The Power That You Want In Times of Uncertainty

Today I will recommend you three electricity power houses: HuaDian Power 華電國際 (1071), HuaNeng Power 華能國際 (902) and DaTang Power 大唐發電(991. All have been giving solid and consistent dividends for the past four years, with an average yield of 10% today. All have very low forward p/e, at 4.8x, 5.3x and 6.6x respectively. All have very low forward p/b, at 0.66x, 0.74x and 0.48x respectively. They are H-shares and all are substantially cheaper than their A-shares counterparts listed in Shanghai Stock Exchange. Their A/H premiums are at 60%, 68% and 130% respectively.


The prices closed at the end of 25 May 2016 at HK$3.83, HK$5.03 and HK$2.00 respectively. All have been hovering at their respective nadirs and waiting for the ever-mysterious time for a breakout. And I think now is about the time for the exacting breakouts to take place due to the following reasons:

(1) They are defensive stocks whereby all people have to use electricity be it good times or bad times.

(2) The prices have dropped by 25%, 25% and 15% respectively from the beginning of 2016 and value investors would want to get the solid dividends as the ex-dividend date are drawing near.

(3) During times of uncertainty, these stocks with steady and high dividends are the best bet. Their dividends are payable only once a year, so you stand to get on average 10% returns within a short time.

(4) The charts have all shown that the turning points are around the corner.

(5) These three companies operate in an oligopoly environment, where barriers of entry are relatively high.
