HSBC Research on "Dah Sing": Potential storage cost turning positive may help stabilize the property market, expecting a fifty percent increase in property prices next year.
HSBC Research's research report indicates that investors should focus on companies with profit recovery potential and those that may shift business strategies. With the increase in residential rents, the potential recovery of holding costs will benefit the demand for property ownership, and may also help stabilize the property market in unfavorable economic conditions. The bank predicts that property prices will stabilize in the second half of the year, rise by 5% next year, noting that prices have fallen by 6% from the beginning of the year and have seen moderate increases for five consecutive weeks. The bank is bullish on Sun Hung Kai Properties (00016.HK) and Kerry Properties (00683.HK) among many developers, with target prices of HK$116 and HK$19.6 respectively, both rated as 'buy'.
Standard & Poor's expects that Hong Kong property prices will stabilize next year, raising the sales volume forecast for new projects to 0.02 million units.
Rating agency Standard & Poor's released a report stating that after a nearly 30% decline in high Hong Kong property prices in 2021, they are expected to stabilize next year. However, local developers are still struggling, mainly due to high inventory, and the recognition of residential projects purchased during the period of high land prices will further pressure profit margins. Nevertheless, Standard & Poor's believes that with the government relaxing housing market measures and interest rates trending downwards, they have revised their forecast for next year's new home sales volume to 0.02 million units. In addition, Standard & Poor's expects that the future three to four years' new supply may exceed 80% of the government's ten-year private residential supply target.
