Citi: Property stocks benefit from rental flexibility and rate cut expectations. Henderson Land (00012) is the top choice.
Citi's top stock picks in the industry are Henderson Land (00012), Swire Properties (01972), and Link Real Estate Investment Trust (00823).
According to Citi's rating, hong kong property stocks benefit from rental elasticity and rate cut expectations. Swire Properties, Hongkong Land and Link REIT are the top choices.
Citigroup's report states that it has a positive view on the rental income of Hong Kong property developers, as it expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at its September monetary policy meeting. The market has received positive feedback because rental income has shown more elasticity than expected, supporting cash inflow. Another factor is that the number of people traveling to Shenzhen/China from Hong Kong remains stable at around 0.55 million per weekend (a 12% decline after the summer vacation from August 31 to September 1). Overall retail sales decline is narrowing, especially for non-essential items. Luxury goods retail integration is still ongoing. Lastly, as housing rental prices rise, the negative interest rate differential is narrowing (currently at a yield of 3.3% to 3.4%).
