Shares of Sunac Holdings (1918.HK) surged 7% in Hong Kong trading Tuesday to a record high of HKD25.15 and Nomura reckons there could be another 13% upside for the Chinese property developer.
Nomura analyst Elly Chen says high quality land acquisitions can support strong sales growth in the next 5-6 years:
Management has raised its 2017 sales target to CNY 300 billion from CNY210 billion previously and guided for saleable resources to grow at least 25% to CNY618.7 billion. Sunac is Chen's top pick among Chinese property developers. The analyst, who has a buy rating on the stock, has raised her target price to HKD26.26 a share (from HKD25.20) and raised its core earnings estimates for 2018/18/19 by 92%, 14% and 10%, respectively, after factoring in recent land acquisitions, higher gross margin assumptions and gains from business combination.
Shares in Sunac are up a whopping 290% so far this year.
