Is Shenzhen International Holdings (SEHK:152) Undervalued After Its RMB 1b Note Issuance?

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Shenzhen International Holdings (SEHK:152) has completed a fresh RMB 1,000 million medium term note issuance at a 2.07% coupon and 10 year maturity, giving investors new information on its long term funding mix.

Set against that new funding, Shenzhen International Holdings’ share price has been choppy. The stock is up 5.06% on a 1 month share price return but down 38.50% on a year to date share price return, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 30.17% contrasts with a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 30.64%. This suggests that recent momentum has faded after a stronger multi year period.

Capitalize on the renewed focus on Shenzhen International Holdings’ funding profile by reviewing hand-picked infrastructure and logistics players with resilient balance sheets in our list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals (195 results).

Shenzhen International Holdings now trades at a steep discount to both analyst targets and intrinsic estimates after a weak year for the share price. Is that gap a sign of excessive pessimism, or does it reflect risks the market is correctly pricing in?

Preferred P/E of 8.4x for Shenzhen International Holdings: Is it justified?

On the numbers available, Shenzhen International Holdings looks inexpensive on earnings. The stock trades on a P/E of 8.4x, compared with both a peer average of 9.9x and an Asian infrastructure industry average of 13.1x. Our estimate of a fair P/E sits higher again at 15.2x.

The P/E ratio compares the current share price to earnings per share and gives a quick read on how much investors are paying for each unit of profit. For an infrastructure and logistics group that generates revenue of HK$17,906.1m and net income of HK$1,538.7m, this kind of gauge helps you judge whether the equity market is applying a low, average, or rich earnings multiple.

The current P/E of 8.4x sits well below both the sector and the estimated fair P/E of 15.2x. This signals that the market is pricing Shenzhen International Holdings at a heavy discount to what its earnings profile might justify. The fair ratio suggests a level the valuation could converge toward if investors place greater weight on factors such as forecast earnings growth of 28.8% per year and the stock trading roughly 44.5% below an estimated future cash flow value of HK$9.54 per share.

Still, Shenzhen International Holdings faces pressure if toll road or logistics volumes soften, or if funding costs shift in ways that undermine the appeal of that low P/E story.

Another view on Shenzhen International Holdings’ value

There is a second lens on Shenzhen International Holdings that investors tend to watch closely. The SWS DCF model points to a future cash flow value of HK$9.54 per share, compared with the current HK$5.30 price, which suggests the stock screens as undervalued on this framework as well. If both earnings multiples and cash flow signals indicate a low valuation, the key question is what might cause that gap to stay open.
