China International Capital (3908 HK): <Earnings first take> 1H results below expectation due to weaker-than-expected growth [BUY, TP HK$25.00]
Dragged by 38% y-o-y decline in investment income, 1H earnings was down by 23% y-o-y to reach Rmb3,842mn, representing 35% of our/cons. FY22F net profit
The tumbling investment income was mainly due to decline in market value of equities subscribed under the following-investment mechanism on STAR market IPO deals
While the slump in investment income was the expected earnings drag, investment banking and asset management also did not perform as expected
Yet, we believe the market has largely priced in the relatively weak earnings in 1H, as CICC was the worst share-price performer this year among the six brokers under our coverage with YTD decline by 33% (Average: 25%)
We currently have BUY rating with TP at HK$25, and will provide more updates after attending analyst call tomorrow.
