Guangdong Land Holdings [HK: 124]
GDL Agrees To Acquire Two Greater Bay Area Projects
Two New Projects Acquired. GDL agreed to purchase Jiangmen Yuehai and Huizhou Yuehai from Yuegang Investment, a subsidiary of Guangdong Holdings, the ultimate controlling shareholder of GDL.
Jiangmen Yuehai owns the Jiangmen Ganhua Project, which is located less than four kilometers from the central commercial district of Beixin Sub-district and connected to mass transit, and roughly 10km from GDL’s other Jiangmen project. The Project has a site area of 192,652.34m2, split between two adjacent parcels. Parcel A has a site area of 174,537.52m2 and will have 274,371m2 of residential, 119,194.52m2 of commercial and 3,035m2 for ancillary public facilities. Parcel B has a site area of 18,114.82m2 and will have 28,797m2 of elderly residential apartments and public service facilities and 12,800.5m2 for care homes and health centers. All units will be held for sale. The Ganhua Project will be split into three phases, with pre-sale of Phase 1 commencing in May 2021 and the entire Project slated for completion in December 2026. The Project is currently at the land leveling stage. The purchase price of Jiangmen Yuehai is RMB 954,179,553, which is comprised of RMB 648,179,553 in cash (of which 70% is due on the one year anniversary of deal completion) and the assumption of RMB 306,000,000 in loans. As of August 31, the NAV of Jiangmen Yuehai is RMB 1,275.81 million. Additional details of the Project will be released in the upcoming Circular, which is scheduled for release on November 19.
Huizhou Yuehai owns the Huizhou Dayawan Project, which is located in the Dayawan District of Huizhou, roughly 60km northeast of Shenzhen. The Project has a total site area of 30,698m2 and will be developed to have 92,094m2, comprised of 81,469m2 of residential space, 9,209m2 of commercial space, and 1,416m2 for ancillary public facilities. Development is expected to be completed in October 2023 and pre-sale is expected to start in March 2022. All units will be held for sale. The Project is currently at the land leveling stage. The purchase price of Huizhou Yuehai is RMB 273,797,700, of which RMB 82,139,310 is payable upon completion and the remainder is due on the one year anniversary of deal completion at a 4.35% interest rate. As of August 31, the NAV of Jiangmen Yuehai is RMB 288,990,472. Additional details of the Project will be released in the upcoming Circular.
This deal looks to be another positive development for GDL as it adds to its portfolio of Greater Bay Area projects. Jiangmen Ganhua also provides a provide that will extend beyond GDH City, providing a better picture of future cash flows beyond its initial project. Another positive for GDL is that the majority of the purchase price is first payable on the one year anniversary of deal completion, which provides GDL greater cash flexibility in the near term while it sells existing units to generate cash.
Laurel House Deliveries Drive Q3 Revenue. Yesterday, GDL reported third quarter results with Revenue of HK$1,484.28 million, which nears the total Revenue we had estimated for H2:20. Revenue was driven by a surge in deliveries at Laurel House, which totaled 16,417m2 in the quarter. Cumulatively, GDL has delivered 73.4% of Laurel House. Occupancy of the commercial units at Laurel House stood at 85.4% at the end of the quarter. The remainder came from the delivery of 3,480m2 of space in the NW Land portion of GDH City. Total deliveries of GDH City stand at 18.4%, continuing to sell near our expected levels. GDL posted a slight loss for the quarter, at HK$12.58 million.

Yahoo Finance Morning Brief
The housing market has been on a tear since the spring.
In a trend the Morning Brief has called both a surprising and defining feature of this pandemic-induced recession.
On Thursday, existing home sales were just the latest piece of housing data to exceed expectations, with homes selling at an annualized rate of 6.85 million last month, the fastest pace since April 2007.
At this pace of sales, the housing market’s biggest pre-pandemic problem — a lack of affordable inventory — has only been exacerbated: there is currently just 2.5 months of inventory on the market.
Housing starts data published Wednesday showed new homes under construction rose to the fastest pace since February while permits to build homes are at more than 13-year highs. But this uptick in home construction isn’t likely to do much to ease this tightness in the market.
Back in September, Bloomberg Opinion columnist Conor Sen outlined how major homebuilders like Lennar (LEN) have outlined a cautious approach for the coming years, emphasizing moderate new building and careful debt management.

ValuEngine Weekly Report

Welcome Herb to ValuEngine! Please see below for the first of many articles/blogs by Herb Blank.
Low Volatility ETFs 11/13/2020
There are more than a dozen US ETFs with “Low Volatility” in their names. It made a difference this year as many Low Vol ETFs struggled to keep up with during this year’s “downturn” when one would normally expect lower-than-average volatility to go down less than the market in a year when market volatility is high. As a result of failure to live up to expectations, many of these ETFs bled assets under management (AUM). However, there are important differences in the manner in which these ETFs are constructed that can make their performance quite different in the same market cycles.
5000 stocks and 500 ETFs updated on www.ValuEngine.com. Free Access HERE
For example, let’s take a look at the ValuEngine reports on two different ETFs with “low volatility” in their names: SPLV from Invesco and FDLO from Fidelity. The price charts show that while both lagged the S&P 500 during the monotonic upward period, FDLO tracked it more closely. Through October and into November, FDLO gained back most of that ground while the gap between SPY (as an indicator of the S&P 500 index) and SPLV is considerably greater. A deep look at the methodology discloses the differences but takes some detective work.
