Aoyuan Results Solid, Remains Undervalued

Other than omitting special dividend payment as expected by some investors, Aoyuan's (3883) full-year results are largely in line with expectations.

Net profit soared 86% on-year to CNY1.64 billion; core net profit was CN1.89 billion, accelerating vs CNY666 million in 1H17. Total bank balances and cash were CNY26.54 billion with net gearing ratio at 51.0%, supporting further expansion ahead. Funding cost decreased to 6.5%, a big improvement vs 8.5% at end-2016.

Aoyuan declares final dividend of 25 fen or about 31 HK cents per share but does not dole out special dividend. This still yields a more than respectable 4.4% based on the stock's Wednesday close of HK$6.98.

Given Aoyuan shares have risen 10.3% month-to-date and massive 62.7% year-to-date, some post-results profit-taking won't be surprising, but the stock remains undervalued IMHO. Risks are largely on macro side given company's proven and solid track record in managing fast expansion.

你巧勁啊

問題並不在於原意、初心是不是好,也不在於某一具體條款對行業內不同公司的影響,而是對於A4治國的擔憂甚或恐懼。 不能自己是個錘子,看到什麼都是釘子。經濟都什麼樣了,還要監管這個規範那個。更要命的是,整頓監管思路太直接太幼稚。哦,把房價弄下來,把教培打掉,然後也不讓玩遊戲,那麼大家都...
