Trading houses and builders may gain most in a rally

Article Abstract:

Stock analysts consider the stocks of property developers as the best buys in Hong Kong's handover climate. Aside from property developers, analysts are also monitoring the performance of red-chip companies and established Hong Kong blue-chip businesses with extensive experience in China. Red chip companies are better buys for short term investments. Among the best bets for investments are Jardine Matheson, Hutchinson Whampoa Ltd., China Overseas Land & Investments and Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. Investments in red chip companies should be preceeded by investments in trading houses such as First Sign International Holdings Ltd. to assuage fears on the valuation of these chips. These companies have shown solid earnings growth and price/earnings ratios more than 22 times their projected 1997 earnings.

Seeking underpriced assets: Hong Kong has several candidates for delisting

Article Abstract:

Financial investors are advised to be cautious of investing in firms rumored to be delisted in the stock exchange. Potential for lucrative investments exist in delisted companies which are taken over by outside management but if deals go wrong, investment values may sharply decline. Peregrine Investment Holding's failed plan to privatize Kwong Sang Hong International Ltd. in 1996 is an example which caused share prices to drop about 30%. Advisors consider the current hotel industry of Hong Kong as a good investment due to its potential for privatization.
