2023, and allows the two operators to achieve several initiatives, including reducing carbon emissions and securing natural gas supply through the construction of an offshore liquefied natur...
In their annual tariff reviews, both electricity operators CLP Holdings and HK Electric Investments, or HKEI, will increase average net tariffs by 1.9% in 2018 to HKD 1.154 per kilowatt hours and HKD 1.125 per kilowatt hours, respectively. The increase was largely in line with our expectations and reflects the electricity operators’ focus in maintaining slight increases in electricity tariffs, conscious of the scrutiny attracted by a rapid increase in electricity prices for households. Our nar...
