Hong Kong stocks are moving | Mongolian coking coal (0975.HK) rose 137% in three days Mongolia overtook Australia as China's largest supplier of coking coal.
On December 7th, Mongolian coking coal (0975.HK) rose 49.38 per cent, or about 137 per cent, to HK$1.21 in the past three days, ingesting a market capitalisation of HK$1,245 million. Statistics show that Chinese imports of Australian coal fell 96% in November, and more than 80 Australian coal tankers, worth more than 5 billion yuan, are currently stranded in Chinese ports. And with the subsequent impact, Australia will cancel more than 10 billion coal orders. At the same time, Mongolia successfully overtook Australia as the country's largest supplier of coking coal in September.

The Group's gross profit was nearly US$130 million, up 20.1% YoY, while shareholders' share of profit was US$47.1 million, up 59.4% YoY. MMC chief executive Battsengel Gotov said earnings growth was higher than revenue due to higher sales and basically stable production costs. The group's main customers are from the mainland regions of Inner Mongolia and Gansu, where he says demand for high-quality coal mines has increased as a result of increased environmental controls in the mainland. As for the trend of coal prices is expected to remain stable.
The rail network, which runs through Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, said it expected to open in 2021, when it would address the current bottleneck of transporting coal only by truck, increasing transport capacity to China by 30 million tonnes, while transport costs were expected to be cut in half and the group would benefit significantly.

Now up over 100% in one and a bit sessions.
Is it going to be privatised? Its controlling shareholder should have the cash after its deal with Cerberus earlier this year?

So here we sit, one year later, with the company turning out almost exactly the same volumes as 2018, but the stock is down by about 2/3. Either the market is very concerned about their debt load, the next year or two price they are going to get for their coal, the GOM favoring the government owned coal mine next door to the extent of purposely trying to diminish the viability of MMC, or some other reason. Too bad this company can't pay a dividend (due to the debt load), because that would go a long way to addressing the share price assuming the other concerns are non-issues.

This thing keeps grinding down, and P/B is now about 0.1, which is way lower than average coal companies. We realize there are no guarantees regarding coke coal prices going forward, or certainty on demand from China. On the other hand, it appears work is finally underway to build a railroad that MMC can leverage once in place, which is a major issue for their cost to deliver their product, as well as volume capacity, yet the market appears to not be pricing this in.
I wonder if the market is concerned this company will go bankrupt yet again. They have about 600 million dollars in total debt, which it appears they can service the interest on (which is fairly high levels of interest rate), but can they really ever pay it down? That's the only thing that concerns me, other than of course the current state of the share price.
Thoughts?
