ML Ups Shenhua Energy To Neutral; Not Yet A Buy

Merrill Lynch ups China Shenhua Energy's (1088.HK) H shares to Neutral from Sell.

Says stock has fallen 30% from mid-October peak; recently-signed 2008 contract coal prices up 10-15%, spot prices also hit record.

But still doesn't warrant Buy rating, as stock is expensive at 1.25X house's NPV HK$35/share, 25X house's 2008 PER, higher than 19.5X for HK broader market.

Notes Shenhua's 75% of total sales are contract sales, which are 20-30% below spot prices.
Adds if Shenhua shortens contract duration, or inks M&As, could be near-term catalysts.

Stock +4.8% at HK$45.70 under active volume HK$1.46 billion.

China Shenhua Energy Co., the world's second-largest coal company, could raise almost $80 billion to spend on acquisitions of mines, power plants and ports to feed the nation's growing demand for energy.

The mining company is in preliminary talks to invest in Indonesia and is studying targets in Australia and Mongolia, President Ling Wen said Nov. 30. The $134 billion unsolicited takeover offer for Rio Tinto Group by BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, may accelerate those plans.

``It's very important to use not only organic growth, but also mergers and acquisitions to make our enterprise larger, better and more profitable,'' Ling said in an interview in Beijing. ``We have huge room to make some acquisitions.''

China Shenhua would be able to finance takeovers because its parent, state-owned Shenhua Group Corp., owns a 74 percent stake. China Shenhua would be able to free up $78.5 billion by selling new shares and diluting its parent's stake to just over 50 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Neither the state nor the company have any current plan for selling stock, Ling said.

China, the largest energy consumer after the U.S., burns coal to generate almost 80 percent of its power. The government estimates energy demand will rise about 4 percent annually to the equivalent of 2.7 billion metric tons of coal by 2010. Gross domestic product grew 11.5 percent in the third quarter.

Indonesian Projects

China Shenhua, which ranks behind St. Louis-based Peabody Energy Corp. in coal sales, gained as much as 1.4 percent to HK$47.75 ($6.13) in Hong Kong and traded at HK$47.35 at 12:05 p.m. local time. The stock more than doubled this year, outpacing the 46 percent advance in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.

The parent's stake dropped from 81 percent after the company raised 66.6 billion yuan ($9 billion) in a Shanghai share sale in October. The stock has declined 8.8 percent since to 63.19 yuan.

The Beijing-based company is considering ``several'' projects in Indonesia including coal mining, electricity generation, railways and ports, Ling said, without naming potential targets. He declined to comment on a Nov. 26 report in the South China Morning Post that China Shenhua is considering a $4 billion bid for a controlling stake in PT Adaro Indonesia, the nation's second-largest coal producer.

``Shenhua wants to become a global company and in order to get there it has to acquire overseas assets,'' said Donovan Huang, a Hong Kong-based coal analyst at Nomura Securities Co. ``China is encouraging its coal companies to acquire overseas assets to enhance energy security.''

Beyond Coal

It is ``possible for us to consider some other kinds of mining than coal mining'' if the assets generate ``a good return,'' Ling said, without specifying minerals the company may add. The internal rate of return, a measure of a project's profitability, should be at least 10 percent, he said.

Ling said Shenhua is monitoring Sydney-based BHP's bid for London-based Rio Tinto. He declined to say whether Shenhua is planning a counteroffer. Shenhua's market value was equal to $163.5 billion on Nov. 30.

``We keep our eyes on the event but have no actions,'' Ling said. BHP's bid for Rio is ``a very good event in the mining sector globally and it will have a great influence not only on the mining industry but also on the Chinese economy.''

A five-year increase in metals prices has spurred about $185 billion of bids in the industry in the past year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A BHP takeover of Rio would trigger a new round of acquisitions and exert ``very heavy pressure'' on the management of Chinese mining companies, Ling said.

Record Prices

China, the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal, became a net importer for the first time in January, ending centuries of self-sufficiency. The benchmark price of coal at Australia's Newcastle Port rose 72 percent this year to a record $88.63 a metric ton for the week ended Nov. 23, according to the globalCOAL NEWC Index.

``In the long term, I think the coal price will keep this high level and still have room to increase further,'' Ling said. ``In the next five to 10 years there is no doubt the Chinese economy will keep this trend, with GDP growth of about 10 percent.''

Nomura raised its fair value estimate for China Shenhua Energy Co Ltd's Hong Kong-listed shares to 58.0 hkd from 52.0, citing prospects of further rise in coal prices, asset injections and overseas acquisitions.

The brokerage kept a ""buy"" call on the stock.

""We think Asian coal prices, having hit 90.25 usd/tonne on 29 November, could test 100/tonne, though the route up might not be straight. This would create a favourable environment for 2008 contract price negotiations, likely rising 9-15 pct year-on-year,"" Nomura said.

China Shenhua could see bigger domestic price increases, given its lower selling prices historically and its intention to price more aggressively in the future, it added.

Contract thermal coal was historically sold to power producers at regulated prices that were substantially below market levels. Market deregulation and higher regulatory costs also underpin an uptrend in contract thermal coal prices, Nomura noted.

Meanwhile, with Chinese authorities encouraging domestic coal producers to strengthen their muscle through consolidation and overseas acquisitions, ""we believe China Shenhua could close its first overseas deal in the first half of next year,"" Nomura said.

Moreover, mining assets of parent company could be injected into the listed company in the near term, it added.

At 2.39 pm, China Shenhua shares were trading down 0.55 hkd or 1.23 pct at 44.2.

China Shenhua Energy Co, the mainland largest coal producer, fell 25 cents to 39.35 dollars after the company announced weaker-than-expected preliminary results for 2007.

China Shenhua, which owns the largest coal reserve in the mainland, said its 2007 unaudited net profit stood at 19.8 billion yuan, up 19 percent from 16.6 billion a year ago.

""The results were 5 to 10 percent off our estimates and lower than consensus. My guess is, higher operating costs capped earnings despite strong sales,"" said Vivien Cheung, analyst at China Everbright Securities.

China Shenhua (1088, $39.8) 12M Target $38.0 Hold

Event: NDRC approved Buertai coal project of China Shenhua

National Development and Reform Commission recently approved China Shenhua¡¦s Buertai coal project.

The designed production capacity of Buertai coal project is 20mn tons. The total investment will amount to RMB3.4bn. The new plant will be operational in 2H09 and expand production capacity of Shenhua by 12%.

The company will release its 2007 financial results on 17 March, probably to be in line with market consensus.

The company¡¦s contract coal prices for 2008 has been finalised that represents a 10% increase yoy. We believe a structural tight supply of coal in China will ensure the uptrend of coal price in 2008.

The counter is currently trading at 2008 PER of 26.5x that we think is fair. We reiterate our HOLD recommendation on China Shenhua with an unchanged 12-month price target of $38.0.
