[ET Net News Agency, 18 February 2019] Jefferies Research trimmed its target price for
China Resources Gas (CRG)(01193) to HK$44 from HK$45.25 and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house estimated 2H 2018 net income of HK$1.98Bn, an increase of 29% YoY,
mainly on strong gas volume, dollar margin recovery, and new connections release.
Jefferies expects higher than market consensus EPS for 2019/20, driven by city gas
sales. It trimmed its 2019 EPS estimate by 3% as a result of RMB depreciation and a
slowdown in new connections. (KL)
