HSBC Research · March 23, 2026Kerry Properties (00683.HK) Making Steady Progress After Deleveraging, Target Price Lowered to HKD 24, Maintain ‘Buy’ RatingHSBC’s report highlights that 2025 core earnings declined 22% year-on-year to HKD 2 billion (HKD 2.5 billion excluding mainland provisions) but were accompanied by record contract sales of HKD 35 billion and a faster-than-expected reduction in net gearing from 41.5% to 33.3%, marking 2025 as a pivotal deleveraging year. The note maintains a Buy recommendation while trimming profit forecasts and cutting NAV from HKD 48 to HKD 46, lowering the target price from HKD 25 to HKD 24, and stressing strong cash flow, robust leasing operations and attractive dividend yield against risks from sluggish office performance and broader property-market volatility.
