PE: 6.9x

Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing, a smaller player in Hong Kong's market, has shown significant insider confidence with Ho Chung Lee purchasing 483,000 shares valued at approximately HK$1.1 million between January and May 2024. This move aligns with the company's strategic share repurchase of over 14 million shares for HK$29.65 million during the same period, suggesting potential undervaluation. Despite relying on higher-risk external borrowing for funding, their earnings surged to HK$805.69 million in H1 2024 from HK$359.9 million a year earlier, signaling growth potential amidst financial challenges.
