Hong Kong Developers: Better Year Ahead for Hong Kong Housing; Inventory Risk Remains
We expect 2025 home transaction volume to continue to pick up from 2024’s growth of 16.7% (according to data from Hong Kong’s Land Registry) even as expectations on interest rate cuts moderate. Our preferred pick in the sector is Henderson Land, which trades at a 33% discount to our fair value estimate of HKD 34 per share and offers an attractive 2025 dividend yield of 8.2% currently, compared with Sun Hung Kai Properties' 5.6%. We also like its diversified recurring income stream generated by its investment properties portfolio and stable contribution from its utility associate.
