The above consolidations are from a PRC bank known as China Merchant Bank (CMB). For past 10 years, its operating profit rose by 7 times, equivalent to 26% growth per annum, 4 times PRC GDP. However, its loan provision is pretty high, thus investors need to assess your own risk profile if you wish to take a position in it. My assessment of CMB estimated fair value is HKD26.52 and ideal entry price at HKD13.63 or below. A gentle reminder to all investors, the ideal entry price is derived based on a historical safety margin off its fair value and it is not a price prediction. Investors are advised to buy in batches to further safeguard your capital against volatility. The estimated fair value is derived based on a long term horizon and i have no timeline to realise its value. Investors with short term investment horizon are advised not to follow.
