Utilities have been great stocks to hold in this environment. Well positioned in Hong Kong but hard for them to gain any traction in China. A defensive holding to hang onto. As things start to improve and stabilize you will have better prospects elsewhere. Yield of about 4%.
Strong balance sheet, dividend and visible growth trajectory. Will benefit with then convert coal fired generation to natural gas in Hong Kong and get 9.9% return on net assets. 50/50 investors in two large nuclear generation facilities plus have existing nuclear generation assets in China. A sweet spot in the utility industry. Have a wholly owned Australian utility and believes it will be spun out by year-end. Stock price does not reflect this asset at present.
Utility primarily in Hong Kong, but it’s cheaper than Canadian power companies. Regulated business but regulators are reasonably favourable. Growth in the stock and reasonable dividend. ADR in New York.
Trades in Hong Kong. Very attractive dividend yield of 4%. Currently benefiting from a substantial upgrade on their Hong Kong power generating assets, converting them from coal to natural gas. Longer-term they have very good expansion projects on mainland China and India.
(A Top Pick April 24/12. Up 7.41%.)Have had a really tough year. A part Asian diversified utility. Hopefully, their problems are over and the stock will continue to do well in the next couple of years.
