The adjusted NP forecasts for 2018-2020E are RMB4,453m, RMB5,549m, and RMB5,937m respectively. We cut our TP by 6% to RMB70; maintaining Buy.    1H18 results expected on 25 Aug    In 1Q18, Shanghai Airport reported NP of RMB 1,017m up 28.6% yoy, supported by a 5.5% yoy increase on total passenger traffic and the new airport fee standards.
