Analysts
Our Views
- Distorted loan structure in favor of mortgage loans is a red flag, potentially leading to tighter property market control and more government intervention.
- PBOC dilemma: Balancing monetary expansion with housing bubble management.
- HKEx is expected to maintain its SELL rating due to stretched valuations (40x 2016F PE vs historical mean of 28x).
- The proposed changes to listing regulations are controversial, especially among smaller brokers.
- LRC (Listing Regulatory Committee) and LPC (Listing Policy Committee) are being introduced to streamline and improve the decision-making process for listing regulations.
- Earnings impact on HKEx is minimal, as only 10% of its revenue comes from listing-related activities.
- Market concerns include the subjectivity of "suitability" criteria, reduced LC involvement, and potential conservative decisions from the LPC.
