Lucror Analytics

Lucror Analytics is a leading credit and ESG research specialist and a provider of technology solutions for differentiated fixed income strategies. Our roots are in bottom-up fundamental credit analysis with a specialization in high yield corporate credits from Europe, Asia and Latin America. We are one of few research specialists integrating ESG considerations with fundamental credit research through a dedicated ESG platform. Our ESG assessment covers five key criteria: Disclosure, E,S, & G Pillars, Controversies, ESG Impact on Credit and ESG Momentum.

Recognizing the importance and value-add of Factor Investing in fixed income, Lucror developed the Smart Quant Navigator (SQN), an intuitive platform that helps clients devise and implement factor-based strategies ranging from pure quant to active fundamental, with integrated ESG.

Our company has been at the forefront of developments in the fixed income markets, identifying opportunities and consistently delivering new products and value-adding solutions to clients. Lucror has close relationships with the largest and most reputable asset managers, family offices, hedge funds, investment and wealth managers globally.

Road King’s H1/23 results were mixed in our view. The company reported robust top-line growth, albeit gross profit plunged due to lower ASP of properties delivered. In addition, cash dividends from toll roads declined materially, owing to the non-renewal of the Tangjin expressway concession upon expiry in April. Positively, Road King’s net debt continued to decrease, as it repaid borrowings using cash collection from property deliveries. The company could sustain its sales momentum in H2/23, as it is poised to launch the So Kwun Wat project (its sole remaining undeveloped project in Hong Kong) for sale. We believe Road King will remain current on its obligations for the next 12 months. That said, the company's medium-term prospects appear dim. Moreover, the small and dwindling land bank might suffice for only another two years of development. In the meantime, the company is likely to continue repurchasing offshore bonds. We move our LARA to "High Risk". We maintain our “Hold” recommendation on the ROADKG 2024 notes, but move to “Not Recommended” on the remaining notes.
