Conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings is expected to continue focusing on acquisitions, spinoffs, and cost-containment to raise its profit. We think efforts to improve customer retention at its drugstore chain Watsons and the tweaks in its telecom activities will help drive profit.
Currency headwinds should diminish, and a recovery in the euro, pound, and Australian dollar will help lift CKH’s cash flow and earnings in Hong Kong dollar terms.
Limited acquisition opportunities mean CKH will see slowing earnings growth. Even if it has cash to spend, there may not be suitable purchases to strengthen its core business.
