Central China New Life (建业新生活) IPO - More than just a property management service provider

Central China New Life (9983 HK) (CCNL) is looking to raise up to US$279m in its IPO.

A brief peer comparison shows that its operating scale is in line with smaller peers such as S-Enjoy Services, Sichuan Languang, Eversunshine. And even though it operated with relatively lower overall revenue/sqm/mth, the company still had middling overall gross margin, boosted by its VAS and other services.

Valuation is undemanding. CCNL is offered at FY2020E P/E ratio of 17 - 21.8x compared to the smaller peer group average of 29.6x, implying 36 - 74% potential upside. Even if we assume a discount range, potential return is still positive.
