After excluding rongchuang service and Zhengrong service in the table, the reporter roughly calculated that the average static PE of companies trading with Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) in the industry is 17.625, and the net PE of Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) is 18.12 times, which is a reasonable difference.

In order to strengthen the demonstration effect, Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) also lists the valuation process of the transaction target: first, the value of the transaction target is 1651 million yuan by using the income method; Later, it was evaluated with the asset-based method, and the evaluated value of the transaction object was 96.4469 million yuan. Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) believes that because the subject matter of the transaction is light assets, the appraisal value cannot fully reflect the asset value, so it selects the value parameter measured by the income method.
According to Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) prediction, in the next five years, Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) property management light asset operation can maintain a profit growth of about 20 million per year. Even the analysis of the income trend of the subject-matter sustainability period is the same as that in the fifth year.
At present, in the Hong Kong stock capital market, there are few successful cases of real estate enterprises injecting business management light assets into property listed companies. More property companies expand through mergers and acquisitions. However, putting the business management light assets in the group system into the property company can better coordinate the development and expand the market value of the property listed company. The connected transactions between Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) and Shimao services also follow this path. According to the situation of Shimao Group today, this related party transaction not only solves the problem of horizontal competition between Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) and Shimao services, but also adds cash flow to Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) . At the same time, it is also conducive to the coordinated development of Shimao services.
On December 22, Shanghai Shimao Co.Ltd(600823) closed at 3.36 yuan, down 3.45%, with a market value of 12.6 billion yuan; Shimao services closed at HK $5.37, down 1.65%, with a market value of HK $133.1.
