Morning Views Asia: AAC Technologies Holdings, China Jinmao Holdings, Greentown China

Greentown's H1/24 results were acceptable, given the above-industry sales and top-line growth. While gross profit declined, the property development gross margin was stable from FY 2023, and remained robust relative to peers. In addition, net debt was stable from FYE 2023. More importantly, the company's access to onshore financing appears healthy, and liquidity is adequate. The company remains active in land acquisitions and has a good quality land bank, mostly in high-tier cities in the Yangtze River Delta. Although Greentown is considered a pure-play developer (as its recurring income businesses are small), the company appears to have navigated the industry downturn well, thanks to its cautious approach towards land investments and operating efficiency to support a fast-churn model.
