- Expected Performance:
- Interim results are expected in late August, with the firm likely to maintain stable GPM and flat earnings.
- Contracted sales are anticipated to rise strongly from September onwards due to more new launches and concentrated exposure in major cities.
- Strategic Move: Acquired a 30% stake in the Foshan Oriental Bund JV project from SHKP (16 HK), increasing its stake to 50%.
- Project Details:
- Total GFA: 2.8 million sqm.

- Revised FY15/16 earnings: 0% / +2%.
- Recommendation: Maintain BUY rating with a target price of HK$7.8.
Emerging Market Impact
- Economic Slowdown in China: May drag down other emerging market economies through:
- Reduced Import Demand: As one of the major consumers of global commodities, China's slowdown could reduce import demand, impacting countries reliant on commodity exports.
- Investor Risk Appetite: Economic moderation and financial volatility in China may lead to capital outflows from emerging markets to developed economies.
- Affected Countries:
- Philippines, Brazil, South Africa: More significantly impacted due to close trade ties with China.
- Indonesia, Turkey: More vulnerable due to foreign currency-dominated debts.
- India: May benefit due to lower risk exposure to commodity exports and competition with China.
- Long-Term Outlook: With the implementation of China's "Go Out Policy" (e.g., Belt and Road Initiative), emerging markets may benefit from increased Chinese ODIs.
