Here's proof that CapitaMalls Asia is the superior competitor in China

What could be its weaknesses?

Barclays analysts visited CMA's six malls in Xi'an, Beijing and Tokyo as well as some of its competitors' malls.

The trip reaffirmed their view that: 1) CMA's strategy and execution are superior to most competitors in China, although challenges could slow growth; 2) 'capital recycling' remains on the backburner, even for the mature-but-small Japan portfolio.

Here's more from Barclays:

Near-term earnings growth will be mainly driven by Singapore residential and new mall openings, as well as continued pick-up in yields at the 51 malls opened in China.

We visited CapitaMall Xindicheng in Xi'an, the CapitaMall Tiangongyuan site and Grand Canyon Mall in Beijing. In our opinion, CMA's malls are superior in terms of execution and positioning to some of its immediate competitors. We also visited CapitaLandTownship's Xi'an township La Botanica and Poly Real Estate Group's residential project in Beijing, the latter selling well at 30-50% higher prices, reflecting strong home demand, especially in Tier 1 city suburbs.

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. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
