Mitsui Credit Global: Abundance Of Bargains In Chinese Stocks

Mitsui Credit Global: Patient investors have been encouraged by a slew of data promising exciting times for the Asian giant

It really should come as no surprise that we here at Mitsui Credit Global are quite enamored with China’s future economic prospects but for the last couple of years, we’ve been one of a few lone voices in the wilderness extoling the virtues of the central planners in Beijing and their aptitude for precision-guiding this colossus of 1.3 billion people to its current position as the world’s second largest economy.

There’s no doubt that certain aspects of the Chinese economy have tailed off as the euphoria-inducing effects of the $586 billion post-Lehman stimulus package have worn off but the real estate boom that continues apace in certain cities shows few signs of being derailed and consumer spending – part of the ruling communist party’s effort to rebalance their economy to reflect greater reliance upon domestic consumption – remains robust.

In September, retail sales jumped 13.2% while real urban disposable income rose just shy of 10%; its counterpart, rural disposal income, surged more than 12% in the first 9 months of the year.

Commodity imports remain buoyant with an 11% jump in imports of copper into China and a marked rebound in oil imports.

Stocks in China are historically cheap and even more so when measured against the inflated values of shares on global exchanges. Mitsui Credit Global research shows that Chinese shares have a forward P/E ratio under 9 times – compare that with averages on global exchanges of 12-13 times and it’s easy to see why now is a good time to take positions on Chinese stocks.
