Results preview: kickstarting the earnings upcycle

After a 2-3 year earnings downcycle, we believe the upcoming results (to be Mainland China/Hong Kong Property

released from July to November; most are interim, but some are annual results) will & Conglomerates

kickstart a multi-year earnings upcycle (we forecast a 9% Y/Y earnings growth Karl Chan AC

developers in the near term. Top picks: Link REIT, HKL & Swire Prop among

landlords; SHKP among developers; CK Hutchison & Jardine Matheson

among conglomerates.
