China Education Group (839.HK)Favourable policies revive the valuation February 21, 2019 434

PSR Recommendation: ACCUMULATE Status: Upgraded
Target Price: HKDHKD13.44

Investment Summary

China Education Group has engaged in higher and vocational education. We believe “Implementation Plan of Reforms on National Vocational Education” that the State Council of PRC published makes the development of vocational education more certain, and alleviates the concern on the Law on the Promotion of Private Education, enhancing the valuation. Based on the net profit attributable to owners in 2019, we assume a P/E ratio of 30x (the average of the past), deriving a target price of HK$13.44. We downgrade the rating to “Accumulate” in reflection of the recent uptrend in stock price, with a potential upside of 7.52%. (Closing price at 19 Feb 2019)
