Wolf Money(Pico Far East 1H 2021 result up 138%)
Pico Far East had just reported first half profit of HKD 58m, an increase of 138% compare to HKD 24m last year. EPS came in at HKD 4.65c. The result is commendable given the challenges facing mice sector where hosting physical events had become difficult due to lockdown and social distancing. Greater China especially mainland China contribute to the recovery as more events are held in China post covid lockdown. Southeast Asia market continue to be weak due to covid 19 hampering recovery in physical events held. Greater China now account for over 60 percent in revenue. The management is cautiously optimistic with general recovery from covid 19 but they did warn of recovery been gradual. I estimate they will be doing a better second half due to bigger contracts fulfilment for Oman museum,Tokyo Olympic Games and Dubai Expo which happens to be the biggest contact win in their history since their participation in Expo from 1988.
