[ET Net News Agency, 29 April 2020] Credit Suisse lowered its target price for China
Gas Holdings (CGH)(00384) to HK$40 from HK$43 and maintained its "outperform" rating.
The research house noted that CGH has rallied 19% over the past two trading days, mainly
driven by the improved sentiment after the grant of management & employee share options.
Credit Suisse expects most of the COVID-19 impact to be reflected in CGH's FY2020
results, while earnings growth should re-accelerate to >20% in FY2021 (versus 14% in
FY2020 per Credit Suisse's estimate). It cut its FY2020-22 EPS forecasts by 8-9% mainly to
reflect slower project development due to COVID-19. (KL)
