Major banks rating丨Morgan Stanley: Expects Hong Kong property prices to decline by another 5% in the first half of next year, generally lowering the Target Price for real estate and House Rental Companies.
On December 13, Gelonghui reported that Morgan Stanley issued a report predicting that housing prices in Hong Kong will drop by another 5% in the first half of next year, and will turn positive in the second half, remaining flat for the entire year (previously predicted to drop by 5%). Office and retail rents are expected to decline by another 5%. Although there is valuation support, the bank believes that real estate stocks will continue to perform poorly, and has generally lowered the Target Price for real estate and House Rental Companies, focusing on the sustainability of dividends. The bank downgraded WHARF REIC's rating from 'Shareholding' to 'Shareholding', lowering the Target Price from 28 Hong Kong dollars to 20 Hong Kong dollars, and downgraded HYSAN DEV's rating from 'In line with the market' to 'Shareholding', lowering the Target Price from 14 Hong Kong dollars to 13 Hong Kong dollars.
