CLP Holdings' China Earnings Expected to Improve in 2H -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-06

0904 GMT - CLP Holdings' China earnings are expected to improve in 2H, the DBS Group Research team writes in a note. The utility has completed planned major outages, which will mean higher nuclear power generation; it also added renewable capacity and signed more long-term power purchase agreements in China, they note. CLP will likely maintain its dividend payout of at least HK$3.10, translating to decent yield of about 4.5%, they add. DBS upgrades its rating on the stock to buy from hold and revises up its target price to HK$74.60 from HK$66.00, as investors will likely have a stronger appetite for stocks with decent yields given rising U.S. recession worries. Shares closed at HK$67.45. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
