MacQ lifts China Overseas (00688) to HK$32.19
|
Macquarie Research lifted its target price for China Overseas Land & Investment (COLI)(00688) to HK$32.19 from HK$28.14, and reiterated its "outperform" rating. The research house said in last August that COLI's saleable resources were still short by Rmb641bn. Six months have passed, and 2H 2017 land purchases were Rmb68bn, while year-to-date purchases are Rmb30bn. It believes more work still needs to be done in 2018 and 2019 to re-ignite earnings growth in 2019. As for the management reshuffle, Macquarie thinks that should not be a surprise, especially when solidarity is much needed in the face of internal and external challenges. On Monday, management said they target HK$290bn for 2018 on saleable resources of HK$555bn. Macquarie doesn't see much difficulty in COLI meeting or even exceeding this target as, if using the same sell-thru rate as last year (66%), sales could hit HK$360bn. |
