0821 GMT - Cnooc's H shares remain undervalued and offer a 2026 dividend yield above 6%, Morningstar's Chokwai Lee says in a note. The Chinese oil and gas producer recorded strong results for the first nine months of the year, supported by high oil prices, while its expansion strategy remains intact with a disciplined approach to overseas growth, Lee says. Net production was in line with expectations, and Cnooc remains cost competitive, Lee adds. Supply disruptions to energy is expected to continue into 2027, supporting elevated oil and gas prices in the near term, Lee says. Morningstar retains its fair-value estimate for A shares at 28.00 yuan but raises it to HK$33.00 from HK$32.00 for H shares, reflecting the Chinese yuan's appreciation. The H shares close at HK$24.52.
