Macquarie trims GOME Retail (00493) to HK$0.5
|
Macquarie Research trimmed its target price for GOME Retail Holdings (00493) to HK$0.5 from HK$0.7, and reiterated its "underperform" rating post its disappointing results. The research house is concerned with home appliance sales momentum given the China property sales slowdown while the company's high gearing ratio is also concerning. Macquarie adjusted its net profit estimates for FY2018 to a net loss of Rmb67mn (from Rmb278mn profit). It noted that GOME booked a one-off impairment losses of Rmb743mn in 2017. Stripping out these one-offs, the operating profit would have been Rmb361mn, up 124% YoY. However, the financing cost of Rmb692mn wiped out the majority of the profit. Macquarie projected 25% YoY growth of financing cost for FY2018, i.e. Rmb863mn. |
