Equity Bottom-Up

Yesterday after the close of trading, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hongkong-land-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15465:1" rel="noopener">Hongkong Land (HKL SP)</a> <a href="https://links.sgx.com/FileOpen/HKLH0906.ashx?App=Announcement&amp;FileID=682657" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a US$500mn share buyback program, which will run until 31st December 2022.
As the holding of treasury shares is not permitted in HKL’s constitution, any shares repurchased will be canceled.
Based on the average daily volume over the last year of US$9-10mn, this buyback is roughly equivalent to ~15% of daily volume through to 2022 year-end. That's pretty meaningful.
Jardine evidently believes it makes good business sense to buy back its own shares in place of deploying capital into HKL's investment and development property portfolio.
At a ~68% discount its NAV of US$14.75 (as at 30 June) - even after today's move - HKL is cheap. Jardines think so too.
Buy on any weakness.
