Analysts bank on colony's Dao Heng

Article Abstract:

Investment analysts are taking an interested look at Hong Kong's Dao Heng Bank Ltd. (Dao Heng) because it offers high growth and better protection from increasing interest rates. They also believe that the company's share price is a bargain at $2.35, some nine times of the consensus forecast of 1995 per-share earnings. Many believe that Dao Heng's less-than-satisfactory performance in recent months can be attributed to an inherent weakness in the banking sector and not in the stock itself.
