NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gimme Credit LLC, the premier independent provider of corporate bond analysis and investment recommendations, released a China property sector report rating the bonds of eight companies as underperform and two as outperform.
"The yield compression on China Property bonds over the past two years made it challenging to find value among the once-darling of Asian high-yield bonds," said Nuj Chiaranussati, emerging markets senior analyst Gimme Credit.
Cheap onshore lending has led property developers to fund their projects primarily with debt and this has resulted in rising leverage for the sector.
In this report, Gimme Credit names the following China Property bonds with underperform:
"While developers in top-tier cities have enjoyed robust sales growth, we think the upside for top tier developers will be limited from now, in light of the recent policy tightening," continues Ms. Chiaranussati. "On the other hand, we think that the catch-up of income growth in lower-tier cities and the continued migration (from rural to urban areas) should provide better upside for developers in these regions." Gimme Credit thinks developers such as Central China Real Estate Ltd (CENCHI) and Guangzhou R&F Properties (GZRFPR) present a better upside among this leveraged sector and gave them outperform.
Bond prices have been softening since early September, partly due to the government's cooling measures and Gimme Credit believes further softening will create good opportunities among these bonds.
In this report, Ms. Chiaranussati reviews the ten names under Gimme Credit's current coverage and compares their 1H16 results, credit profiles, and outlook.
