Wasion Holdings [3393 HK; ADD; TP: HK$3.44] - 1H21 results affected by higher costs

2021.09.01

   Wasion reported its 1H21 results. Despite slower net profit growth, we think they were satisfactory results. 

   We adjusted our net profit forecasts for Wasion in 2021F–2023F, as we factored in higher operating expenses and minority interests, especially for R&D.

   We maintain our ADD rating with a lower target price of HK$3.44, based on 11x 2021F P/E (unchanged). The lower target price was mainly due to a cut in our net profit forecasts. We maintain our ADD rating partly because of Wasion’s dividend yield and the value of its stake in Willfar Info [688100.CH].  

   Wasion is one of the beneficiaries of recent polices on the Internet of Energy, energy storage, carbon emissions reduction goals and new infrastructure.
