Investment advice
This week China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co.Ltd(001979) completed the registration of 3 billion yuan of M & A bills, of which 1.29 billion yuan was used for acquisition. High quality real estate enterprises’m & A will help to accelerate the liquidation of the industry, but the buyers and sellers are still playing the game, and the scale and progress of M & a need to be further observed. We believe that bank M & A loans and M & A bills have a high threshold for the application of subjects and projects, and are more inclined to head real estate enterprises and central state-owned enterprises, and the loan amount covers up to 60% of the transaction consideration. Recently, regulators have encouraged M & A loans, M & A bills and other financial instruments to support M & A, which has played a positive effect on the recovery of market confidence, However, when the short-term market risk has not been fully resolved, banks and real estate enterprises are cautious. In the past, the main force of market-oriented acquisition was private enterprises. Taking the M & a peak in 2017-2018 as an example, the M & A intensity of state-owned enterprises was significantly lower than that of other private enterprises in the same echelon. The M & A of state-owned enterprises mainly focused on policy restructuring, and there were relatively few market-oriented M & A. However, at present, the risk of financial institutions to private enterprises is relatively low. At present, the relaxation of M & A is mainly aimed at central state-owned enterprises, It has not effectively solved the problem of large liquidity pressure of private real estate enterprises. At the same time, the Bureau of statistics released the average residential sales price data of 70 large and medium-sized cities this week. From the number of declining cities, it increased rapidly from 36 in September to 52 in October, increased to 59 in November and fell back to 50 in December. However, the overall house price still decreased by 0.3% month on month, and the growth rate continued to be negative for four months, the first time since March 2015. Therefore, we believe that the expectation of policy improvement is still strengthening, It is in a state of watching while adjusting. From the perspective of sector investment opportunities, we still believe that there is a good allocation window in the first quarter, the expectation of policy improvement is still strengthened, and the industry beta market after policy repair is worthy of attention. At that time, the valuation of second-line real estate enterprises with greater flexibility may be improved. In the short term, it is still recommended to pay attention to the head real estate enterprises. We suggest to pay attention to: 1) development sector: Poly Developments And Holdings Group Co.Ltd(600048) , Gemdale Corporation(600383) , China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co.Ltd(001979) , China Vanke Co.Ltd(000002) , Longhu group and China Resources Land. 2) Property sector: Country Garden service, Xuhui Yongsheng service, China Resources Vientiane life.
