Hopson’s H1/23 results were strong as expected, and will likely outperform those of many other POE developers. The top line grew 14% y-o-y to HKD 15.1 bn. Gross profit surged 75% to HKD 5.4 bn, with the gross margin rising by 12 ppts to 36%. The company also managed to cut net debt by HKD 5 bn. We expect Hopson’s contracted sales and cash collection to be supported in the next 1-2 years by its high-quality land bank and CNY 47 bn of saleable resources. In addition, we believe the company faces low near-term repayment risk, given the limited ST bond maturities. Our Credit Bias on Hopson is "Stable". That said, we believe the bond price could be volatile amid the weak market sentiment and poor technicals. We maintain our “Hold” recommendation on the HPDLF curve.
