Quantitative Analysis

The property sector in China has been in the spotlight over the last few years. Regulators have made various attempts to temper price growth but the silver bullet has been elusive so far.The powers that be realise that the lack of affordable housing is one of the reasons for China's birth rate dropping and there is now a renewed effort to ensure that property prices do not continue to run up. As part of the measures that started with the 'Three Red Lines' almost a year ago, Bloomberg reports that China has halted PE funds from raising money to invest in residential property developments.We take a look at some of the regulatory changes that have been implemented over the last year and see how the companies in the sector are faring. We then look for stocks with similar characteristics but different stock returns over the last year to find trade opportunities.

Instead of the 20% YoY decline in headline FY20 profit, we think the market's focus should be on the sharp HoH turnaround in its bottomline (excluding one-off items).In the post-FY20 result call, management believes that SZ Int has significant potential to be released in the future. Besides the recovery of logistics, toll road and airlines operations, it will benefit from the expansion in logistics network, securitisation of logistics facilities, contribution from Qianhai project and in the longer term, the transformation and upgrade of South China Logistics Park. We remain positive on SZ Int and believe the stock's current multiples are far from being able to fully reflect its value.
