[ET Net News Agency, 22 March 2021] Goldman Sachs lifted its target price for CK
Hutchison Holdings (00001) to HK$87 from HK$82 and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house said CKH's FY2020 results presented no major surprise. Among all, AS
Watson saw the biggest turnaround with EBITDA up 12% in 2H (versus -43% in 1H) led by
Western Europe (+16%) where more people stayed at home and made purchases of daily
necessities.
After updating for the latest FX and incorporating the Husky/Cenovus merger, Goldman
revised its FY2021-22 EPS forecasts for CKH by 0-1%.
Goldman said the stock's valuation still looks attractive, trading at 5.9x FY2021 P/E
(excluding exceptionals), 54% NAV discount, and 5% dividend yield. (KL)
