Lam Lung On (chairman) 68.3 Expect more M&As to come in FY18F We believe this acquisition will alleviate some investor concerns about Yuzhou’s limited Insert saleable resources. We expect Yuzhou will crystallise more M&A opportunities in FY18F, given management’s good connection with potential sellers and the continuing consolidation trend in the property sector. Maintain Add, Raise TP to HK$6.6 We revise up our FY17-19F EPS by 8-20% to factor in this acquisition and FY17's sales figures. We estimate the NAV accretion of the acquisition will be around 10%, lifting our FY18 NAV estimate to HK$11. Our TP, based on 40% discount to NAV, rises to HK$6.6. Key potential catalysts are progress in other M&As and faster-than-expected sales growth in FY18F. Key risks: further tightening policies, slowdown in China economy.
