Nvidia demand continues to outweigh supply, JPMorgan says
Investing.com - Goldman Sachs downgraded Sunac Services (HK:1516) (OTC:SSHLF) from Neutral to Sell and lowered its price target to HK$1.48 from HK$1.78.
The downgrade follows what Goldman Sachs described as "lackluster" first-half 2025 net profit results, with property management services business gross profit margin declining 4 percentage points year-over-year.
Goldman Sachs noted increased third-party accounts receivable impairments, resulting from management’s more prudent revenue booking and impairment provisions for services to residential property owners, alongside rising repair and maintenance costs as warranties expire on recently delivered projects.
The investment bank expects Sunac Services to face another 1-1.5 years before margins stabilize and impairment risks moderate, given its portfolio contains "sizable low-quality projects" delivered by affiliated developer Sunac China (HK:1918) in recent years.
Goldman Sachs also highlighted Sunac Services’ revised dividend policy, which now calculates payouts based on net profit rather than core profit, projecting a relatively unattractive 1% dividend yield for 2025, compared to coverage peers at 4% and privately-owned property management peers at mid-to-high single-digit percentages.
