Among them, the sales scale of 7 core cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou and Nanjing ranked among the top three, and the sales scale of 16 cities ranked among the top ten. 2) Land acquisition: land acquisition focuses on high-energy cities and core urban agglomerations. In the past 21 years, the company has acquired 113 new land, with a total capacity of 15.59 million square meters and an equity area of 8.86 million square meters, of which the total investment proportion of the Yangtze River Delta and Dawan District exceeds 70%. The company has strong comprehensive development strength, and has abundant resources to be developed in the core position of Shenzhen, the core city of Dawan District, such as Shekou, Taiziwan, Qianhai, Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center and other areas. We believe that the integration of jiazhaoye’s high-quality urban renewal and commercial and residential projects in Dawan district will help the company strengthen its deep cultivation in Dawan district and its surrounding areas, supplement high-quality land resources, improve its comprehensive competitiveness and consolidate its development advantages in Dawan district. The joint cooperation of the United Nations asset management company is conducive to the company’s control of cooperation risks.

The financing advantages of central enterprises have helped open the prelude to M & A. The “three red lines” of the company remained green for 21 years, with an asset liability ratio of 61.67%, a net debt ratio of 42.82%, a cash short debt ratio of 1.25 and a comprehensive capital cost of 4.48%. The company’s financial stability, obvious financing advantages, and smooth financing channels, took the lead in issuing M & a medium-term notes in January 22. We believe that the blessing of M & a financial instruments will help the company achieve positive expansion and further improve its market share in the process of optimizing the industry structure.

Investment advice: buy. We believe that the company enjoys obvious financing advantages under the credit endorsement of central enterprises, which is conducive to further consolidating its fundamentals in this round of industry adjustment. The company has deep government and industrial resources and strong comprehensive development strength, which helps to broaden land acquisition channels and enhance anti cyclical. We estimate that the company’s net profit attributable to the parent company from 22 to 24 years is RMB 11.2 billion, 12.3 billion and 14 billion, corresponding to EPS of RMB 1.41, 1.55 and 1.77. Considering the strong comprehensive development strength of the company and taking the lead in resource integration, it is expected to transform the high-quality soil storage in core cities and improve the regional market share. A certain premium will be given to the valuation. The company will be given a 15 times PE valuation in 2022, with a target price of 21.2 yuan, maintaining the “buy rating”.

Risk tip: the relaxation degree and speed of regulatory policies are lower than expected, and there are transformation and integration risks in M & A projects.
