[ET Net News Agency, 21 September 2018] Citi lowered its target price for Hopson
Development (00754) to HK$6.4 from HK$6.5, and maintained its "sell" rating against lumpy
earnings outlook.
The research house said it is fundamentally cautious on Hopson's rapid expansion plan
(target Rmb30-50bn sales in 2019), especially given the challenge of adding new lands and
execution (has been slow for 12 years) despite its prime asset portfolio/investment
properties and the new CEO.
With the sudden change and uncertainty on its strategy and overhang from corporate
governance concerns, its tight liquidity (Rmb19bn short-term debt > Rmb4.5bn cash) also
constrain its growth and make it more vulnerable in any downturn, Citi noted. (KL)
