Hutchison Port Holdings Trust - HK Kwai Tsing throughput recovery continues in Dec

  • Hong Kong Kwai Tsing container throughput posted a +12.7% YoY gain to 1.4m TEU for the month of Dec 2016, a sign of continued recovery with YoY growth rates steadily improving since the 17.6% decline clocked in Feb 2016. 
  • On a yearly basis, HK Kwai Tsing container throughput fell 2.4% YoY to 15.2m TEU, close to 2009 levels or the lowest in the past ten years. 
  • For Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPHT), we keep to our assumptions for throughput growth of 2% in FY17 for now. 
  • Looking forward, we expect the alliances to negotiate contracts with terminals, a process which may introduce volatility in both throughput and tariff rates. 
  • Nonetheless, we believe HPHT is in a good stead to compete for contracts, especially after its Kwai Tsing comanagement agreement. 
  • We reiterate BUY on HPHT with a fair value of US$0.46.
