MTR stock corrected over 24.5% in the last six months (as of July 20, 2016) as investors were concerned over the group’s performance on the back of ongoing tough market conditions. Moreover, concerns over outbound tourism from China also led to the stock’s fall.

Chinese outbound tourism has been forecasted to rise to over 220 million by 2025 as per the Goldman Sachs report. We believe investors need to leverage the levels of the stock as an entry opportunity.
