Legend chief waves off slight loss in slide by Jennifer Li

Investors in Legend Holdings (3396) suffered a mere HK$3 paper loss per board lot of 100 shares on its trading debut even as stock markets around the world, including Hong Kong, tumbled yesterday.

Legend Holdings, the parent of the world's largest PC maker Lenovo Group (0992), ended 0.07 percent, or three HK cents, lower at HK$42.95, as jitters over a possible Greece exit of the euro zone battered sentiment.

Lenovo Group, of which Legend holds 30.6 percent, slumped 5.67 percent, becoming the worst-performing blue chip of the day.

"Our stock may see ups and downs but we don't care much about that," said Legend chairman Liu Chuanzhi during the listing ceremony yesterday. "What we care about is to make our future revenue and profit worthy of the long-term investors."

Legend shares hit an intraday high of HK$43.55 and a bottom of HK$42.85, generating a total trading volume of HK$2.7 billion. Liu, who hit the gong for the second time after the listing of Lenovo in 1994, said he chose Hong Kong again because it was a well- regulated and transparent market and he expects Legend's long-term profit growth to push up the value of the shares.

Chief executive Zhu Linan said the consumption and services industry remains promising despite China's economic slowdown.

"We believe there are many investment opportunities following the relaxation of policies," he said.

On market rumors that tycoon Li Ka-shing, Tencent Holdings (0700) chairman Pony Ma Huateng and Alibaba Group chairman Jack Ma Yun also subscribed to shares, Liu said he has heard the rumor but is unable to confirm the fact.

Legend raised HK$14.6 billion through the initial public offering, the third highest in the SAR this year.

Legend shares flat on Hong Kong debut, considers A-share listing

Legend Holdings, the parent of the world's largest PC maker Lenovo Group, ended 0.07%, or three HK cents, lower at HK$42.95 (US$5.54) on its Hong Kong trading debut on June 29.

"Our stock may see ups and downs but we don't care much about that," said Legend chairman Liu Chuanzhi during a press conference that day.

He added what he cares about is the long-term performance of the company's shares, according to a report on the Caixin website.

Legend would not rule out the possibility of listing on China's A-share market but details about the listing will require further studies, Liu said, adding that in the long run, he believes the mainland stock market will continue to rise.

Liu also expressed an expectation of reforms in the Chinese capital market. Due to the gambling mindset of individual investors, a stock market bubble has been forming since the beginning of this year, he said.

The market will get into a normal growth path in the long term after more investors become more rational once a registration system and more transparent supervisory regulations have been introduced, he said.

Liu added that he chose Hong Kong again after the listing of Lenovo in 1994 because it was a well-regulated and transparent market and he expects Legend's long-term profit growth to push up the value of the shares.

Chief executive Zhu Linan said given that the Hong Kong stock market closed nearly 700 points lower, Legend's performance was not bad compared with the overall market. Zhu said he is confident about the performance of the company's shares either in the short term or long term.

The group's valuation was HK$9 billion (US$1.16 billion) when Lenovo was first listed in 1994 and has since increased 130 fold to the current HK$120 billion (US$154.8 billion).

In 2014, Lenovo has risen to become the world's largest personal computer vendor by unit sales after it acquired IBM's PC business in 2005.

<Research Report>M Stanley Initiates LEGEND HOLDING at Equalweight with Target Price of $37

Morgan Stanley initiated LEGENDHOLDING (03396.HK) at Equalweight with a target price of $37, which implies a 2016 P/B of 1.3x and a discount to NAV of 15%, compared with a 20-30% target discount to NAV the broker uses in valuing other China conglomerate stocks.

The broker appreciated the company's strong management team and good track record of financial investments. However, it is believed that there will be only limited upside after reflecting the negative impact of recent market volatility.

The broker mentioned that LEGEND HOLDING is an investment group in China, which had a strong record in building leading companies.

Its investments involve IT, financial services, modern services, agriculture and food, real estate, and chemical and energy materials.

Its notable portfolio companies include LENOVO GROUP (00992.HK) and CAR INC (00699.HK).

Goldman Sachs, in its report, stated that LEGENDHOLDING(03396.HK) has proven its managerial ability in the successful cases of LENOVO GROUP (00992.HK) and CAR INC (00699.HK). Its cash return on capital invested amounted to 14% to 17% in 2012 to 2014, higher than its peers.

Legend soars despite profit plunge at core unit

Conglomerate Legend Holdings (3396) released its first interim results since listing in June by reporting a 209 percent leap in profit to 4.02 billion yuan (HK$4.86 billion), boosted by returns from property investment.

But it did not propose any dividend for the first half.

With businesses in IT, financial services, modern services, agriculture and food, property, chemicals and energy, the investment company saw profit at its core IT endeavor run under its flagship unit Lenovo fall 45 percent to 1.29 billion yuan from the first half of last year.

Lenovo's share of the global smartphone market shrank by 0.5 percent to 4.7 percent due to flagging demand, stiff competition from cheap domestic brands and tough South American markets.

Growth was fueled instead by the property segment.

Legend pocketed a one-off 1.59 billion yuan payment by completing and delivering a high- end multifunctional tech center, bolstering profit at its property arm by a staggering 1,941 percent to 1.73 billion yuan.

The stock soared 10.6 percent to HK$30.80.
