RESEARCH ALERT-RBS cuts Yanlord Land to hold from buy, target S$1.46
SINGAPORE, May 26 (Reuters) - RBS has cut its rating for Singapore-listed Chinese property developer Yanlord Land to hold from buy and lowered its target price to S$1.46 from S$2.07.
STATEMENT: RBS said that Yanlord Land could fall short of its full-year sales target of 11 billion yuan by launching only prime, high-end projects for the rest of the year, due to purchase limits set by the Chinese government.
The brokerage also expects Yanlord to record a low gross margin of 35 percent, but a net gearing of 71 percent by the end of the year which is relatively high for Chinese property developers.
At 0300 GMT, shares of Yanlord Land were flat at S$1.33, and have plunged 20.8 percent since the start of the year.
