After the market close in the US yesterday 4th June the Wall Street Journal published an Op-Ed by US Senator Marco Rubio in which he announced that he intends to sponsor the “Equitable Act” – an acronym for Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges. At this time the text of the bill has not been published and we are seeking additional information about its contents and likelihood of passing. However, our early reaction is that this has the potential to cause significant changes in the domain for listings of Chinese firms going forward with the potential for de- listing of Chinese firms on US exchanges and re-listing elsewhere (most likely Hong Kong). More generally we see this development as part of an increased escalation of tensions between China and the US on multiple fronts which should cap the valuation multiple for China equities, in particular in the offshore index constituents and US-listed parts of the universe. We provide a list of the potentially impacted China / HK names with either primary or secondary listings on Amex, NYSE or Nasdaq.

  • Accelerated Scale Expansion to Further Stretch Balance Sheet
    September 20, 2016 COMMENT Sunac China Holdings (1918.HK) HK$5.87 Equity Research Accelerated scale expansion to further stretch balance sheet News On Sept 18, Sunac announced a potential transaction with Legend (3396.HK, Sept 19 close HK$20; Neutral; covered by Simon Cheung) to acquire 42 property projects in 16 cities with total unsold GFA of 7.3mn sqm for consideration of Rmb13.8bn, pending approval from shareholders of the companies. The consideration is comprised of Rmb3.6bn equity interest in companies that hold interests in the properties and assumption of Rm10.2bn of external debt, shareholders’ loan and accrued but unpaid interest. It will be paid in cash including Rmb5.5bn in 2016 and the rest in 2017 if the deal completes in early 2017 according to mgmt. Analysis As we highlighted in "Sunac China: Downgrade to Neutral on weak profitability and rising leverage" (Aug 31, 2016), we expect Sunac to continue its aggressive scale expansion at the expense of lower margins and higher leverage, and the proposed transaction comes at an even more accelerated pace than we anticipated. Based on the disclosed details, we note: 1) If completed, Sunac’s attributable landbank size will increase by 18% to GFA36.5mn sqm from 1H16 and geographic coverage will expand by 8 new cities to a total of 35 cities while the share of its attributable land bank in tier- 1/2/3 cities will change to 9%/67%/24% from 10%/75%/15% as of 1H16 (Ex. 1). 2) Stripping out one-off gains, the assets generated c.Rmb0.2bn net profit in 2015 (equivalent to 6% of Sunac's 2015 core profit) due to a deceleration in sales and margin slippage as per Simon Cheung.
