CSRC announced on 19 April that China and Hong Kong REITs will be included in Stock Connect. In the short term, we believe investors will find H-REITs attractive, considering the quality of underlying assets and liquidity of the stocks. Please find an updated list of C-REITs and H-REITs in this report. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on Hong Kong’s and China’s property sectors. Maintain BUY on LINK REIT, which is trading at an 2025 yield of 8%.
CCL Index fell after increasing for three consecutive weeks while CVI Index rose over 60, reflecting a change in banks' attitude towards granting mortgages from lukewarm to optimistic. CRI rose again by 0.55% mom. With expectation of fewer interest cuts, we foresee primary sales pulling back in 2Q24. However, we maintain our forecast of property prices (-2%) and maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector. We prefer retail landlords over developers. Top pick: Wharf REIC.
In Shanghai, the new home market shrank further with divergence among regions; the secondary market saw volume rebound with a weak ASP performance. In Hong Kong, sales performance is still divergent among developers despite new home transactions growing by nearly 15x mom in Mar 23, reflecting a mild recovery of market sentiment. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top picks: CR Land, COLI, SHKP and LINK REIT.
New-home sales in 50 core mainland cities weakened further in the second week of March. Second-hand home sales in Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou/Shenzhen are picking up while transaction volume was still lower yoy in Jan-Feb 24. Hong Kong property sales volume continues to surge. However, home buyers are still very picky and sensitive to pricing. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the China and Hong Kong property sector. Expect attitudes toward POE and quasi-SOE developers to improve in the near term.
The 2024 NPC meeting gave little evidence of strong policy support to the property sector. New-home sales in 50 core mainland cities remain weak. Second-hand home sales in Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou/Shenzhen are picking up. Hong Kong saw a very strong rebound in new-home sales after the 2024 Budget Speech. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the China and Hong Kong property sector. Expect a continuous sales recovery to drive the re-rating of Hong Kong developers.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan delivered the 2024-25 Budget speech in the morning, announcing the removal of all cooling measures (BSD, NRSD and SSD) on property transactions. HKMA also eased countercyclical macroprudential measures for mortgage loans. Overall, in the near term, we expect a strong rebound of transactions to help the stabilisation of property price. Upgrade sector to MARKET WEIGHT on higher transaction volume and better liquidity for developers. Top pick: SHKP.
Hysan’s underlying profit dropped 14.0% yoy to HK$1,832m, in line with our estimate. Turnover fell 7.2% due to: a) AEIs on 10% of retail area, and b) negative rental reversion of offices. Net gearing ratio further increased to 27.2%. Annual DPS declined 25% yoy to HK$1.08. The retail business has climbed out of the trough, but offices are likely to continue facing challenges. Trim FY24/25 earnings forecasts by 2.1%/5.4% respectively. Maintain BUY. Lower target price to HK$17.99.
