The Vocational Education Law was passed at the 34th NPC meeting and will be enforced from 1 May 22. The law will serve as a near-term catalyst in improving investors’ sentiment towards the private higher education segment; however we do not foresee a meaningful earnings contribution given that vocational education typically charges lower tuition fees and provides lower margins as compared with the undergraduate segment. We maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector.
The sharp rebound in mid-March is likely to form at least an intermediate low. We expect further upside in April as reflationary policies kick in and investors’ concerns on the property sector and ADR listing status are also being progressively addressed. That said, equities could remain volatile as COVID-19 restrictions may still dampen investors’ sentiment in the near term. Add CEG, CIFI Holding and Ganfeng Lithium to our BUY list, with the latter benefitting from the global commodity price re...

Both CEG and Edvantage group are still struggling to recover from the heavy selldown in late-Jan 22, which was when we downgraded the sector. Although the companies had refuted investors’ concerns on prohibiting M&As, VIE, listing and raising tuition fees, key things to watch out for will be organic growth, and stats on private schools selecting for-profit or not-for-profit statuses. We maintain MARKET WEIGHT pending clearer updates on the selection of profit/non-profit status or clearer policy ...
China’s PHE sector has been hit hard by the recent rumours of potentially tighter regulatory risks ie prohibiting M&As, listing, and raising of tuition fees. It is still too early for us to comment given that the rumours contradicted the previous supportive tone when the Private School Promotion Law was published in May 21. We also see other risks in the sector, such as uncertainty in choosing profit/non-profit schools as well as an unfavourable M&A landscape. Downgrade to MARKETWEIGHT.

The Chinese equity market remained volatile in Dec 21 as surges of Omicron outbreaks clouded economic revival efforts amid regulators’ efforts to offer clarity on the policy front. Despite the setbacks, based on our expectations that peak regulatory risks have passed with most of the bad news already priced in, we expect the Chinese market to offer some bargains in 2022, supported by more favourable shifts in monetary policy.
While still facing a wall of worries, Chinese equities are expected to recover in 2022 on easing COVID-19 fears, peaking of regulatory risks and supportive macro policies. We see a potential upside of 17.9% for the MSCI China index by 2Q22 and expect EV, IT hardware, renewable energy and consumption-related names to outperform. Potential thawing of Sino-US relationship would also be positive for exporters, apparel, auto parts, electronics and appliances.
