After the recent share price pullback, yet still strong three year return, the real question is whether Hang Lung Group now offers enough upside potential for the risks involved. How does the current valuation stack up against its fundamentals?

Preferred P/E of 13x for Hang Lung Group: Is it justified?

Hang Lung Group is trading on a P/E of 13x, using the last close of HK$13.55, which screens as more expensive than the Hong Kong Real Estate industry average of 9.2x, yet cheaper than closer peer companies on an average P/E of 29.6x.

P/E compares the share price with earnings per share and helps you see how much investors are paying for each dollar of current earnings. For a property developer and landlord like Hang Lung Group, earnings are influenced by rental income, property sales and any one off items, so the multiple often reflects a mix of core operations and accounting adjustments.

The company is flagged as trading at a 69.1% discount to the HK$43.86 fair value estimate from the SWS DCF model. Its recent record shows earnings declining 11.6% per year over the past 5 years, a 0.2% earnings decline over the past year and a current return on equity of 1.5% that is considered low. That mix points to a valuation where the modelled future cash flows look generous compared to the earnings history that underpins the current 13x P/E.

Compared with its sector, Hang Lung Group underperformed the Hong Kong Real Estate industry, which returned 2.4% over the past year, and it also underperformed the broader Hong Kong market, which returned 0.5% over the same period. A 13x P/E that is above the industry average but below the peer group average suggests investors are paying a premium to the sector, yet still applying a discount to closer peers.

However, Hang Lung Group still faces risks if earnings continue to decline and the low 1.5% return on equity persists, which could keep pressure on the shares.
