News & Insights #24
China from "Un-investable" to "Buy EVERYTHING" *** Four portfolio additions *** A roll-up story for 6x earnings *** Kazakhstan fights back against short-seller **** HK investing strategy *** And more
Intro
It was an eventful week, with lots of news and excitement. In the midst of that, I introduced four new HK growth stock additions for the HK (sub-)portfolio, 👉 here and👉 here. That will soon be followed-up with more details on the two MedTech names.
On average the four growth stocks hold roughly one-third of their market cap in net financial assets value (mostly cash), and trade at low- to high-teens estimated earnings for 2025. All four companies have been increasing capital returns to shareholders. Three of these stocks still trade very close to multi-year lows. Their market caps range from about USD 500m to well over USD 10bn.
Besides the usual News & Insights, this edition includes my updated thoughts on my investment strategy for the HK (sub-)portfolio.
