Core Viewpoint - The transportation sector is expected to see small-cap stocks outperforming large-cap stocks and H-shares outperforming A-shares in the first half of 2025, driven by lower valuations and higher dividends in H-shares, as well as frequent thematic market trends. The outlook for the second half of 2025 remains positive, focusing on dividend-paying stocks and those with improved free cash flow [1][3]. Group 1: Transportation Sector Opportunities - The transportation sector in Hong Kong is characterized by low valuations and high dividend yields, with the TTM PE for the transportation industry at 7.6 times, compared to 10.6 times for all Hong Kong stocks, and a dividend yield of 3.1%, which is 100 basis points higher than the overall market [7][10]. - The sector is expected to benefit from a recovery in domestic air travel demand, with a projected annual growth rate of over 6% in passenger volume and a significant improvement in profitability due to lower oil prices and improved pricing strategies [12][24]. - The logistics sector is anticipated to see a recovery driven by new technologies, global expansion, and the rise of instant retail, while the express delivery sector is expected to stabilize after intense price competition [3][52]. Group 2: Shipping and Port Operations - The oil shipping market is expected to see improved demand due to OPEC+ production increases, with a focus on the VLCC market benefiting from seasonal demand in the fourth quarter [32][37]. - The container shipping sector is under pressure from supply but is expected to see high dividend-paying stocks as attractive investment opportunities, especially with limited new supply expected until 2027-2028 [44][46]. - Port operations are projected to benefit from increased cargo throughput, with container throughput expected to grow modestly in the second half of 2025, supported by improved domestic demand [49][50]. Group 3: Express Delivery and Logistics - The express delivery sector is experiencing double-digit growth, with a 20% increase in business volume in the first five months of 2025, driven by trends such as small parcelization and the growth of live e-commerce [52][54]. - The logistics sector is expected to see a technological revolution that will enhance efficiency and reduce costs, leading to improved profitability and valuation expectations [60][61]. - The cross-border logistics market is adjusting to changes in tariffs, with resilient demand expected despite geopolitical tensions affecting supply chains [63][68].
