Recommendation: New Oriental Education & Technology (EDU US)

New Oriental is the largest provider of private education services in China with a network of 88 schools and 1,100 learnings centres across 76 cities.  New Oriental generates the majority of its earnings from After School Tutoring services for K-12 students and a small contribution from adult test preparation for overseas and domestic exams. The company has been listed on the NYSE since 2006.

What Jun Bei says about New Oriental

• New Oriental is a high quality business that operates in an attractive industry underpinned by strong structural growth drivers.
• Spending on private education in China is growing exponentially and we expect it to increase by almost 3 fold by 2030 to US$692b.  The After School Tutoring market currently accounts for 37% of the total private education spend and is expected to reach 80% with the rise of Chinese middle-class income.
• Being one of the first entrants in the After School Tutoring market allows New Oriental to build scale and reinvest in staff, curriculum as well as a technology platform.
• New Oriental has been growing at a compounded rate of 20% since listing and we are expecting it to grow between 20-30% over the next 10 years.
• Recent government regulatory reforms to improve teaching standards favour incumbent players such as New Oriental and it is well positioned to take advantage of consolidation opportunities with more than US$1b in net cash.
• New Oriental is attractively priced relative to its peer group and our target price is US$90.30.
