Shanghai INT Medical Instruments (SEHK:1501)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Shanghai INT Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. focuses on the development, manufacturing, and sale of medical devices with a market capitalization of HK$5.24 billion.

Operations: The primary revenue stream for Shanghai INT Medical Instruments comes from its Cardiovascular Interventional Business, generating CN¥718.71 million. The company has a market capitalization of HK$5.24 billion.

Shanghai INT Medical Instruments showcases a compelling profile with its earnings growth of 5.3% over the past year, outpacing the Medical Equipment industry's -4.3%. The company reported sales of CNY 392.32 million for the first half of 2024, up from CNY 339.76 million a year prior, and net income rose to CNY 100.54 million from CNY 80.5 million. Trading at roughly 46% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation while maintaining more cash than total debt indicates financial stability despite an increase in its debt-to-equity ratio from zero to three percent over five years.

With no debt on its books, this small-scale player in the machinery sector stands out by trading at 74% below estimated fair value.

Lisi Group (Holdings) (SEHK:526)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Lisi Group (Holdings) Limited is an investment holding company that manufactures and trades plastic and metallic household products across Mainland China, Hong Kong, the United States, Europe, and other international markets, with a market capitalization of HK$1.95 billion.

Operations: Lisi Group generates revenue through four primary segments: Retail (CN¥332.82 million), Wholesale (CN¥953.97 million), Investments Holding (CN¥33.68 million), and Manufacturing and Trading (CN¥1.44 billion). The Manufacturing and Trading segment is the largest contributor to its revenue stream.

Lisi Group, a small player in Hong Kong's market, is showing some promising traits despite recent volatility. The company's earnings growth of 20.5% last year outpaced the Consumer Durables industry slightly, hinting at potential resilience. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.5x, it appears undervalued compared to the broader Hong Kong market average of 10x. Impressively, Lisi's interest payments are well covered by EBIT at 17 times over, suggesting strong financial management. Recent executive changes and an HKD 60.8 million equity offering could indicate strategic shifts aimed at enhancing long-term value and stability for shareholders.
