Midas: announced that its JV co, Nanjing SR Puzhen Rail Transport (32.5% owned by Midas) was awarded 2 contracts by Nanjing Metro Co. worth a total of RMB 3.13b.
i) The Nanjing Metro Line 3 contract is worth RMB 2.15b for the supply of 276 train cars and delivery is expected from 2013 – 2015.
ii) The Nanjing Metro Line 10 contract is worth RMB 0.98b for the supply 126 train cars and delivery is from 2013 – 2014.
Note that these contract wins are for Metro trains (orders given at the City level), and are different from High-Speed Rail contracts (orders given at the State or Country level).
Hence concerns regarding a potential slow down in HSR contracts are still valid. Nevertheless sentiment in the stock should get a bit of a boost today in view of the size of the new order.
