Stabilization in growth



Factors supporting aggregate demand
–
Fiscal expansion
–
Targeted credit policy
–
Property market warms up
Economic growth to stabilize at around 7.5%
–
7.6% for 2013, 7.6% for 2014
–
Upside risks
Inflation to remain mild
–
CPI：2.7% for 2013, 3.1% for 2014
9
Priorities in structural reforms

Opening up: China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone

Reduce monopoly and promote competition

Tax and fiscal reforms

Interest rate liberalization and opening of the capital account

New urbanization and land reform

Relax family planning policy
10
A-share Strategy: key points

A-share market likely to deliver 20% annual return in 2014.

Macro: 2014 will be different from previous years as:
–
Investors have downgraded expectations for the Chinese economy;
–
A new round of reforms is likely to improve economic potential, balance and quality; and
–
The synchronized recovery of major global economies is likely to last into 2014, boding well for the
Chinese economy.

Earnings: we expect A-share earnings to grow 15.2% 2014 ( top-down);

Valuation & Liquidity: CSI300 valuation at historical low in terms of PE/PB, Small-mid caps’ valuation
at historical high; growth recovery has supported some moderate valuation expansion in large cap index.
Real reforms will arouse revaluation of China.

Sectors:
We suggested buying three types of sectors towards the end of 2013: 1) Real estate, building materials
and steel; 2) Mass consumer goods such as home appliances, foods and beverages; 3) Securities firms
and insurance companies;
Investors should also keep a close eye on the rail, shipping, airline, healthcare and media sectors.
Meanwhile, we remain bearish on base materials (e.g. coal and non-ferrous metals) and sectors with
stretched valuations and a gloomy outlook (e.g. electronic components).

1) Supply growth in 2014 is likely to be slower than that in 2013. The industry does not
face additional challenge from high speed railway. 2) Continued QE relieves the downward
pressure on renminbi and oil price is unlikely to rise in the future. 3) Valuation is at
historical low and gloomy outlook has been priced in.

1) Coastal coal and international oil freight rates increased recently; 2) Capacity utilization
rates in dry bulk and tanker markets will reach inflection points in 2014, and BDI has found
effective support at 1500 points. Most shipping companies will likely turn profitable in 2014.
3) Sector valuation is at historical low; 4) Whether capacity utilization rate in the container
market will reach an inflection point in 2014 depends on whether demand exceeds supply.

To solve the serious overcapacity problem in aluminum industry, the government will
strictly control new projects, shut down technologically obsolete plants and encourage
M&As and restructuring.
Machinery
The high speed rail sector has turned around. Shipping and marine engineering will likely
rebound from the bottom. Having declined for two consecutive years, global shipbuilding
orders tend to rebounded significantly in 2013. The new shipbuilding orders over JanuarySeptember rose 98.8% YoY. Given the strong purchase intention in shipbuilding, we
expect the recovery in order volume to continue over the next 6-12 months at least.

Tightened capacity control improves demand-supply balance in southern and eastern
China. Steady bottom line growth and reduced downside risks help raise long-term
valuation.

Baoshan Iron & Steel Co.,Ltd.
Baoshan Iron and Steel sold loss-making assets in 2012. Its full-year net profit (excluding
nonrecurring items) is likely to grow YoY. Steel industry valuation is cheap and
stockholding by mutual funds is low.

Freight rates reform is imminent. An increase of Rmb0.015~0.025 in freight rate in 2014
implies EPS of Rmb1.13~1.37 for Daqin Railway.

H-share Strategy: key points

~20% H-share upside in 2014
The H-share market has lost 2% YTD, lagging behind global peers. We expect the HSCEI to rise ~20% to
12,500 by end-2014, with a ~13% contribution from earnings revisions and a ~7% boost from valuation
expanding to 9.5x 12-month forward P/E

Macro: Reforms to improve growth quality
We believe domestic growth will stabilize and downside risk is relatively limited. Our economists expect GDP
growth is 7.6% in 2014, with a higher contribution from consumption . The expediting of reforms would enhance
growth quality and raise medium- to longer-term growth potential

Earnings: Growth recovery to extend
We forecast H-share earnings to grow 14% in 2013 and accelerate to 15% in 2014. Non-financial earnings
could grow 16% in 2014 thanks to higher top-line and a small expansion in profit margin; and financials are to
deliver ~13% growth.

Valuation: ERP normalization to re-rate market
Current valuations of appear subdued relative to the historical range and global peers. We expect stabilizing
domestic growth, mounting reform dividends and potential global tailwinds to help reduce H-share equity risk
premium and prompt a moderate valuation expansion.

Implementation: Sector preference and top-picks
Focus on growth visibility and reform beneficiaries, and overweight select financials (real estate and brokers),
select infrastructure (construction and city utilities), and select consumption (internet/software, healthcare, auto
and home appliance); underweight telecom, coal, retail, apparel/textile and power. Continue to recommend our
thematic baskets of new urbanization and environmental protection.

Risks
For China, we watch financial system risks, cyclical growth momentum, reform execution etc.; from overseas,
key issues include US fiscal impasse and Fed’s policy.

2014 earnings to grow 15% on higher sales and
profit margin



Non-financial and financials earnings would growth 16% and 13% in 2014 respectively
Non-financial top-line sales growth to expand thanks to higher 2014 nominal GDP growth estimated by our
economists
Two drivers to potentially nudge-up non-financials profit margins in 2014: 1) subdued domestic commodity
prices and a more valuable Rmb; and 2) better operating efficiency
We are looking for 15% earnings growth in 2014, thanks to ~16% growth in non-financials and ~13% growth for financial
companies

ERP reduction to unlock value and induce
valuation normalization


Improving cyclical momentum and mounting reform dividends, as well as a potential global ERP reduction, to
somewhat alleviate concerns about medium-/long-term growth
We expect ERP to narrow 0.5ppt from the current 7% to 6.5% by end-2014
Based on our 3-stage DDM and assuming China’s 10-year government bond yield is 4.3% at end-2014, the
corresponding end-2014 target 12-month forward P/E is ~9.5x, implying a 7% expansion
MSCI China has returned 20.5% since June 25, with a forward
P/E expansion of 16.8% and forward EPS upgrade of 3.3%

Focus growth visibility & reform beneficiaries

We continue to focus on growth visibility and reform beneficiaries in our sector picks. We suggest
overweighting real estate and brokers, construction and city utilities and internet/software, healthcare, autos,
home appliances, and underweighting telecoms, coal, retail, apparel/textiles, chemicals and power
