UBS: China bears dare not sell, bulls dare not buy
For overseas clients, UBS found during a roadshow that the biggest concern is who will eventually determine China’s economic policies, and what their policy targets are.
“For now, unpredictable policy is the largest risk for the A-share market, so the most common responses we heard from overseas investors were ‘we will wait and see’, ‘we do not touch A-shares’, and ‘we have no intention to trade’ and we discovered that bears dare not sell, and bulls dare not buy,” UBS said.
Investors hope the Chinese government will clarify its policy on four critical aspects:
1) what is the bottom line for GDP growth? 2) what is the government’s attitude toward real estate financing? 3) what are the government’s expectations for the RMB in the context of an economic slowdown and higher risks in the financial system; 4) will the government cut the reserve requirement ratio or interest rate to ease downside pressure on the economy, or will the government aim for a gentle ‘hard landing’.
UBS is adding China Eastern Airlines (SHA: 600115; HK: 670) to its Least Preferred list as it believes business passenger traffic will remain in the doldrums, and tourism in July-August is unlikely to drive its main business profit out of a difficult situation.
“We add Chalco (SHA: 601600; HK: 2600) to the Least Preferred list as we think given the possible exit of QE and the sluggish economic situation in emerging countries, commodity prices will continue to face downward pressure.“As we upgrade Guangxi Liugong (SZA: 000528)from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Buy’, we remove it from our Least Preferred list.”
UBS said its Most Preferred list now includes China Construction Bank (SHA: 601939; HK: 939), China Vanke (SZA: 000002), Yibai Pharmaceutical (SHA: 600594), Gree Electrical (SZA: 000651), Mongolia Yili Industrial (SHA: 600887), China Yangtze Power (SHA: 600900), and Kweichow Moutai (SHA: 600519).
“Our Least Preferred stocks are Yanzhou Coal (SHA: 600188; HK: 1171), Xinhu Zhongbao (SHA: 600208), and Maanshan Iron & Steel (SHA: 600808; HK: 323), China Eastern Airlines, and Chalco.”
