Best Ways to Position for the Growth of REITs in Korea

<p>Daelim Industrial's BOD and shareholders agreed to spin-off the company into <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dl-e-c-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31375:1" rel="noopener">DL E&amp;C Co Ltd (375500 KS)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/daelim-industrial-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18095:1" rel="noopener">DL Co Ltd (000210 KS)</a> in December 2020. DL E&amp;C and DL Corp shares started trading again on 25 January 2021. DL E&amp;C and DL Corp's market caps are 2.45 trillion won and 1.08 trillion won, respectively as of 26 January 2021. The combined market caps of the two companies are 3.53 trillion won, up more than 20% from the pre-spin off levels. DL E&amp;C makes some of the best apartments in Korea and this is their bread and butter business. </p><div>Hyundai E&amp;C, GS E&amp;C, HDC Hyundai Development, and Daewoo E&amp;C are the most appropriate comps to DL E&amp;C. These four comps are currently trading at P/E (2021E) ratios 11.8x, 6.1x, 5.6x, and 6.9x, respectively, using the consensus earnings estimates. The average P/E ratio of these four companies is 7.6x. If we apply 7.6x P/E on the estimated net profit of 660 billion won, this would suggest an implied market cap of 5.0 trillion won, which would be nearly 100% upside from the current market cap of 2.4 trillion won. If we use the lowest P/E multiple of the comps (5.6x) and apply to the estimated net profit of 660 billion won, this would suggest a market cap of 3.7 trillion won, which would be 51% higher than its current market cap. </div>
