Goodbaby was added to Bocom's Top Ten basket. Photo: GoodbabyBocom: 2013 Top Picks Sport 20.6% ROIBocom International’s 2013 Top 10 Picks basket of Hong Kong-listed stocks has returned 20.6% since its launch on Dec 18, 2012.
This compares favorably with the Hang Seng Index which has recovered to positive territory with a 2.03% return over the same period, generating an outperformance of 1855 bps for Bocom’s basket.
“The basket’s cumulative return was driven by existing holdings such as SMIC (HK: 981; up 70% since inclusion) and Hengan (HK: 1044; up 32% since added), on top of legacy holdings like Kingsoft (HK: 3888; up 121%),” Bocom said.
The research house added to the basket Goodbaby (HK: 1086), Minsheng Bank (HK: 1988) and Baoxin (HK: 1293).
Key stocks that contributed incrementally since the last update on July 17, 2013 include Agile (HK: 3383; up 18.4%), Lenovo (HK: 992; up 14.0%) and Hengan (up 13.6%), which fared better than the Index (up 7.7% during the same timeframe).
“Added to our Top 10 list is Goodbaby, a market leader in strollers and children’s car seats.
“Given the favorable demographic patterns, potential policies to loosen the one-child limitation and mandate the use of children’s car seats, coupled with company-specific drivers to improve sales mix and pursue accretive acquisitions, we think the stock has yet to factor in these positives.”

“Ahead of the September economic data releases, we switch out of Sanjiang (HK: 2198) into Minsheng Bank (HK: 1988) which we expect to further its strengths in intermediary and small/micro businesses against a stabilized macroeconomic backdrop, followed by its recent formation of a strategic cooperation with Alibaba.
“In light of the valuation at around 4.6x 2014 P/E and 0.9x 2014E P/B, Mingsheng’s stock looks attractive with a dividend yield of 4.6%,” the research house added.
Bocom said it is also adding Baoxin, a luxury automobile dealership in China, on anticipation of better pricing trends, more store openings in 2H13, and margin expansion resulting from a) accelerating growth of after-sales services and b) improved operating efficiency as it continues to consolidate operations.
