Looking forward with an ASP increase, COLI should be able China to see an inflexion point on margins soon, but we think it is not likely to be in China / Hong Kong Property 2016, when they have to consolidate CITIC's numbers. Such a negative is Ryan Li, CFA AC offset by the fact that COLI should continue to be an acquirer in SOE reform, (852) 2800-8529 which should enable them to grow much faster in scale than the previous [email protected] decade, at the expense of lower ROE though. We maintain our Neutral rating, Bloomberg JPMA RLI <GO> as we see more relative value in CRL, which should experience serial margin Karl Chan expansion due to unique Shenzhen exposure, and we could turn more positive (852) 2800-8513 on COLI only if we see more evidence of synergies brought forth by the [email protected] previous SOE M&As. On such, we remain skeptical. Jevon Jim Margin squeeze persists: We stay skeptical on margin expansion as the (852) 2800-8538 likely low-margin CITIC projects will be booked this year. We think such [email protected] margin squeeze is structural, as over the past 30 months when the J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited government controlled the land supply, the landbank cycle has been lengthened and thus COLI is no longer able to expand counter-cyclically Price Performance with its small landbank, and this inevitably will lead to margin squeeze, and 28 a smaller premium over peers on stock valuation we believe. 24 Potentially the long-term winner in SOE reform: COLI is big enough to HK$ be classified as an acquirer. This is a rather qualitative driver though, as we 20 think synergy for SOE consolidation is not easy to obtain due to restrictions 16 on reform upon mergers, and also NAV impact is uncertain as often share Aug-15 Nov-15 Feb-16 May-16 Aug-16 placement is involved. That said, the market may focus more on the story 0688.HK share price (HK$) rather than the numeric impact, and should such strong expectation of SOE R-CHIP (rebased) YTD 1m 3m 12m reform drive the stock to trade at a premium to NAV, it could be treated as a Abs -1.3% 2.7% 19.3% 27.0% positive even if COLI places equity we think. Rel 1.4% -1.7% 6.5% 23.9% COLI - 12-mth rolling P/E Reiterate Neutral as fundamentals are still deteriorating: COLI is now trading at an 11% discount to NAV (historical average: -7%), 8.6x 2016E x P/E (historical average: 10.9x) and a dividend yield of 3.2%. This is about 35.0 -0.5 standard deviation versus the historical average since 2011, which could 30.0 be fair due to a deteriorating ROE. We believe COLI will be a long-term 25.0 winner as they still have great operational efficiency. However, due to 20.0 +2 STDEV 15.0 +1 STDEV margin pressure and decrease in ROE, we think the evolvement of value 10.0 -1 STDEV from COLI could be slower than some of its peers, including CRL and 5.0 -2 STDEV Vanke. 0.0 Jan-08 Sep-09 Jun-11 Mar-13 Nov-14 Aug-16 China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd.
