CapitaLand's China home projects to dodge latest property curbs

But yes, overall sales will dip.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Since CapitaLand reported its FY12 results, residential property policy concerns in both Singapore and China have affected its market value. 

While CapitaLand’s sales in China are likely to decelerate following a good 2H12, Maybank says that the recent pullback offers an attractive entry-level for investors with a medium-term view. 

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

With new home prices in China showing stronger-than-expected appreciation in January, the government is widely expected to introduce more measures in the coming months to rein in prices.

We believe that such measures, when implemented, may decelerate home sales, but unlikely to materially impact CapitaLand’s profitability on their China residential projects.

In addition, its retail business under CapitaMalls Asia (CMA SP) is gathering momentum, and is likely to underpin the medium term growth for CapitaLand in China.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
