Big data changes life

  Mobility and transport are central to the growth trajectory of the New Silk Road in the coming  years. Cumulatively, Asia and the Middle East have more than 700 cities with populations  greater than half a million people. They are also home to half of the world’s busiest airports,  and 42 of the world’s 60 largest container ports. 

  The report estimates and describes the distribution and development of  human capital in China. We use a large amount of data and a variety of  methods to measure human capital comprehensively and systematically at  national and provincial levels in China, and construct a number of human  capital indexes. In addition to traditional measures based on education level, we adopt  the widely used Jorgenson-Fraumeni income calculation method (hereinafter  referred to as “J-F method”) to estimate the stock of human capital in China.  Compared with traditional measurement methods (such as education level),  J-F method can reflect the situation of human capital in a more comprehensive  way. Due to lack of relevant data, J-F method cannot be directly applied to  China. Based on human capital theory, we combine micro-survey data,  provincial-level data and Mincer equation to improve J-F method, which  greatly increases the feasibility and rationality of applying the method to  Chinese data.

  With a solid track record in Southeast Asia’s express delivery sector, we believe  J&T Global Express (“J&T Global”) is set to replicate its success story in Latin  America and the Middle East market. Meanwhile, we expect J&T Global to  narrow the loss significantly in China market, which will serve as a risk reduction  driver. We forecast J&T Global to achieve net profit in 2024E. We initiate  coverage on J&T Global with a HOLD rating and SOTP-based TP of HK$14.2. We believe the high valuation premium over peers has largely reflected J&T  Global’s promising outlook in overseas markets.

  Hong Kong’s economic success owes much to its comprehensive financial services industry,  which has long been recognised as one of the world’s foremost financial hubs. Over the years,  the industry has constantly evolved to meet the demands of a changing global market, driven by  the emergence of new technologies, evolving customer expectations, and changing geopolitical  conditions. Following these changes, the talent market of the financial sector has also undergone  significant changes in tandem with the overall landscape.
